Eve Doesn't Like Nicki Minaj's Paper Magazine Cover: 'It's Not Right'

On Wednesday (Nov. 15), Eve made her debut as the new co-host of The Talk. Unfortunately, she's now facing backlash for comments that she made on the show in regards to Nicki Minaj's raunchy Paper magazine cover. 

As we all know by now, Minaj really did break the internet when her cover art for the publication was revealed. It shows the rapper engaging in a threesome with three different versions of herself in three different crazy positions. But, rap legend Eve is not a fan of it. 

“She’s a nice person. She’s an amazing rapper and as a lyricist, I respect her,” Eve said about the cover shoot. “But as a woman, I personally would not be able to do that. In this climate, I think it’s not good.” 

The Philly MC continued: “I’d just rather be a voice for those girls who have no voice in a different way — without showing myself off. I just don’t think it’s right.”

When Minaj's Barbz and Kens started coming for Eve, she elaborated on social media. She tweeted: "A lot of ya’ll need to calm down AND LISTEN to what I said. I am speaking from the place I am TODAY as WOMAN and how I feel NOW!!!" See that message below.
