Eve’s Surprising Tactic to Earn Extra Tips While Stripping: Rapping!

Eve’s Unconventional Strip Club Tactic: Rapping for Tips

Before Eve became a famous rapper, she had a short-lived stint as an exotic dancer. However, even during her time at the strip club, she relied on her rhyming abilities to earn extra tips.

During a recent interview on Sway’s Universe to promote her new book Who’s That Girl?, Eve shared a hilarious story about her time as a stripper. She revealed that she only worked in the profession for two months and spent more time rapping than dancing.

“I was still so focused on rapping. I would get tipped for rapping,” Eve said. “Guys would ask for a lap dance, and I would offer to rap for them instead. If they thought I was wack, I promised them a free lap dance. And most of the time, I wasn’t!”

Surprisingly, Eve’s tactic worked, and she received tips for her rapping skills. She recalled how guys in the strip club would be amazed by her unconventional approach.

In addition to her new book, Eve is also embarking on a new journey as the 2024-25 Scholar-in-Residence at NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. She will be sharing her expertise as an award-winning artist and philanthropist with the students and faculty.

Eve expressed her excitement about the residency on social media, stating that she looks forward to sharing her experiences and getting to know the NYU community. The year-long residency will kick off on September 21 with a welcoming event at NYU, where Eve will engage in discussions about her career and the music industry.
