Rapper Eve has shared a life-changing moment involving music legend Janet Jackson.
In her newly released memoir, Who’s That Girl?, Eve recalls a time when she was overcome with emotion, only to be saved by an act of kindness from Janet Jackson.
“Missy came in to check on me, but I was just unable to collect myself. Then who walks in, Janet Jackson? I had never met her before, and so her first introduction to me was seeing me hysterical,” Eve writes.
Despite never having met before, Janet’s response was immediate and empathetic. “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,” Eve continues, describing the unconventional remedy that brought her out of her emotional breakdown.
“That concoction knocked me right out of my hysteria. So basically, Janet Jackson saved my life,” Eve reveals, underscoring how that simple act of kindness had a profound impact on her.
Who’s That Girl?, which hit shelves last week, offers a candid glimpse into Eve’s life and career, with this touching story about Janet Jackson being one of the many powerful moments the rapper shares with her readers.
