Eve recently appeared as a guest
on the BBC Radio 1xtra Tim Westwood show and was inevitably asked about
the ongoing feud between Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj. She called on Kim to
put an end to the battles advising her fellow rap veteran to focus on
her own success.
“I need her to stop," Eve said. "If I was Kim's friend, I'd be like, yo. ‘cause she's Kim, period. So she never has to feed [into the beef]. She shouldn't. It's bad. It's not a good look. If I was her friend, I'd tell her, yo, just come back bigger and better. The best way to get at people is to do you better than you've ever done you. So that's it.”
In the meantime, Eve's setting her own comeback in motion with a fourth album titled Lip Lock that's set to come out later this year, her first in nine years. During the interview, the Philadelphia rapper also mentioned how important it is to get more women into the game and then support one another once they make it in.
"You know, it's definitely a nice group of females that's out representing, but because I come from hip-hop, I need more females in hip-hop," she said. "Nicki definitely is holding the flag down, and a lot of people be wanting me to hate just because that's how girls supposed to do in hip-hop, but I'm loving everything she does. But we need more females, man. There's too much testosterone in the hip-hop game."
Eve appeared on the show during a break before she and rapper Bun B head to the Gumball 3000 rally which will take them from London to Instanbul, Turkey in eight days.
