Captain America actor Anthony Mackie says Eminem was actually dissing him in “Real Life” during ‘8 Mile’ rap battle

Anthony Mackie, who played Papa Doc, says Eminem used his real-life story to roast him.

Mackie revealed that Eminem used details about his real life as ammo against him during the iconic scene, much to his surprise

Anthony Mackie revealed on “The Pivot Podcast” that his life story was used by Eminem as inspiration for their infamous rap battle at the end of “8 Mile.”

“Eminem is such a brilliant dude. We’re on set one day, and he’s like, ‘Yo, it doesn’t make sense that we’re beefing,'” Mackie, 46, recalled. “I was like, ‘Right.’ He was like, ‘I need something on you.'”

“So we talked for like two hours, chilling,” said Mackie, who portrayed Papa Doc in the 2002 movie.

The Captain America star then revealed that the taunts about his character’s privileged background — including attending a private school and coming from a good family — in the film were actually about him.

“The next day we’re shooting the battle scene, and that’s why I’m standing there like, ‘You’re talking about me, you’re not talking about Clarence. That has nothing to do with the character. You’re an asshole, Eminem!’ I’m like, ‘I wanna fight this muthafucka!'” he joked.
