I guess this confirms the videos and pics that were released of Eve doing her stripper thing. Eve has revealed that a past encounter with Mase inspired her to quit stripping and become a rapper in the 1990’s. Eve explained her conversation with the former Bad Boy artist in an upcoming episode of VH1’s “Behind the Music” series this week.

“He came into the club and looked at me and literally was like, ‘What’s your name?’ And I gave him every stripper name under the sun!,” she reveals. “I was like, ‘I’m Ginger, I’m Sassy!’ He was like, ‘Why don’t you go get dressed, let’s go just talk.’ And we did, we talked throughout the night. He was like, ‘You’re really talented. What are you doing? You know you’re not supposed to be here. You know it.’ … It was a confirmation for me that all these thoughts, all this sadness. All these times that I wake up in the morning, I’m like, ‘Why do I feel like this?’ And I know I’m not supposed to be there. It just woke me up.”

Eve reportedly stripped in the Bronx, New York before being signed.
