Overview

• Eve details the 2001 relationship in her new memoir, Who’s That Girl?, released around the 25th anniversary of her debut and co-written with journalist Kathy Iandoli.
• She writes that pursuing Suge Knight felt like “sweet revenge” after working with Dr. Dre, even as their collaboration produced the hit Let Me Blow Ya Mind.
• According to the memoir, Suge’s involvement in label dealings led to tension at Interscope with Jimmy Iovine, which she believes impacted the rollout of her third album.
• She says Ruff Ryders co-founders Dee and Waah Dean urged her to end the romance, and she recalls Knight responding supportively, telling her he would advise the same.
• Coverage notes Iconoclast previously bought Eve’s back catalog in a reported $25–$50 million deal, praising her as a trailblazer, with trade reports also pointing to a major masters transaction involving Irv Gotti at the same firm.
