5 Things You Did Not Know About Eve (unless you read her Wikipedia page)

1.
Her husband is Adam, from whose rib God created her to be his companion.

2. She succumbed to a serpent's temptation via the suggestion that to eat the forbidden fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, would improve on the way God had made her, and that she would not die, and she, believed the lie of the Serpent rather than the earlier instruction from God, shared the fruit with Adam.

3. As a result, the first humans were expelled from the Garden of Eden and cursed.

4. She went on to take an interest in music. Eve's first musical interest was singing. She sang in many choirs and even made an all-female singing group (Dope Girl Posse or D.G.P.) with a manager. This group covered songs from En Vogue and Color Me Badd. After the group's manager saw the rap group ABC, they suggested that the group should rap, and Eve stuck with it. She then went on to form a rapping group. After the group split, Eve began working on a solo career under the name "Eve of Destruction." She spent the better part of her days perfecting her craft,

5. Eve is featured (along with Erykah Badu) on the song "You Got Me" by The Roots, from their 1999 album Things Fall Apart. She also provided background vocals on the song "Ain't Sayin' Nothin' New" from the same album. In the album's liner notes, she is referred to as Eve of Destruction.
