Overview

• New excerpts this week spotlight Eve’s account in Who’s That Girl? of a short relationship with Suge Knight in 2001.
• She writes they met backstage at the Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards and that she pursued the liaison partly as “sweet revenge” toward Dr. Dre.
• Eve says Knight’s involvement with her business led to friction with Interscope chief Jimmy Iovine, which she believes affected her third album.
• Ruff Ryders co-founders Dee and Waah Dean advised her to end the relationship, and she recalls Knight responding supportively when she did.
• The memoir, co-written with Kathy Iandoli and released last September, arrives as trade outlets report Iconoclast bought Eve’s catalog in a deal believed to be $25–$50 million, alongside reporting of a separate $300 million Murder Inc. masters transaction.
