       *The New York Daily News is reporting that rap star Eve’s new man is the 35-year-old son of Equatorial Guinea dictator Teodoro Obiang Nguema.      

       According to the paper, Teodorin Nguema Obiang spent close to $700,000 to rent Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen's 303-foot yacht, Tatoosh, and took the UPN star as his date. A guest on the boat docked in St. Barts told the Daily News: "They looked very affectionate. They were dancing all night."       

       Now for the bad news. Obiang’s father, who has led the West African country since 1979, has been accused by Amnesty International of torturing and unjustly imprisoning political opponents. He also ranked No. 10 this year on Parade magazine's annual list of the top 10 dictators.       

       Critics also say the Obiang family has profited from oil, while the average citizen in the country lives in abject poverty on $1 a day. A 2004 U.S. Senate report found that Washington's Riggs Bank allowed Obiang and his associates to move millions out of government accounts into personal ones, reports the Daily News.       

       The American-educated Teodorin holds the position of minister of state for forestry, environment and housing in his country, but reportedly spends most of the time at his mansions in Cape Town, London, Paris and Los Angeles. He also owns TNO Records, which, to date, hasn't produced many records, according to the Daily News. Last year, he reportedly spent $1.5 million on two Bentleys and a Lamborghini Murcielago. His own father has described him as "sometimes impulsive."       

       Teodorin has reportedly been trying to holler at Eve since meeting her two years ago. A friend of the 27-year-old rapper told the Daily News: "He's been after her for a long time. She finally gave in. Since then, it's been off and on. She knows what he's about. But she forgets."
