Eve's "Tambourine" stopped shaking awhile ago when her album Here I Am was shelved indefinitely by Interscope. The Philly rapper confirmed a rift with her longtime recording home when she tweeted back in January that she had left the label.

Now, she's opening up about her reasons in an interview with Vibe. The former first lady of the Ruff Ryders alleged she didn't get the proper backing from Interscope for what would have been her next LP.

"They promised me the machine," she said. "The machine is basically the rollout. It's 'Yo, when ["Flirt"] comes out, we'll give you this, we'll give you that.' And that's what made me mad. It'd be different if we didn't have a meeting where people promised me sh--. If they were just like, 'Oh, we're going to put the album out and see what happens,' that would be one thing.

"But they were like, 'No, we're making sure this happens. It's coming out on this date,' " she continued. "It was concrete. But it's all good. Everything happens how it's supposed to, when it's supposed to."

For the stalled Here I Am, Eve recorded with Swizz Beatz, Sean Paul and Robin Thicke. Back in 2007, she gushed about working with the blue-eyed crooner.

"The Robin song is called 'Fantasy,' " she told MTV News. "My lyrics are basically talking about ladies — how when guys see you in a club but [aren't] ready to talk to you. Like a guy who sees you in a club and he wants to do all these things to you. ... You're his fantasy. It's real. A guy might be looking out from across the club like, 'Oh my God, I love her,' but you might not even know he's looking at you."

Currently, Eve is unsigned and at work on her next album.
