Early Life

Eve Jihan Cooper (née Jeffers) was born in November of 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to parents Jerry and Julia Wilch-Jeffers. Her father worked as a chemical plant supervisor, while her mother was a publishing company supervisor.

She has a brother by the name of Farrod, who is her only sibling. The family lived in West Philly until Eve was 13 years old. They then relocated to the neighborhood of Germantown in the northwest portion of the city.

The rapper attended and graduated from Martin Luther King High School. Immediately following school, she began stripping until rapper Mase convinced her to begin making music.

Her first introduction to music was in the form of singing. In fact, she even sang in choirs and formed an all-female singing group called Dope Girl Posse or EDGP. After they split up, she ventured solo under the name Eve of Destruction.
