Rapper-Singer Eve Set to Release Memoir ‘Who’s That Girl?’ in September
Get ready, my luvs! Eve Jihan Cooper—yes, the multiplatinum, Grammy-winning, Emmy-nominated rapper, singer-songwriter, actor, mother, philanthropist, and entrepreneur—is dropping her memoir soon! Eve has long been one of my Hip Hop Sheroes, and not just because people say I look like her (internally I jump with joy every time though!)
Remember her 1999 debut album, Let There Be Eve…Ruff Ryders’ First Lady? It went straight to number one on the Billboard 200, making her the third female rapper to hit that milestone. Eve has released four albums so far, co-starred in fifteen films, starred and co-executive produced her own sitcom, Eve, and co-hosted the CBS Daytime Emmy-nominated talk show The Talk. Oh, and don’t forget her role in the critically acclaimed series Queens. Talk about a powerhouse!
Musically, Eve’s been a trailblazer for women in hip-hop, always pushing the envelope with her lyrics. Hailing from Philly, she’s now posted up in London with her beautiful family.
And now, the definitive autobiography from this legend is about to drop. In 1999, she made history with her solo debut album, reaching that coveted number one spot. She did it again by snagging the first-ever Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration with her platinum single “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” with Gwen Stefani. With three more chart-topping albums, plus iconic moments in TV, film, and fashion, Eve’s looking back on her stellar career.
West Philly’s not for the faint-hearted, and Eve knows that better than anyone. She navigated those tough streets and the world stage with resilience and strength. Her ambition shines through in every bar she writes and every stage she owns. With a gritty authenticity, she shares her journey from the Mill Creek Projects to Hollywood.
In this memoir, Eve dives into her start as “Eve of Destruction” in a male-dominated industry, the untold story behind Scorpion, and her internal battles post-Lip Lock. This fearless, empowering memoir explores her rise to stardom, her lasting legacy, and the struggle to balance personal and professional life.
Who’s That Girl? is set to release on September 17 from Hanover Square Press, co-written with Kathy Landoli, a top-tier hip-hop journalist and author. This memoir won’t sugarcoat her journey from Philly to Hollywood. It’s all about her time as Ruff Ryders’ First Lady, her entry into hip-hop as “Eve of Destruction,” and behind-the-scenes stories with the biggest names in the biz. Expect untold tales from her albums, the battles leading up to Lip Lock, and her achievements in rap, fashion, film, and TV.
