WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Stevie J Says He “Created” Eve — And the Internet Says: Boy, Be Serious In the latest case of “men saying the wildest things unprovoked,” music producer and reality TV mess magnet Stevie J is dragging his ex, Eve, into the spotlight — 25 years after their relationship ended. And for what? Clout? Chaos? Confusion? Probably all three. During a recent interview with Vlad TV (because of course it was Vlad), Stevie J decided to open up about his long-ago romance with the Philly rap queen and Ruff Ryders legend — and baby, he did not keep it cute. According to Stevie, not only did he date Eve back in the day (true), but he now claims he “created” her. Yes, you read that right. The man who brought you “Love & Hip Hop: Emotional Distress Edition” says he’s the reason Eve became who she is. Oh — and just to really lean into the petty — he claimed that when they met, she “didn’t even know how to wash properly.” Sir… what?? Eve, for those who need the reminder, has been minding her business for the past decade. She left the hip-hop scene behind to focus on new ventures — becoming a fashion icon, TV host, and now a full-time wife and mom to a beautiful baby boy. She’s married to Maximillion Cooper, a successful British entrepreneur, and living a peaceful, soft-life dream far, far away from this kind of mess. Which makes Stevie’s comments even more baffling. Why now? Why this? Why go from “legendary producer” to bitter ex throwing dirt from two decades ago? Let’s be clear: Eve didn’t ride Stevie’s coattails — if anything, she shook him off and built her own empire. From platinum albums to Emmy-winning talk show hosting, Eve has consistently stayed booked, relevant, and respected. Meanwhile, Stevie J has mostly been known in recent years for love triangles, child support drama, and random beefs that no one really asked for. And that’s the thing — this kind of revisionist history is not just shady, it’s tired. When men try to take credit for a woman’s success post-breakup, it reeks of insecurity. Helping someone at the beginning of their journey is one thing. Acting like you invented them? Whole different story. Twitter, naturally, did not let Stevie live. Within minutes, timelines were flooded with Eve appreciation posts, side-eyes, and the universal Black woman response to nonsense: “The AUDACITY.”
If Stevie thought this would earn him points or relevance, he miscalculated. Because what we’re not going to do is sit here and let anyone rewrite Eve’s story as anything less than what it is: legendary. So here’s your gentle reminder, ladies: you can glow all the way up, move on, build an amazing life — and still have some ex out there talking mess like it’s 1999. Stay unbothered. Stay moisturized. And in the words of Queen Eve herself: “Love is blind, and it will take over your mind.” Amen.
