Eve has said being arrested for a DUI ultimately helped her.
The 46-year-old Tambourine singer hit the headlines in 2007 when she was arrested and charged with drink-driving after crashing her Maserati in Los Angeles.
However, the chart-topping star - who's full name is Eve Jihan Cooper - has reflected on her past difficulties and has hinted that she credits her arrest for helping her turn her life around.
Opening up on Paloma Faith's Mad, Sad & Bad podcast, the Let Me Blow Ya Mind rapper said, "I had to wear a tag.
"It monitors your body temperature and it can tell from your sweat if you've had alcohol. The anklet made me sane again because I couldn't remember a time I hadn't drank."
Reflecting on the state of her life at the time of her arrest almost 20 years ago, she said, "I got into the car accident because I was drinking. But I was also taking Xanax on top of the drinking.
"I was trying to be numb. I was also trying to get skinny for videos. So when I got my DUI, I wasn't that drunk, I was on diet pills."
Explaining that her legal woes ultimately aided her in making changes to her life, the singer - who has been married to Gumball 3000 founder Maximillion Cooper since 2014 - added, "It was such a bad time and that's why I said that little anklet definitely helped me."
