Baduizms: Her Royal “Queendom”???
Posted by Bossip Staff
Peep Erykah Badu in the newest cover of Veg News magazine. Also in the realm of Baduizms, Erykah blasts “haters” for criticizing her 3rd pregnancy by yet another dude:
“How dare you disrespect the queendom … and my children and my intelligence. I’ve never been so disgusted in all of my life,” the singer began in her rant.
“I am a great mother and caregiver to my two children, and to this world,” Badu wrote. “My children are two of the kindest and happiest people I have met … I am their doctor and their nurse, and even sometimes their mother and their father. I am an excellent mother and resent all of the negative comments and insults on my character.”
“I put much time and though into having and raising my children. I’ve had the honors of having two home births and two wonderful partners by my side. Every relationship I have been in was because i loved the person dearly and was dedicated to us ‘exclusively’ for a number of years. The fathers of my children are my brothers and friends. We have a great deal of respect for one another and always will. We love out children to no end. We took our own ‘vows’ and continue to uphold them, and that is what that is. Question? What is marriage? Who is the judge? … Would it ‘look better’ to marry and divorce and marry again?”
She did admit that she may lose a few fans, but didn’t care, refusing to bite her tongue. “If I lose you as a fan because I want to continue to have children, then f*** off … who needs you … certainly not me … kick rocks … call Tyrone … pack light … bite me,” Badu wrote.
At the end, she signs off with a big “kiss my placenta.”
For someone who dances to the beat of her own drummer, she’s taking folks’ opinions rather personal. Having 3 kids by 3 different cats can’t help but to raise an eyebrow or two. SMH.

Nice pic EB!!!
first
I LOVE THE PIC~!!!!
Why do I have a feeling this post MIGHT end up in the psychiatric ward of thoughts and postings?
She is sexy.I have searched her photo on ” C a s u a l S e e k . C o m ” which is a casual encounter dating site. It is said that she is seeking one night relationship . Is it true?
I guess because the majority of them do…..
I LIKE HER BUT THATS TOO MANY BABY DADDY’S
I KNOW THATS RIGHT MS. BADU!!!! DO YOU MAMA!!!!!
I don’t care what the broad wants to say. It is tacky to have three kids by three different men. And as a black woman, she is really feeding into the stereotype of this “baby mamma” garbage. Stick with one man erica.
She has three kids already?!?
NO, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE MOST WONDERFUL IDEA TO HAVE CHILDREN BY MULTIPLE FATHERS/OUTSIDE OF WEDLOCK. BUT THOSE ARE MY BELIEFS, AND YOU CANNOT FORCE THOSE ON OTHERS. HOWEVER, WHAT SHE DOES WITH HER PERSONAL LIFE IS ABSOLUTELY NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. DOES THAT CHANGE THE WAY YOU FELT ABOUT HER AS A FAN WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD HER ART? JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A FAN, YOU CANNOT DICTATE TO HER WHAT SHE SHOULD DO WITH HER LIFE AS FAR AS REPRODUCING IS CONCERNED. WHAT IF SHE WOULD HAVE ALREADY HAD THE CHILDREN BY THE TIME SHE BECAME AN ARTIST? WOULD THERE BE SO MUCH MOUTH ABOUT IT THEN? IT IS BECAUSE SHE IS FAMOUS, AND WE ONLOOKERS LOVE TO VICARIOUSLY LIVE OUR LIVES THRU OTHERS, AND BELIEVE THAT OUR OPINIONS SHOULD MAKE OR BREAK THE ARTIST. LOL..SOME FOLKS JUST NEED TO STAY IN THEIR LANE. AND NEVER MIND ERYKAH HAVING 50 ELEVEN CHILLINS’, AT LEAST SHE CAN TAKE CARE OF HERS. WHAT ABOUT THESE JOKERS RUNNING AROUND POPPING UP PREGGERS ERR FIVE MINUTES, DONT GOT A JOB, DONT WANT ONE, AND MY TAXES ARE PAYING FOR THEIR LITTLE OFFSPRING? LETS GET PISSED ABOUT THAT!
Erykah can rant and rave all she wants. It’s still tacky and wrong to raise kids PURPOSELY without the benefit of a father. Marry and divorce again? Why can’t she just stay married? Is she trying to re-populate the earth on her own? No “queen” would behave like that.
What can you say it is her choice. She is grown and taken care of her kids.
If that woman wants to have 3 kids with 3 different men, that’s HER BUSINESS! Please, like non black woman don’t do the same thing! At leats she TAKES CARE of her children unlike some women and men who have children by the same mate and can’t properly raise them. Please, many of us (not all) have half siblings. Christie Brinly, all 3 of her children have different dads, is it any different and now she’s had her 3rd divorce on nasty terms and broadcast to the entire worl. At least Ms. Badu has a positive relationship with the fathers of her kids. Do you BADU!
Ms. Badu is pissed off right now. I think as fans we shouldnt judge people. Sometimes people love hard and babies in up coming from that. I feel like as long as she is not neglecting those kids and their fathers are in their lives then its her business.
Me personally, I dont think I could do something like that just on the strength of I want a husband and I would like it if all my kids were by him, but sometimes life doesnt roll like that.
