Fresh off a second Grammy and with a landmark European tour on the horizon, Eve is building the blueprint for a full-scale comeback — with one of the most powerful agencies on the planet in her corner.
The First Lady is moving different in 2026.
United Talent Agency has signed acclaimed Grammy-winning rapper, songwriter, actress, and entrepreneur Eve for worldwide representation in all areas, the agency announced. UTA aims to secure opportunities for the multihyphenate star across music, film, television, and other ventures.
This is not a signing for the sake of a press release. This is infrastructure. At a moment when Eve is simultaneously launching a major European tour, celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of hip-hop’s most iconic albums, and banking a Grammy that was three decades overdue, locking in global representation with one of the Big Three agencies is the kind of business move that signals a serious, sustained push back to the center of the conversation.
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of her sophomore album Scorpion, Eve announced a 15-date headline tour across Europe and the U.K., launching in October. Tickets for the shows went on sale April 30 at 10 a.m. local time.
And there’s more. In February, she officially became a 2x Grammy winner, receiving a long-overdue award for her contribution to The Roots’ 1999 hit “You Got Me” at the 2026 Recording Academy Honors. That award had been withheld for years due to a technicality — a decades-long institutional oversight finally corrected. The Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective stepped in to make it right. For Eve, it wasn’t just a trophy. It was vindication.
Let’s be clear about the scope of what UTA is working with here. Eve’s profile is not simply that of a legacy rap act seeking a nostalgia wave. She has sold more than 10 million records worldwide across four studio albums and won two Grammys. Her screen work includes film and TV roles, and she co-hosted CBS daytime talk show The Talk, receiving two Daytime Emmy Award nominations. Add to that her recent appearance co-hosting the MOBO Awards in Manchester, and what UTA has on their roster is a multidimensional entertainer with live performance heat and cultural credibility that money cannot buy.
The tour itself is historic on its own terms. Remarkably, it’s Eve’s first time headlining a jaunt across the UK and EU, despite more than two decades as one of hip-hop’s most recognizable voices. The tour spans 15 dates, kicking off in Helsinki on October 9 before moving through Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, France, and the Netherlands before wrapping in Amsterdam on November 4, with her London date coming just before on November 2.
Scorpion, for those who need a reminder, is not merely a celebrated album — it is a historical document. Her hit single “Let Me Blow Ya Mind,” featuring Gwen Stefani, peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned the first-ever Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, marking a major milestone in hip-hop and pop music collaborations. The record reached platinum certification in the US and Canada, and gold in the UK and France, and has accumulated over one billion streams.
Eve’s own words on the tour reflect an artist who isn’t interested in looking backward for the sake of nostalgia — she’s going forward, using her catalog as a launchpad. “I’m so excited to go out on this tour to celebrate 25 years of Scorpion,” she said. “This album means so much to me and my career and I can’t wait to see all the fans and celebrate with you all. This will be a celebration of my career across all my albums musically.”
With full worldwide representation across every vertical — music, film, television, and beyond — the First Lady of Ruff Ryders is positioned for the kind of resurgence that the culture has been due to give her for years.
The machine is officially in motion. Watch this space.
