They sent me over the beat. They sent me over the roughs that they had done &#8230; In my head, I&#8217;m like, &#8216;I can&#8217;t believe this is happening,&#8217; and then once we got together, and started practicing the dance moves, and I heard the song, and we did the song together, I was like, &#8216;Actually, this is really cool. They did a great job.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;They were such good guys,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;At the end, we didn&#8217;t want to leave each other. [I said], &#8216;Oh my god. I&#8217;m gonna miss you guys!&#8217; They did such an amazing thing. And again, that&#8217;s another thing that, for me as an artist, to see my song live in a different way, different genre, different culture, it&#8217;s such a beautiful thing. I feel very, very honored and grateful for something like that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As shown in the episode, during rehearsals, Eve seemed a little nervous about the choreography for the performance. However, when the &#8220;Tambourine&#8221; rapper and JO1 hit the stage, you would never know Eve felt any anxiety about dancing. She and the boy band members killed it!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Oh my god. Oh girl, I was stressed,&#8221; she told <em>TooFab <\/em>with a laugh, before recalling how she felt during the performance.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"AppleTV+\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"825\" height=\"619\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/BydiGtCagk9Xmop6rU4ZWg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTcyMDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/toofab_735\/cbc9d906effe5d8ef53cc4f3997836b7\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>AppleTV+<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I will say, I&#8217;m very much the person &#8230; I always say I put my superhero on for stage,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;So Eve disappears in a way, and I&#8217;m just like, I&#8217;m on. I&#8217;m kind of like, &#8216;Whatever happens, happens.&#8217; &#8230; especially because I&#8217;m not a dancer naturally. So for me, I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Just go out there and vibe. If all else fails, vibe.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>The Talk<\/em> alum added that she and the boys&#8217; &#8220;first take&#8221; &#8212; which fans didn&#8217;t see &#8212; even went well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I think our first take, we actually, it was all good. There was no mistakes, there was nothing,&#8221; Eve said, again admitting that she was &#8220;definitely stressed,&#8221; before praising JO1. &#8220;The fact that they learned this stuff so quickly is insane.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>TooFab <\/em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/toofab.com\/2025\/08\/06\/jo1-kesha-eve-dream-collaborations\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:spoke;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong>spoke <\/strong><\/a>with JO1 at <em>KCON LA 2025\u00a0<\/em>earlier this month, and the boys gushed about working with Eve and Kesha, saying it was &#8220;like a dream&#8221; and an &#8220;unbelievable&#8221; collaboration. Eve reacted to the praise, telling <em>TooFab<\/em> in the new interview, &#8220;It&#8217;s so nice. I&#8217;m serious. It was such a great experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;They were honestly incredible, super sweet guys, and it was really nice to see, again, see my music through their eyes, but also see a K-pop band work as well,&#8221; she added. &#8220;It was great watching them work and watching how the fans looked at them, and it was such, honestly, one of the best collaborations ever. I had the best time. They&#8217;re great guys. I miss them. Tell them I miss them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, on the show, Eve and Kesha met for the first time, with the former sharing with <em>TooFab <\/em>that she&#8217;d love to work with the singer in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It was great meeting her,&#8221; Eve said. &#8220;I mean, I obviously know Kesha, known her, and her songs are incredible. Her style is great. &#8230; I mean, definitely yes, if it came down to it, yeah, we could definitely work together. But it was really nice just meeting her. Sometimes in this industry, you hear of a person and have seen their work from afar. So getting to know them up close is always great. And in a, I guess, an environment that is foreign to both of us, also. So it was cool.