Nick Cannon releases Eminem diss track ‘The Invitation,’ takes shots at his family

The hottest feud of the late 2000s is heating up.

Nick Cannon has released a new diss track, “The Invitation,” as a direct response to Eminem’s verse on Fat Joe’s “Lord Above” that came after Cannon, 39, and his ex-wife Mariah Carey, 49.

Cannon’s track — which also features Suge Knight calling out Eminem, 47, in a line apparently recorded from prison — takes aim at Em’s notorious family life with a verse that compares him to Drake.

“Call Kim, somebody get Hailey and that other kid you raising that ain’t even your baby,” Cannon raps, a reference to Eminem’s adopted daughter Whitney, his ex-wife Kim’s daughter from a previous relationship. “Took a page out of Drake book, this might get a Grammy/ We going back to back until you respond on the family/ My baby mama killed you off a decade ago/ You still crying about it bitch, now who really the hoe,” Cannon adds, a line presumably about Mariah Carey’s song “Obsessed,” which she recorded as a response to Eminem’s claims of a relationship with her.

The Detroit icon’s verse on “Lord Above” was ostensibly a response to Cannon’s September appearance on rapper T.I.’s podcast “ExpediTIously” where Cannon claimed he almost flew to Detroit to confront Eminem over the 2009 song “The Warning,” itself a response to “Obsessed.”

“I think we was flying back on a jet from Africa or somewhere and this motherf–ker drops a song, like, talking s–t. Calling [Mariah] all kinds of bitches and hoes,” Cannon told T.I. “I’m like, this is my wife’ … So, I wrote this long-ass letter pretty much saying, ‘Look, I respect you as an artist. I’m actually a fan and I think you’re one of the best to ever do it. But from man to man, you talking out of pocket to my wife. You gotta be held accountable for that so I need to see you face-to-face.’”

Cannon had already released a non-physical response to Eminem with “I’m A Slick Rick” in 2010, which must have flown under Em’s radar.
