Yesterday, Eve sat down with blogger/journalist Clay Cane to discuss rumors of her sexuality, interracial dating, her recent arrest and her take on Barack vs. Hillary. I'll forgive Cane for not knowing that Paula Patton is black, because he really got Eve to open up.
To give you a short summary, she brushes lesbian rumors off but has nothing but love for her gay and lesbian fans. A gay man will never succeed in hip hop. She is an Obama fan, but because of his humanity, not his race. Don Imus doesn't ride around listening to Snoop, so he shouldn't point a finger at hip hop. If women don't like being objectified in hip hop videos, then women should stop appearing in them. Maya Angelou is making her rethink the n-word. Sean Penn is a good, platonic friend of hers. Finally, despite Eve's recent DUI arrest, Paris Hilton's jail sentence doesn't scare her because Paris Hilton "did something wrong."
I find all of this interesting and valid except for her last point, which is kind of wrought with denial, don't you think?
