Get ready to learn more about E-V-E now that the femcee icon is telling it all in her upcoming memoir. Earlier today (February 8), Philadelphia’s Finest shared that her memoir, Who’s That Girl?, would arrive this Fall. Eve famously catapulted into stardom in the 1990s as the First Lady of Ruff Ryders, a title that also holds a spot in her debut album’s name. Still, her accomplishments would push her out of America’s East Coast and in front of a global audience.
The story of Eve’s rise has been well-documented in interviews and documentaries. Yet, fans will soon receive a more reflective perspective from the rapper, herself. “I’m excited for people to get to know me on a deeper level,” Eve stated. “This story is decades in the making.” Further, famed Hip Hop author Kathy Iandoli linked with Eve to round out the memoir, ensuring her story would also be told with cultural sensitivity.
A significant part of Eve’s story is her success in a music genre led and dominated by men. According to PEOPLE, Eve promises to dig deep and reveal details regarding her interactions with many of her heavy-hitting peers. Eve will also deliver memories surrounding her biggest records, controversies about her high-profile romances, and navigating a challenging music industry. She’ll also dive into her path to motherhood—one that wasn’t always easy but was worth it. In early 2022, Eve and her husband, Maxmillion Cooper, welcomed a son named Wilde Wolf. It was Eve’s first child.
We also can’t forget Eve’s contributions outside of music. The raptress climbed the Billboard charts with tracks like “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” alongside Gwen Stefani, but her hits aren’t her only achievements in entertainment. She’s worked as a talk show host, starred in her own TV series, and has been featured in over a dozen films. Although we haven’t received a full-length studio album since 2013’s Lip Lock, fans were treated when Eve joined Trina for an unforgettable Verzuz in 2021.
Earlier this week, Mo’Nique’s eagerly anticipated Club Shay Shay interview finally dropped, and it didn’t disappoint. The performer discussed being shunned by her celebrity peers, calling out people like Oprah, Tyler Perry, Kevin Hart, and more. Even before the interview was released, social media users began to draw comparisons between Mo’Nique and Katt Williams, who just appeared on Club Shay Shay last month.
His interview went viral, as he similarly put several of his fellow comedians on blast. He dissed Kevin Hart, Rickey Smiley, Cedric The Entertainer, and more. Now, amid the fallout of Mo’Nique’s interview, she’s announced that she’ll be hopping on Williams’ Dark Matter tour. Kevin Hart’s ex-wife Torrei and Mark Curry will also join them on the tour.
Mo’Nique and her husband Sidney Hicks shared the news during an Instagram Live earlier today. The couple was addressing D.L. Hughley’s response to her callout on Club Shay Shay, as well as thanking the hosts of The Breakfast Club for their recent apologies. She had claimed that she was made uncomfortable during a game of “Would You Rather” on Hughley’s radio show, prompting him to fire back. “Every time I see Mo’Nique these days, she’s doing some greasy a** video with her and her daddy complaining about something or working out,” he said, also dubbing her a “liar.” According to Mo’Nique and Hicks, however, Hughley only scrapped the interview because they had gotten their attorney involved, though they hadn’t yet reached the point of sending him a cease and desist.
At some point in the Instagram Live, they snuck the announcement in. Fans note that Mo’Nique’s inclusion on the tour is sure to make it all the more explosive. What do you think of Mo’Nique announcing that she’s touring with Katt Williams following her Club Shay Shay interview?

Everybody is talking about Donald Glover’s new series Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The entire series dropped on Prime Video last week to rave reviews from critics and Glover has been making the rounds with a series of interviews to promote the project. In one interview with Complex earlier this week he revealed that he still sees Kanye West as hit GOAT rapper. He explained that despite the controversy none of the contemporary rappers around today would exist without West.
But it was actually an interview with his co-star Maya Erskine where an even bigger story was first tipped off. She said that Glover actually got married during the show, something he was asked about directly in an interview of his own. “Yeah. There was a day where I don’t think we had to be on set until noon or 1, so, I was like, ‘Can we get married today?’ I got married in the morning. We had a real wedding afterwards, too,” he revealed. Fans who have been following Glover for a while know that he’s said in the past that he doesn’t believe in marriage, so he also had to answer questions about what changed his mind.
