Eminem was back in the UK this weekend and he dropped by the Tim Westwood show as he always does when he is in the area. He had some very interesting this to say concerning his beef with Canibus.
“I met him four years ago at his video shoot, and honestly, he was an asshole,” Em explained. “They thought that I did the LL diss record. Clef had asked me did I write it and I told him no, I didn’t write it. Then Canibus asked me separately from Clef, and I was like ‘Dog, I’m a grown man, I’d tell you if I wrote it, I didn’t write.’ Then he was like ‘Yo B, I’m not gonna say that I believe you, but I don’t trust nobody in this game, blah, blah, blah.’ Then I’m like ‘Okay, look, I didn’t write it, I like your style, and hopefully one day we can do a record together.’ And he was like, ‘Yo B, get to know me first, come hang out with me first,’ and walked away and left me standing there like an asshole.”
Em said that Canibus approached him about a year later and apologized for their last meeting and asked him to appear on “Phuck You” (a track on Canibus’ sophomore album). Em declined because he didn’t like the track. Of course Canibus then had the “Stan” reply “U Didn’t Care” and the ads for his album had pictures of Em holding a Canibus sticker. Em said that his comments towards Canibus on “The Eminem Show” (Squaredance and Say What You Say) were just warning shots.
