In an interview with MTV, Eve revealed the extent of the complicated working relationship between she and legendary producer Dr. Dre. Starting her career under Dre’s tutelage and also working with the producer several times after she became a superstar, Eve says that they were both too strong-willed to remain effective collaborators.
“Aftermath was my first home, with Dr. Dre,” Eve reminded viewers when she appeared on Wednesday’s “RapFix Live.” “But me and Dre just couldn’t get along. … I’m a strong chick and I don’t like being told what to do. I don’t care if you’re the best at what you do. Dre just knows how to push your buttons, but I just have to say every time he pushed my buttons, he got the best out of me. So he knew what he was doin’.”
“I can’t remember exactly what record, but he made me say one word over, like 45 times. I swear to God; I’m not lying,” she said. “He wouldn’t let me out of the studio. I kicked the mic down and threw a bottle at the glass, and after I did all that, I said it the right way and he let me out.”