Glover elaborated on what made him decide to finally get married. “What happened was, well, number one, I didn’t know what I was getting out of it. I felt like I knew what she was getting out of it, and I didn’t feel like she was being honest, necessarily, about what she was getting out of it. I was thinking about it in such a silly way, which I see now. Now I realize, yeah, maybe she’s gaining some stuff, but she’s also losing a lot of stuff,” he continued.
“We eventually had an honest talk and she was like, ‘I’m a traditional woman.’ And when she said that, some part of me was like, ‘And I want to help you be that.’ Whatever she needs me to be, that makes me happy. Especially nowadays, finding trust is so hard, and the fact that we have this and that we can even argue about it and still be like, ‘But I love you’ — I mean, how many people have that?” What do you think of Donald Glover getting married in secret and filming scenes of Mr. & Mrs. Smith later the same day?

Doe Boy has just hit a new milestone in his career, and he’s worked his ass off to get here.
His newest song, “Way Too Long,” was just featured in the newest Apple iPhone 15 Plus commercial on national television, even getting more playtime than Taylor Swift during the NBA playoffs. The record was made specifically for Apple, with Doe Boy showing off his ability to sing versus his normal rap bangers.
If that’s not enough, “Way Too Long” was the most Shazam’ed song last month and is now impacting radio airwaves nationwide. LeBron James even co-signed the song on Instagram, with Doe Boy’s streams going up by over 200% since the commercial aired.
Doe Boy is currently working on his new album, following up last year’s self-titled BEEZY, which hailed standout appearances from Don Toliver, Lola Brooke, Future, Roddy Rich, and more.
The Source spoke with Doe Boy in downtown Los Angeles, who had only gotten two hours of sleep after a studio session with Roddy Ricch that lasted until 10am that morning. Read below as we discuss how the Apple commercial turned him up, getting more airtime than Taylor Swift in the NFL playoffs.
What was the moment you fell in love w/ Hip-Hop?
I can’t even really remember, I’ve just always loved it since a kid. Ever since I could remember, I loved music. Since tapes and shit like that. My first tape I had was a Bow Wow tape. I swear to God.
What does Hip-Hop mean to you?
Hip-Hop means everything to me. It’s how we express ourselves. People go through a lot of stuff, it’s good to be vocal. Hip-Hop, as far as any genre, we the best. Fasho the best genre, everybody wants to be like us. [laughs] No disrespect to the other artists in other genres, they know.
And it saved your life right?
Overly. Fasho. I wouldn’t be nowhere without it. I don’t know what I’d be doing.
What would you be doing?
Trouble. [laughs]
If it wasn’t the streets, what career would you pick?
I wanted to play football. I used to play mini league football. But as soon as I got to high school, I couldn’t play real football because I didn’t have good grades. So that was never gon’ work.
Can we talk about you playing against Key Glock in the Crew League?
[laughs] That was fun as hell. At the end of the day, I know I can’t play basketball. I just wanted to go have fun, go out there and cause havoc.
Did you practice though?
Nope. We didn’t even practice. Matter of fact, my team all got there that day. We was drunk before. We were drinking liquor out of Gatorade bottles. Damn, I broke the ceiling. I was playing with the basketball, threw it up and broke the whole ceiling.
Congrats on “Way Too Long”! Did a female inspire this?
Nah, a female didn’t inspire it. Literally, it was the plug. I made that song specifically for the outlets. Apple came with the concept.
They handpicked you?
It was more so a management situation. My management team went and got it from me.
Are you with SALXCO?
Yep, I love it there. As you can see, they got me on an Apple commercial. That’s crazy. That’s big. That might be as big as it could get for a Hip-Hop artist to do. An Apple commercial? And the stage to where they’ve been putting it: on TV. The placements. You gotta think, people don’t watch TV anymore for real. But people watch TV to watch football. That’s the only thing they’re watching on TV, and that’s what I’m on. It makes sense. They even played it during the Grammys, it happens at the right moments every time.
How geeked were you when you first heard it?
That shit was crazy. I was watching football with my mom.
I was going to ask, how proud is your family?
Man, proud as hell. Especially seeing that, the commercial shit, you gotta think: a n*gga been lit. I’ve been going up. Everybody knows I’m successful, but it be different when you seeing somebody on TV doing something that big. It’s fucking everybody up.
Did you ever think you’d be on TV like this? Your first TV commercial…
Yeah, I already knew that fasho. I knew it, I wasn’t settling for nothing.
