Trivia

  • Despite being on the song and video together Eve and Janet Jackson never met until Eve revealed on The Talk (which Eve co-hosts) that she met Jackson for the first time at an after party early in her career where Jackson not only consoled her after someone spiked her drink but also (most likely) had her security team get the person in trouble for spiking Eve's drink.[2]
