Only two months after giving birth to her third child by rapper Jay Electronica, Badu showed up and showed out at the Jazz in the Gardens fest in Miami this past weekend.....she doesn't even look like she gave birth.......but, I can't wait to check her out at the New Orleans Jazz Fest in April...btw which is my birthday month...April 10th to be exact...sooooo i better be getting gifts!
Erykah Badu is the poster girl for Tom Fords new fragrance "White Patchouli", this story broke back in February (I wasn't blogging then) but they weren't sure about the name of the fragrance, which I just stated earlier that it's called White Patchouli & I see why they chose her as the poster girl for it, because Patchouli (oil) was popular in the 60's & 70's and was mostly used by the free spirits & hippies some also use it to keep their dreads conditioned..others say it's used as an insect repellent....but at any rate, Badu looks great in the picture (i'm a sucker for black & white photos) I thought it was Eva Marcille (Pigford) at first.
Okay, I was kind of skeptical about posting this story because I saw it on MTO & we ALL know how their stories are majorly FALSIFIED, but then this morning I was replying to some of the forums on the erykah-badu.com message boards & came across a forum titled "Erykah rips okp for insults & rudeness"....the back story, there were a LOT of negative forums going around on the okp forum about Badu having 3 children by 3 different men.
me personally I don't think it's any of their business who this lady chooses to father her kids as long as she's taking care of them & the fathers are taking care of them 2, Like she's no different than one of their cousins doing the same thing, but she don't have them on child support & the kids are not taken care of by the system, so I think as long as she's providing for her children FINANCIALLY they have NO right whatsoever to talk. I loved her response & I think it was even funny on certain levels. It's a long reply so I don't want to post it here so if you want to read it,CHECK IT OUT HERE.
Spotted at the the YBF, Erykah Badu is expecting her third child, this-time-around with producer Jay Electronica (who shared the cover of Urb with her earlier this year). I wonder what she will name this one, either way the baby will join son Seven Sirius (Andre' 3000), and daughter Puma Rose (The D.O.C.).
I love Erykah for the simple fact she keeps it real & she keeps it in the art family with her romances, and you can’t say these children won’t grow up to be some of the most artistic, knowledgeable (on a whole 'nother lever) kids around.
Now yall be the judge this is a video from her concert when I went back in May, May 28th to be exact & she didn't look pregnant here.......
but if she is, hopefully she'll revert back to Baduizm & give us a Live album of the whole New Amerykah 4th World War..that would SERIOUSLY be the dopest EVER!
