Eve signs with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), an agency filled with agents that represents sports, musicians, actors etc.  Some of their agents represent Lebron James and Will Smith.  CAA will represent Eve in all aspects of her career, acting and music.  She has recently acted on shows Glee, Third Watch and Numbers.  Eve’s long awaited 4th album is due out later this year.

We’ve talked about Luda’s upcoming album Battle of the Sexes before.  As the album comes along he’s trying to recruit some other artists for his upcoming project.  So far sounds like it’s going to bang.  So far he has Nicki Manaj, Lil Kim, Eve and Trina.  But as he tried to enlist Lauryn Hill to make an appearance, she said no.  Luda sounds disappointed as he tells the associated press, “I think Lauryn Hill is like extremely talented and I can say I did try to do that , it just didn’t work itself out.”  Lauryn Hill hasn’t recorded since the 1998 Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.  Oh well I guess she’s just too busy doing other things.

All you people that claim to be gangsta need to take a lesson from Eve.  Eve has an off and on man named Teodoro Nguema.  He is the son of Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the president of Equatorial Guinea who is being investigated for laundering money between several US banks.  ABC News says that Eve’s name is mentioned in the investigation which has been going on for the past three years.  Has me wondering if this is drug money that’s being laundered, most likely is. Nguema has been known for setting up front companies through lawyers, friends and Eve.  He then wires cash to himself to live his lavish lifestyle, he purchased a mansion in Malibu California in cash.  Eve has been named president of Sweet Pink Inc, that used employees to work at Nguema’s ranch, Sweet Pink Inc was set up in 2005.  Sounds like a lot of trouble coming up for Eve, probably something she could’ve avoided, but we’ll see what’s good, she may not get into too much trouble.  I just wish she would’ve gotten in the news for a new album or something to show these rookie female rappers how it’s done.
