Eve Celebrates Receiving Grammy for Her Uncredited 'You Got Me' Verse, 27 Years Later: 'What Is Yours Never Can Miss You'

Eve was finally credited with a Grammy for the uncredited verse on 'You Got Me' at the 2026 Grammys.
The Recording Academy said it was time to right a historic miscredit affecting Eve and the track’s recognition.
Questlove explained the credits were mishandled during a two-studio recording and late mixing.
Eve described herself as a Philly-based rapper who hoped to break into the business long before the track's success.
The Roots and Erykah Badu were originally credited with the Grammy, while Eve did not receive one at the time.
Eve and Questlove discussed the corrected credit in a 2024 podcast episode prior to the ceremony.
Eve thanked the room full of greats, peers, and inspirations during her Grammy moment.
The 2026 Grammys marked the long-awaited acknowledgment for Eve decades after the track’s release.
The ceremony took place at the Fairmont Century Plaza in January 2026.
Eve says the recognition is a personal milestone and a chance to honor her past work.
