Rapper/actress Eve has spoken out about her recent drunk-driving arrest, dismissing the incident as "one of those things". The 28-year-old was formally charged with driving under the influence (DUI) earlier this month, after crashing her gold Maserati into Hollywood Boulevard's central reservation. She was arrested on the scene and later released from custody after posting $30,000 bail.

But the star, real name Eve Jeffers, insists incidents like this are always magnified by the media, who prefer to focus on the "negative" aspects of her life instead of all her achievements.

She tells MTV, "Things happen and this is the nature of the business I'm in.

"I just feel blessed and happy that all the good things completely outweigh anything negative in my life."

Eve is due in court on May 17 to face the DUI charge and two other related offences.