Talk about singing though.
I always like to sing though, that’s the crazy part. A lot of people don’t be knowing that. It be so crazy though because I got a lot of singing music that’s out, it just get slept on. People gravitate towards my other shit. It opened up a whole nother world because now, people are like “Damn, he could do that?” Now, I’m finna show them something real quick.
Are you going to take vocal lessons?
I need to. That’s a good idea, go ahead and get as good as I can.
How are your peers responding to the song?
They loving it. It got a better reaction than what I thought.
LeBron likes the record too?
LeBron loves the song. He just posted it the other day: “man this shit so fire.” He been commenting on it too.
Who else likes the record?
Pluto obviously. Everybody forreal. Everybody been proud of me though. I swear to God, all my rap friends. They’re like “Damn man,” that’s all they been talking about. Even since I’ve been out here. Travis Scott the other day: “Man bro, I seen your commercial. Oh my God.” I was with Roddy Rich last night, we were in studio recording until 10 o’clock in the morning. He’s like “Bro, that commercial…” It’s crazy, everybody.
Talk about your friendship with G Herbo. What was that hilarious video with all the females?
[laughs] The Herb versus 20 girls. It was on some, Herb came to Atlanta. Soon as he gets there, he gon’ let me know. We be kicking it. I wasn’t even supposed to be in there, I was just with him. He said “I gotta go do this interview real quick,” so I pulled up with him. He’s so fried, I be having to fix it. He dogged the one girl, told her to leave. She got mad, they start arguing. That’s why I walked in the camera, like let me stop this.
I was just with Benny The Butcher, he just dropped a fire album.Yeah his album hard as fuck. That’s my n*gga, I fuck with Benny. I fuck with the whole Griselda.Gunn and them, they my n*ggas. Gunn be putting me up on the drip. Soon as the shit come out, he let me in. Gunn go crazy. You see his bracelet? That bitch crazy. Gunn goes crazy. Don’t sleep on Gunn, Gunn really the GOAT. You gotta think, this man was sitting on the floor in Paris with Virgil. When it comes to the fashion world, everybody loves Gunn.
How’d the Don Toliver song come about?
I met Don Toliver when we’re on tour together. Future brought us on tour. One day, Future was performing and we were sitting on the side of the stage. I said “Hey man, you wanna get on my song?” He’s like “I got you.” Alright. [laughs] Nah he really did it though.
Do you record better in LA or Atlanta?
Atlanta, because I live there. At the end of the day, I do my thing anywhere.
Do you feel like LA, you gotta tap in with the artists here?
Since I’ve been here, I’ve been with Future, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, Roddy. Since Monday [two days]. So hell yeah, definitely. Everybody right here,
Soulja Boy was the first artist to fly you to LA?
[laughs] That’s crazy. He was really the first rapper to really say, “Hey, come kick it with me” type shit. He let me come stay at his house. I was out on bond. I had just caught my case, I was on bond. He let me come to his house, I stayed there for about a week. Then I went to jail, crazy. I had to do 3 years.
Did you have a song buzzing then? What made him reach out?
Yeah, I had this song called “What You Mean.” He jumped on it, it’s with him and Future.
He could even say he’s the first rapper to fly Doe Boy out to LA.
He can say that, I’ll give that to him. I had it on my Stories a couple of weeks ago. He got a video saying that. “I’m the first rapper to fly Doe Boy to my crib,” he said that.
Did your following grow after the Apple commercial?
Hell yeah. Even my streams, it increased by 222%.
That means the money went up!
Man what? Apple pays nice. Apple pays very well. I can’t wait to get a publishing check though.
What’s one thing you want fans to take away from Beezy?
That was me more so showing if you really pay attention, from track 1 to the end, really look how I sequence it and everything. Really appreciate the artistry. I really like taking my time with stuff, real well put together. It’s not just a bunch of songs slapped together.
What can we expect from this album? Sounds like you’re going crazy.
A little bit of that, same thing. Stick to the formula.
Anything else you’re excited about?
I got plenty more stuff like that, how you see I got the Apple commercial. Oh look, they just sent me my phone. I got 3 phones. They sending wires, phones, all kinds of shit. [laughs]
Can you hook up the homies, or…?
