News summary

In her upcoming memoir, 'Who’s That Girl?', rapper Eve reflects on her early career challenges, particularly a cautionary phone call from Jay-Z on the day her debut album, 'Let There Be Eve…Ruff Ryders’ First Lady', was released in 1999. He congratulated her but warned her not to get her hopes up, stating that 'female rappers don’t really do that well'. Despite this, Eve's album sold 213,000 copies in its first week and achieved double platinum status, highlighting her resilience in a male-dominated industry. Additionally, Eve has been announced as the 2024-25 Scholar-in-Residence at NYU's Steinhardt School, where she will share her experiences and insights with students. Her journey emphasizes the ongoing struggles and successes of women in hip-hop. This memoir release coincides with current debates in the industry regarding female representation, as seen in recent comments from Nicki Minaj regarding the Super Bowl halftime show lineup.