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Meanwhile, Eve went on to open up about her love of the K-pop genre as a whole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It&#8217;s so incredible. It&#8217;s perfection on steroids, I think. It&#8217;s just done in such a way that &#8230; it&#8217;s so glamorous,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It&#8217;s so glittery. I mean, it&#8217;s everything. It&#8217;s everything. And yeah, I&#8217;ve been into K-pop for a few years. And Seoul and Korea and just the whole culture. It&#8217;s a place that I&#8217;ve wanted to visit for a very, very long time. So, yeah, I was really excited to be a part of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When asked what she thinks it is about the K-pop genre that has made it such a global phenomenon, Eve said, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s basically what we know on our side of the world, but they just take it to another level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It&#8217;s crazy even when we were filming, the way that they film, it&#8217;s just it&#8217;s different than what we do,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Again, it&#8217;s this perfectionist thing that they are obsessed with, which makes it so tight, the dance moves are so tight. &#8230; They are so precise. I think it&#8217;s what we know, obviously it&#8217;s familiar to us because of pop music and things like that, but it&#8217;s just [on] another level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The &#8220;What You Want&#8221; rapper shared her thoughts on how K-pop features influences from hip hop &#8212; AKA her world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It makes me feel incredible &#8230; especially where I come from,&#8221; she told <em>TooFab<\/em>. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been in this business for a long time, but I sometimes look at myself as like, &#8216;God, I&#8217;m this girl from Philly, and my hip hop has <em>literally<\/em> taken me all over the world.&#8217; And the fact that it has influence other genres, other cultures. I always feel super, incredibly lucky, and proud. I think it&#8217;s a very cool thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Following her experience teaming with JO1 on <em>KPOPPED<\/em>, Eve said she ultimately walked away feeling inspired, sharing that she&#8217;d love to return to Seoul and collaborate with an artist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Honestly, I&#8217;d love to go back &#8230; I&#8217;ve been on this tour that I&#8217;ve been doing, and people have been asking me like, &#8216;Are you gonna do new music or anything?'&#8221; she told <em>TooFab<\/em>. &#8220;I would love to do another collaboration. I think it would be such a fun thing to do, but actually do it in Seoul, not here. I&#8217;d rather, I&#8217;d love to go there and actually work in the studio with a band or a singer or something like that. I think it&#8217;d be great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;And also, obviously, the face care, but I need to go back for some skincare,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As for which of her songs she&#8217;d like to remix after &#8220;Let Me Blow Ya Mind&#8221; got the K-pop treatment, <em>TooFab <\/em>suggested her hit &#8220;Tambourine,&#8221; which Eve agreed, &#8220;That would be a fun one for sure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I actually got a rough from a friend of mine who writes out there of &#8216;Who&#8217;s That Girl?&#8217; from a different band a while ago,&#8221; she revealed. &#8220;I mean, I&#8217;d be open. I&#8217;d be open because I&#8217;d love to hear what they do with whatever. I think it would be fun, any song that&#8217;s picked.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As a K-pop megafan now, Eve also weighed in on the phenomenon that is <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.toofab.com\/categories\/kpop-demon-hunters\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:KPop Demon Hunters;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><em><strong>KPop Demon Hunters<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, after the Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation fantasy musical has been breaking records on Netflix, at the box office, <em>and <\/em>on the Billboard charts. And not only did Eve reveal she loves the film, but so does her 3-year-old son, Wilde!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It&#8217;s really good. I&#8217;ve watched it three times because my son actually loves it. And he&#8217;s three!&#8221; Eve told <em>TooFab<\/em>. &#8220;Then, I was like, &#8216;Oh god, this is really good.&#8217; The songs are insane. The songs are so good. So I&#8217;m not surprised [of the film&#8217;s success].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>All eight episodes of KPOPPED are streaming now on Apple TV+<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.toofab.com\/photos\/2025\/08\/26\/venice-film-festival-2025-best-photos\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"TMZ\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"825\" height=\"550\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/zXUYCiNwOiA_9xG49VONwA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/toofab_735\/a1fa545c2b60941b3cae43bf06cfed6e\"\/><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Every Must-See Celeb Sighting at The 2025 Venice Film Festival &#8211; Click image to open gallery<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rapper reflects on her experience working with JO1 for the Apple TV+ series, meeting Kesha for the first time and weighs in on the &#8216;KPop Demon Hunters&#8217; phenomenon.
