One of the oddest pop culture rivalries is that between Eminem and Christina Aguilera. The singers openly attacked each other in 1999, and a lot of fans were left amazed.
At the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, Christina had to give her nemesis an award. At the time, it was considered an uncomfortable moment between the two. Christina presented an award to Eminem, who won it for the Best Male Video.
While the controversy between Eminem and Christina is over, fans on TikTok have been revisiting it over the past few months.
Eminem dissed Christina again in 2018
For years, it seemed like the two had let things rest, but that changed in 2018.
To fans’ utter shock, the rapper mentioned Christina once again in his freestyle track, “Kick-Off.”
A year later, the Genie in a Bottle singer appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and discussed what Eminem had said about her in his track.
“Yeah, I mean, that’s real thirsty. I don’t know what’s going on there. That’s really in the past and, you know, it was thirsty then, it’s thirsty now… It’s not nice to go after anybody, especially a female in this business and now, what we’re looking at and seeing come to the forefront, it’s just, get a new gig. Have something else to talk about,” Christina said.
It has been a while since the two have had a go at each other. So, we assume that they’ve both put their differences aside and have moved on with their respective lives.
Christina Aguilera and Eminem’s feud began when she commented on his marriage to Kim Scott.
So, how did Christina and Eminem’s feud start? It all went down in 1999 after Christina publicly discussed Marshall Mathers’ marriage. In her MTV special, What a Girl Wants, Christina said she heard a rumor that Eminem secretly wed his longtime girlfriend (Kimberly Scott).
“I heard hes married now …. the girl that he talks about killing on his record, actually,” she said on the special. She also warned viewers about physical violence in relationships.
Eminem eventually caught wind of the interview and retaliated through his song “The Real Slim Shady.” Article continues below advertisement
In Eminem’s song, he mocked Christina’s comments about his and Kim’s marriage and then accused the songstress of giving him “VD,” or venereal disease (another term for STDs). At the time, Christina told MTV News, “I just find what he has to say disgusting … just completely untrue.”
Two years later, he threatened to physically assault her in “Off the Wall” with Redman.
“Causing terror to Christina Aguilera,” Eminem said in the song. “When I grab her by the hair and drag her across the Sahara.” Article continues below advertisement
After the 8 Mile actor addressed her in the second tune, Christina responded in her 2002 song “Can’t Hold Us Down” from her Stripped album. Although she didn’t call Eminem out by name, she seemingly slammed him for his name-calling throughout the years.
“So what am I not supposed to have an opinion,” Christina sang. “Should I keep quiet just because I’m a woman? Call me a b—h cause I speak what’s on my mind. Guess it’s easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled.” Article continues below advertisement
