Celebrity rapped: Rapper Eve shows off her drink-driving bracelet

Rapper Eve is the latest celebrity to fall foul of drink-driving laws, and has to swap her bling for an less than glamorous alcohol monitoring bracelet.

Blonde Eve looked immaculate in a fitted white dress, and matching studded stilettos, but her high-fashion look was spoilt somewhat by the hefty ankle bracelet she has been ordered to wear following her conviction for drink-driving, after she crashed her Maserati in April.

The rapper, whose full name is Eve Jeffers, was ordered to spend 45 days with an alcohol-monitoring device on her ankle and attend a series of classes for first-time drunken-driving offenders.

Eve was also ordered to pay fines and stay sober, but spared jail time.

Although she's been wearing her alcohol monitoring device for a month, Eve said she can't get used to the bulky ankle bracelet.

She told People magazine: "It's the most annoying thing.

"When they told me I was getting it on, I thought it was going to be like a beeper, but it's like a pair of Bose headphones."

Rapper Eve admitted the hardest part of being convicted was coming clean to her mother

The 29-year-old rapper was ordered to wear the Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor (SCRAM) until September 8.

And she admitted the hardest part was telling her mother.

She said: "I'm still scared of her ... [I] had to tell her before someone else told her or she saw it or heard it.

"I definitely learned my lesson.

She said: "It was a stupid situation, stupid decision. I did something dumb and now I'm paying for it."
