During a conversation with Sway on his Sway In The Morning SiriusXM show, Eve spoke about her new memoir which details her journey from chart-topping rapper to philanthropist, actress, and beyond. Eve opening up about her struggles and triumphs, her early days breaking barriers in the male-dominated rap industry to her candid reflections on challenges like her DUI and the pressures of fame.

While speaking with Sway Eve opened up about her experience as a dancer for two months and quitting the day after she met Mase.

Sway Calloway: The last day you danced, what happened?

EveSo, the night before is when I met Mase and he was like, “What you want to do?” It was a slow night and I was like, “I want to rap,” and he was like, “Well, let me hear you,” and we rapped a bit. He was like, “Yo, you’re kinda dope.” He was like, “Why don’t you get dressed and we can ride around the city, and we can just listen to music,” and I was like, “I’m not coming with you. If my homies ain’t coming, I’m not coming. I don’t know you.” He was like, “Alright, be cool. Relax.” He was like, “My homeboy is with me. They can drive in the car with him, and they can drive behind us,” and that’s exactly what we did. Literally drove around until the sun came up, listened to music, homegirl’s in the back, went to his sister’s house when the sun came up, had some food. We fell asleep, the girls. When I woke up, he was gone and did not see him again and I stopped that day. I was like, “Never again.”

Grammy Award-winning rapper and Emmy-nominated actress Eve is set to embark on a new chapter in her multifaceted career as the 2024-25 Scholar-in-Residence at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. This prestigious appointment will see the hip-hop icon sharing her insights and expertise with students and faculty through a year-long residency that begins on September 21.

NYU announced that Eve’s residency will include a series of intimate discussions, classroom visits, and events that offer a deep dive into her historic career and the evolving music industry. Known for breaking barriers as a woman in hip-hop, Eve has spent decades cultivating a unique legacy in music, television, and film, while also dedicating herself to philanthropy, particularly in the arts and youth development.

“We are thrilled to be hosting Eve as our 2024-25 Scholar-in-Residence,” said Jack H. Knott, the Gale and Ira Drukier Dean of NYU Steinhardt. “She will share the expertise she’s gained as an award-winning artist in music, film, and television, as well as a philanthropist working with young people in the arts. I know our students and faculty will learn from her engagement and support of our efforts to advance equity, belonging, and innovation.”

Eve’s journey in hip-hop began in the late ’90s when she burst onto the scene with her debut album Let There Be EveRuff Ryders’ First Lady, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. She became a trailblazer, defying stereotypes and using her platform to inspire young women across the globe. Outside of music, she’s earned accolades as an actress, starring in the hit sitcom Eve, and appearing in blockbuster films like Barbershop. Eve has also used her influence to empower others through philanthropic work, focusing on youth, education, and the arts.

Eve’s residency at NYU Steinhardt marks a unique opportunity for students to learn from a living legend whose contributions to the culture have transcended the stage and screen.

“It’s been now 10 and a half years I’ve been in their lives and they’ve been in my life. They’ve grounded me.” She stated before admitting it wasn’t an easy adjustment. “I will say it took years, though, I’m not gonna lie. It did take two or three years to adjust, just our relationship with the kids. But I have to say I’m very lucky. I feel very, very lucky that I had my insta-kids — I call them my bonus children!”

Cooper posted the picture of their newborn to his social media with the caption, “Let the wild rumpus begin!”
