Busta Rhymes First Wife

Evelyn Lozada, later known as Eve, may be the most famous of Busta Rhymes' spouses, but the rapper's first wife, Hila Harell, played a pivotal role in shaping his evolution as an artist and a person. Born as Carolyn Hailaima Harell in 1966, Hila is not often discussed in most profiles and interviews about Busta Rhymes' personal life. Yet, she had been married to the rapper since 1994 and had a profound impact on his career, mothering two of his children, and helping him find his musical footing before their eventual separation in 1998.
