Suge Knight reflected on his past with Eve.
In a chat on The Art of Dialogue, the jailed music executive revisited his long-running feud with Dr. Dre and addressed the gossip about dating Eve.
“I still got a love for Eve today,” Knight said. “I like gangsta bitches. I like bitches that about their money, about their life, to fight for what they want.”
Suge then turned his attention to Dre. “All Eve had to do is nod her motherfucking head and I would’ve broke Andre’s motherfucking jaw.”
Knight’s comments were in response to Eve’s 2024 memoir Who’s That Girl?, where she claimed she got revenge on Dr. Dre for dropping her from Aftermath Records by dating Knight. Though Suge neither confirmed nor denied the story, he did call Eve his “home girl” during his Art of Dialogue interview.
“Eve is a survivor,” Knight said. “I think Eve’s platform and Interscope [Records] were smaller than her. She was way ahead of her time, and with her lyrics and her clear vision of what she wanted to do, jealousy probably played a part in it. That’s likely what happened.”
Eve signed with Aftermath at just 17 but was dropped not long after. She later joined Ruff Ryders and Interscope, where she went on to release her debut album Let There Be Eve…Ruff Ryders’ First Lady.
