So that’s not why I dissed him. The reason I dissed him is actually a lot more petty than that. In Eminem’s epic saga, he didn’t just rhyme; he threw shade like confetti at a party. The dude had beef with everyone from pop stars to journalists. Will Smith got a taste, Mariah Carey felt the burn, and Nick Cannon—well, let’s just say he might still be recovering.
