Biography

Eve Jihan Cooper (née Jeffers; born November 10, 1978) is an American rapper, singer, and actress. Her debut studio album, Let There Be Eve...Ruff Ryders' First Lady (1999), peaked atop the Billboard 200 (making her the third female rapper to do so), received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and spawned the singles "What Ya Want" (featuring Nokio), "Love Is Blind", and "Gotta Man". That same year, she guest appeared on the Roots' single "You Got Me", as well as Missy Elliott's single "Hot Boyz", both of which peaked within the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 (the latter reaching number 5). Eve's second and third studio albums, Scorpion (2001) and Eve-Olution (2002), were both met with continued commercial success. Their respective lead singles, "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" (featuring Gwen Stefani) and "Gangsta Lovin'" (featuring Alicia Keys), both peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100; the former won her the inaugural Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. Her 2007 standalone single, "Tambourine" (featuring Swizz Beatz), also entered the Billboard Hot 100's top 40. After parting ways with Interscope Records, Eve released her fourth studio album, Lip Lock (2013), as her first independent project. As an actress, she starred as Terri Jones in the comedy drama films Barbershop, Barbershop 2: Back in Business, and Barbershop: The Next Cut, and played the lead role of Shelley Williams on the UPN television sitcom Eve. Eve also had supporting roles in the drama film The Woodsman (2004), the comedy film The Cookout (2004) and the horror film Animal (2014). From 2017 to 2020, she co-hosted the CBS Daytime talk show The Talk, where she was nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards.

Quotes

“What happened to the old badass Eve? She’s still there. I’m 29 years old, though. You have to grow up, evolve. But without the foundation of living in Philly, being that girl, I wouldn’t be the woman that I am.”

“Yeah, I heard about that! I think it’s horrible, number one, and number two, a lie. C’mon, I’ve been to some cities on the road and didn’t see one pretty girl. I’m not going to name names.”

“I went back and put a rap on it because I couldn’t take it. [laughs] But I love it. It’s not like Alicia Keys or Mary J. Blige singing, but I’m having fun with it.”
