DETROIT, MI -- Eminem appears to have an opportunity to make amends to the celebrity husband of a famous singer he appeared to feud with several years ago.

Nick Cannon, husband of Mariah Carey, said in a recent red carpet interview he'd "love to" squash his past beef with Slim Shady which stems from insulting lyrics about his wife.

"I would love to work it out," Cannon said. "I'm a huge Eminem fan. It was just one of things where, at the end of the day, just as a man, if somebody is going to say something about my wife, and you got real words, then let's have real words.

"That's all it was; that was like man to man."

Eminem's reported history with Mariah Carey is chronicled in a 2009 Complex Magazine story on its website that claims they started dating in 2001.

Eminem appeared to go after both Carey and Cannon hard in the 2009 song "Bagpipes from Baghdad" on his Relapse album. It was released May 15, 2009

Cannon reportedly married Carey on April 30, 2008.
