Mariah Carey Dresses Like a Mock Eminem In “Obsessed” Video

Needed more evidence that Mariah Carey’s “Obsessed” is about Eminem? Photos from yesterday’s video shoot for Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel’s first single is all the proof you’ll need. In the pics, Carey — playing a dude thanks to some major league help from the make-up department — is seen donning Eminem’s trademark hoodie-and-hat look. Compare Carey’s photos with this picture of Eminem. Subtract Carey’s ridiculous beard and they’re nearly doppelgangers.

According to Just Jared, the pics were snapped yesterday, June 29th, outside of New York’s Plaza Hotel on the Brett Ratner-directed video shoot. Pictures of Carey dressed as a male police officer were also taken. As Rock Daily previously reported, Carey and her husband Nick Cannon took issue with Eminem after the rapper penned the creepy ode “Bagpipes from Baghdad” to his supposed former flame Carey. Carey promptly responded with the Tricky Stewart and The-Dream-produced “Obsessed,” which finds the diva singing, “It must be weed, it must be the E… Why are you so obsessed with me? Lying that you’re sexing me.” The lyrics alone were enough of a biting retort, but it appears Carey will bring the battle to the video arena.

Just Jared reports that Andy Samberg was originally cast in the role of the Slim Shady clone, but dropped out after discovering he’d be playing an Eminem-esque character, leaving Carey to fill the role herself. Carey celebrated the gender shift on her Twitter as well, telling fans “Check out my website to see a photo of the star of my new Obsessed video! LYM!!” and linking to another photo of Carey wearing another hoodie, doo-rag and a Marshall Mathers pout. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is due out August 25th while the “Obsessed” digital single is downloadable starting July 7th.

let’s hope eminem makes a video for “Bagpipes from Bagdad.” It could be epic!

Black Hole Sun | 6/30/2009, 7:49 pm EST

Agreed. She looks like Fred circa Chocolate Starfish.

The only way to squash this beef is for Eminem to make a “Bagpipes from Baghdad” video with him and Dre playing Mariah and Nick Cannon.

good job going out of your way to prove eminem right about you being obsessed with him.

Vhurka | 7/1/2009, 12:06 am EST

This is not smart.
Mariah Carey was going with Em for a while. She of all people should know that you simply don’t get into a beef with Shady. There are few depths to which he won’t sink. I mean, even that dude from The Lonely Island knew that.

I want to go Neverland on Friday, but i don’t know how to get there. Do anyone know how to get there?

I think Mariah is being rather foolish, I don’t know how she thinks she’ll win. Eminem has ten times the fans and popularity as she does. Give her props for her balls on this one though. But at the same time, having a beef with Eminem is making her more famous.

egos | 7/1/2009, 1:05 pm EST

a new way to touch bottom, congratulations mariah!

clint | 7/1/2009, 1:33 pm EST

His Prince Michael | 7/1/2009, 2:11 pm EST

“It’s just a sweet, sweet Fantasy
baby/that crooks and Carey ever PAY ME…” Act, like ya don’t know, hag.

Back in the day singers actually sung, not sit around tryin’ to figure out how to get their fans riled up.

Sheesh!

THE Mariah Carey; need not worry about a “C” grade rapper trying to capitolize on a (possible) realationship he might have had with her 10,000 years ago!
This coming from an (alleged) artist that has burned manequins of his mother onstage, at his concerts!!!!
He belongs underground.

Gargantuan_Guy | 7/31/2009, 6:13 pm EST

It is obvious that talent will breed money (Carey is worth approximately two-hundred-and-fifty-million- dollars.), not brains. Does she really have to go so far as to mimic Emminem to garner more record sales? The girl is set for life at the age of forty. I’d pull a Deanna Durbin (She was a young musical actress from the nineteen-forties who pulled a “Greta Garbo by quitting show biz for good at only twenty-eight years of age and with her third husband, moved to France and stayed there living the life of a recluse. She hasn’t even been interviewed for the since 1949. She is still alive at the age of eighty-eight.)the and take my fortune and run with Nick Cannon to Richard Branson’s thirty-thousand-dollar a night exclusive island where she has already vacationed at in the past, by the sucker, and live happily ever after.

intelligence.over.evil | 7/31/2009, 11:21 pm EST

to be quite honest with you, i think mariah’s gone too far, but that being said, she never directly targeted eminem. shady on the other hand… he sits back rapping about it and threatening mariah. ok so shady let’s see it! release the alleged phone calls of mariah calling your house!i’d like to see him do it. the fact is, they both enjoy this and want the record sales! please shady, a real man would leave it alone, but instead he holds onto all this anger. if he wasnt worried about this affecting his sales, he would have quit this act a while ago. yes, shady we get it. dont mess with you or you’re going to make fun of us in songs haha. mariah is just milking this for whats it worth!

kat | 8/1/2009, 12:56 pm EST

“They dated briefly” Really?

3:there is no number 3

THE TRUTH | 10/5/2009, 4:15 pm EST

say what you want about eminem, but mariah carey just made the biggest mistake of her life.

Anybody who beefs with him has gotten embarassed publicly and fallen off the map.

Remember Ja-Rule? Benzino? people who could actually defend themselves have literally been forgotten since messing with him.

Full Of Shiit | 11/1/2009, 4:16 am EST

U all need to get all a life big deal its a song. she is hot and em can handle it he from the hood remember you all make me laugh.
