Currently on the road alongside Nelly and Ja Rule with the “Where’s The Party At?” tour, Eve stopped by Hot97and Nessa On Air, on July 29. Eve talked about the experience of touring with her son as well as her aspirations for him. In particular, Eve told Nessa, that she doesn’t want him to be a rapper, and hoped that he avoids the entertainment industry altogether.
Ruminating on her debut album which turns 26 this year, she also reflected on the early Ruff Ryders days, competing on the Ruff Ryders Anthem remix, working with DMX, and being dropped from Aftermath.
The platinum selling artist also opened up about writing Who's That Girl?, her 2024 memoir that invites the reader in with personal stories about her pregnancy loss, therapy, and rebirth. According to Hot 97, Eve also revisited her time stripping when she was just 17-years-old.
First talked about in an interview with Rolling Stone, Eve shared why she chose to share that part of her life early in her career.
“I didn’t let it define me because I was the first person to put it out,” she shared with Nessa. “I put it in that story on purpose because I didn’t need nobody coming from the f****g bushes being like, 'Yo, I used to see you in the club.'"
Eve also shared a word from Mase, who she met stripping, that may have changed the trajectory of her life, “If you really want to be serious about what you’re doing, this is not where you’re supposed to be.”