Bro, you know what I went through? Oh my God, they weren’t trying to give it to me at first. They ain’t ever give nobody no phone. When I asked, they said no. But the commercial’s going so crazy…
Just for the rest of the year forreal forreal. I got a lot planned, a lot of big things coming up. I’m really at that breaking point of my career. Even right now, “Way Too Long” the #1 most added song on the Urban Rhythm charts. They just went to radio a week ago, it’s already the #1 most added. Stuff like that. I always had a buzz, it’s just different when you start getting accolades.
The Super Bowl is coming up this weekend with Halftime Show performer Usher ready to bring the soul, but fans looking forward to seeing what game DJ Tiësto would have contributed to the festivities will unfortunately be disappointed in that regard. The DJ has made the “tough” decision to pull out of the show due to a family emergency according to Variety based on social media posts he shared today.
“Me and my team have been preparing something truly special for months, but a personal family emergency is forcing me to return home Sunday morning,” he wrote. “It was a tough decision to miss the game, but family always comes first. Thank you to the @NFL for the collaboration and looking forward to working with them to deliver something incredible together in the future !”
Me and my team have been preparing something truly special for months, but a personal family emergency is forcing me to return home Sunday morning. It was a tough decision to miss the game, but family always comes first. Thank you to the @NFL for the collaboration and looking…
Super Bowl LVIII was to be the first with an “in-game” DJ, with Tiësto playing during breaks in the game. Some would even appear during CBS’ broadcast. Unfortunately, it looks like we’ll have to wait until some other time to see what Tiësto had up his sleeve. The NFL undoubtedly has a backup plan, but as of press time, it hasn’t yet been revealed which DJ will come off the bench to take Tiësto’s place — or if the league will just nix the plan altogether this year.
Well… at least we still have the ads. So. Many. Ads. (It’s a good crop this year, too.)
The 2024 Super Bowl is just a few days away. Sports fans are excited to see if Patrick Mahomes can win his third ring and lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a second straight Super Bowl win. But there’s also plenty of musical intrigue, not just because Taylor Swift is expected to be their to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce. But also because the Halftime Show is one of the biggest stages in all of music. This year Usher will bring his charismatic record of R&B hits to Las Vegas in a performance music fans can’t wait for.
Just as he’s about to make some new Super Bowl memories, fans are reminiscing on last year. Rihanna took the stage in 2023 in one of her biggest moments of public exposure in years. Fans were divided on the performance where she worked through a number of classics and announced her second pregnancy. Some fans came away from the performance disappointed after hoping she would deliver some kind of new music or a tour announcement. But now a Madame Tussauds wax museum in Orlando is giving fans a reason to think back on the performance. Check out the new wax figure they debuted below.
This isn’t Rihanna’s first wax figure. In fact, they’ve been making figures of her for decades now. But this particular one commemorates one of the most memorable moments in her career when she broke the record for most-watched Halftime show of all time. Ultimately though, all the hype and viewers didn’t translate into any new material for her fans.
Last month, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky popped up throughout Paris Fashion Week. They even got the chance to have a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron while in the country. What do you think of Rihanna’s newest wax figure of her Super Bowl performance last year? Do you think it’s accurate to how she looked during the actual show? Let us know in the comment section below.
It has been Usher overload as his highly-anticipated Super Bowl halftime show inches closer to materializing. The celebrated singer is days away from belting out his best hits on the coveted stage, and fans expect several surprise guests to help boost the performance. With a career that stretches back decades, Usher has delivered favorites that have defined several eras of music. Whether he’s stealing hearts with smooth R&B jams or getting the party started with club bangers, he’s amassed ongoing success that artists can only beg for. Moreover, this performance sets Usher in the history books as the first and only independent artist, thus far, to grace the halftime stage.
To catapult the already-swirling madness surrounding the event, Apple Music stepped in. Today (February 8), Apple Music shared the short film Where’s USHER, which hosts a score of 14 of the Grammy winner’s biggest hits. The visual is bolstered by several familiar faces, including Ludacris, Taraji P. Henson, Anderson .Paak, J Balvin, Wesley Snipes, and—last but certainly not least—Lil Jon. The elite group is seen trying to find Usher after losing him following a wild night in Sin City.
