Eve opened up about a time Janet Jackson saved her life at a VMAs after party.
In her memoir Who’s That Girl, Eve recalls a time she drank a spiked drink at a 2007 VMA’s after party. “Missy came in to check on me, but I was just unable to collect myself. Then who walks in, Janet Jackson,” the rapper wrote.
“I had never met her before, and so her first introduction to me was seeing me hysterical. None of that mattered to Janet; she actually just sprang into action and told people to get aspirin, water, hot sauce, and a piece of white bread. That concoction knocked me right out of my hysteria. So basically Janet Jackson saved my life.”
We previously reported, Eve responds after Nicki Minaj issued her a heartfelt letter.
“Dear Eve, The various things you’ve shared recently, are groundbreaking (in my opinion) for so many reasons. First, thank you. The level of grace; the level of emotional & spiritual maturity it takes to be this vulnerable & transparent is a sign of TRUE peace, happiness, fulfillment, & mastery of self.” Nicki writes in response to a recent interview Eve did, discussing their dynamic.
“Self reflection @ its height. I always say that I think accountability is the sexiest trait a person can have- I was one of the kids in NY watching Ruff Ryderz on TV- I DEFINITELY remember how when you took the game by storm, that there were some ppl who couldn’t hide their insecurities. Even tho it’s swept under the rug now, I remember that you handled it with grace but ALSO a big sprinkle of unapologetic TALENT & charisma. You soared & soared. Classic music w/the illest team, to the BIG SCREEN. And made it look easy, too. Trendsetter. The Eve blonde short cut, the Eve paw print tats on the chest…”
“Dear Nicki, Thank you so much for this.” Eve penned.
“I really appreciate it. I have nothing but respect and am so proud to have seen you grow from strength to strength over the years as an artist, mom and always stayed true to yourself, lord knows it’s not easy for us ya’ll. Thank you for all the kind words and blessings to my family its goes without saying the feeling is mutual. Eve”