Additionally, Usher sat down with Apple Music Radio host Nadeska Alexis for the official Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show Press Conference in Las Vegas. He looked cool as a cucumber as he spoke about his upcoming, immense performance, also recalling a frightening moment when he thought he was going to mess up when he took to the halftime stage in 2011. Read through a few highlights of the conversation below, including his remarks on expanding businesses in Las Vegas, not wanting to be confined as only an R&B artist, and his secret Nickelodeon “confession.”
On Setting Himself Up With Success & His Apple Feature
I think I made it easy for myself when I decided to have like, features on songs that became hit records. That gave me the greatest point of reference. But here’s what’s beautiful, is that Apple has been following me throughout this entire process. So, we’re in the process of figuring out how we’re going to share it with you, break the internet by that conversation. There’s also, too, a documentary crew that’s been collecting all of the moments that have happened. There’s cameras around us at all times, looking at the process that we went through. You get a chance to see from the first moment that I got the call all the way up to the moment that I walk off the stage. At least that’s the idea.
But I am definitely, you know, I went through a lot of ideas of who I would have share this moment with me. And I do feel like the people who are gonna share it deserve just as much recognition for what they do in their careers, whether we have collaborated together or whether they’ve had moments of their own.
On The Snafu In His 2011 Super Bowl Performance
Oh, man. Oddly enough there was a moment that only I think I remember. My hand got caught in the wire that was holding me, like, 30 feet in the air. And I almost missed my first mark. I was like, ‘Oh my god, don’t let this malfunction cause me to miss something.’ But, that was one [memoy]. The second was, afterward, how amazing it felt to be in front of that many people and feel the energy. So much so, that it made me really passionate about eventually getting this moment that I’m getting to have. But it was really fueled by being able to be just, in that moment with the Black Eyed Peas.
On His Pride In Debuting Coming Home Album & Super Bowl Performance As An Independent Artist
I launched that album as an independent artist. And I will be, up until this day, the only independent artist who’s ever performed the Super Bowl Halftime Show. So, this is a beginning, this is a new beginning to me.
Las Vegas has been amazing for me. Having 100 sold-out shows in a residency and to have the next one, the crescendo, which is the Super Bowl with Apple. It’s really, really, really given my time here in Las Vegas an incredible button at the end.
On Not Wanting To Be Confined To One Genre
It’s nice to be in any category, but not to be categorized is what I’ve always hoped. That R&B as a trade and as a style, as a genre, as an emotion, as a spirit, be it being found through gospel music, jazz, rhythm and blues, blues in R&B. That it created all these other genres of music. We don’t understand how relevant R&B has been to the development of the industry that we have, and the artists and the creatives that have been a part that, that they didn’t get recognized either. So, I’m happy that R&B gets the stage on Sunday. I’m happy that R&B and rhythm & blues and the matter of what it is, as song and dance performers, it gets the recognition that it deserves. I’m honored. But I don’t want to be categorized as just an R&B artist.
On Connecting With Audiences Through The History Of His Catalog
I’ve tried so many things my entire career, and I’ve just managed to be able to gather people who celebrate my music and celebrate my experiences. And maybe they tie it to theirs. Maybe they got married to a song. Or maybe they fell in love to a song, maybe they made love to a song, maybe they celebrated and laughed and had an incredible time. Or maybe they cried, maybe they hurt, maybe had a chance to be confident in a way that they didn’t have before they listened to that song. That’s what R&B has been to me. And I hope that the rest of the world can celebrate in the way I celebrate it.
I visualize in these next few years that there will be more opportunity to build here in Las Vegas. I love this city. You know, when I received the key, I started trying to open doors, trying to figure out ways to do more things that activate this immersive experience that I feel like I had for an underserved audience that want to have a certain experience, that enjoyed the curation of the world that I created when I was here in Las Vegas. Where does that lead me? I don’t know. Maybe it’s businesses, maybe it’s more shows, maybe it’s shows that I curate, maybe it’s festivals, like the Lovers and Friends festival. Or maybe it’s, you know, hotels. Maybe it’s a different idea and standard for an artist who came from this world and then created a business here in this town.
Usher Gives A “Confession,” But Not What People Expect
Can I give you a Usher confession? Specifically for Nickelodeon, right? We gonna keep it age-appropriate? Nah. It was always a dream of mine to be slimed as a kid. I watched it just like all of us in here. To get that green goop over my head was something that I really, I just wanted to be able to say I did. And by the time I finally made it to the Nickelodeon awards, they just didn’t do it anymore. I was like, ‘That sucks.’