By the way she looks fierce in the pics. D-Town stand up. Shout out to anybody here from Dallas. I’m straight from the PG. I cant hate on her anyways!!! She fam!!!
@ sxyQblondie… I KNOW THATS RIGHT!!!
Yeah, she will be able to take care of her children, but if she is pregnant now, wouldn’t that make 3 different baby daddies. Come on now.
K last comment for the summer.
this lady is a Pop. she know it you know it. Is she a superwomen? is she built to be in the Alicia Keys video? Puffing all dat lye. wait is Alicia a superwomen breaking up families… ooops let me say this on an end note OBAMA don’t let “coke head coo coo bush” surpress the election of 2008. easy
And im sayin… Was she supossed to stay with her first baby’s father just because they had a child… <bHELL NO!!!! Maybe when she is with these men she feels like they are THE ONE, but shit changes in relationships.. Shit can go sour quick like and there aint nothing left to do but move the fuck on…
She is here for only one reason for us((as fans)) and thats to entertain.. Her personal life is NOT our business.. Nor should we take the place of God and try to judge the next person… You never know where you’ll end up in life.. That could be you, with three different baby mamas/baby daddys, and you wouldnt want people talking shit about you..
just pray for her dont put her down,dont judge her
Erykah Badu, you are my new best friend!! Keep speaking your mind girl, and keep telling it like it is.
ALL MY EX-fans can kiss my luscious light skin ass.
I LOVE LIGHT BUTT!!! WHOOOO!!!
I will always have love for Erykah Badu’s Music and what she does with her womb and uterus is strictly her perogative.
Thank you WHOA!!!! It is her business what she wants to do…..if she has a good co-parent relationship with the fathers of her children, then what of it? At least she’s not out here BASHING the Black men in her life, like so many of us do!!! And she got enough dough to take care of them, she seems to be raising her children right with their fathers in their lives so that’s what matters.
We seem to always want to assign to some European notion of commitment and family without realizing that that way may not be for us. We also seen to think that the way we live our lives is the way EVERYBODY needs to lead their lives. If this works for her and her children grow up to be healthy, well adjusted young adults, with two (or more) parents in their lives who love them, then what’s the big deal?
Love her music, but her outlook on life is a bit confusing. She’s blessed to be financially capable of taking care of her children, if the “daddies” weren’t able to do so. That does not always stand true for the average (or living below average) female in today’s society. Their children sometimes become the burden of the taxpayer who contributes to the welfare system in order to take care of these children. In the end, it is her business, as long as they stay her business, and not the business of us taxpayers…
I read this and it much longer than whats above. She got in some people’s as*ess and as well as she could because I hate when people try to judge people. Shes about to have three kids that arent that close in age for people to put the “Whore” her. Now if her kids were 4,3,2,1 in ages & if she did then I dont get why that would be an issue for us to discuss. What is more under-lining is the sexism that is displayed in the industry and in this country. Do your research on how many R&B cats and rap cats have multiple baby mommas? So you mean to tell me if you have a 10 year old and a 5 year old and now you’re pregnant again, you’re guilty of having three serious relationships in 10yrs??? Please..
Oh yeah, I just wanted to say to all those people judging her look at it like this.
My mother has 3 different kids by three different daddies, but she wasnt a whore. She was married to my father, they stayed together 10 yrs. They got divorced, she met my middle brother’s dad and stayed with him for 3 years. That didnt work cause the nigga was crazy. Then she met my step father who she was with for damn near 15 years and my little brother came from that. That’s certainly not whoring. Lie sometimes isnt just cookie cutter.
How many of you on here have different baby daddies?
@SWEET CHEEKS
GIRL, FOLKS ARE OUT OF CONTROL! LIKE THEY DONT KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE MORE THAN ONE CHILD BY DIFFERENT FATHERS, OR LIKE HALF OF HER FANS DONT FALL VICTIM TO THE SAME SITUATION. IF IT BOTHERS YOU THAT BAD, DONT BUY HER MUSIC. SIMPLE AS THAT. BUT ITS NOT GONNA STOP HER TALENT FROM BEING EXCELLENT. IM LIKE SHOOT, AT LEAST SHE’S EMPLOYED DAMMIT!!(LOL) AND MAKING MORE MONEY THAN THOSE OF US WHO FIND TIME TO POST ON BOSSIP ALL DAY. BOTTOM LINE, MY STATE TAXES DONT HAVE TO FEED HER CHILDREN. SHE’S GOT IT ALL UNDER CONTROL!(lmao)
Come on kids let me hear you count with me.
One, One…
Two, Two…
Three, Three…
That’s right three baby daddy’s.
On the next episode we will learn to count to four.
Here’s a list of your spelling words and phrases for next weeks test.
Child Support
Shack-in Up
Common Law
Role Model
Skank
Booty Call
Jump Off
Oops
Christy Brinkley…..Madonna……Ingrid Bergman (feel free to add the others as they come to mind) and a VARIETY of other white women have done the same if not worse! It is what it is - her kids arent living off the system - who cares!
Who is her second child by? I know the first one is by Andre 3000. Who is this third one by?
Andre 3000?
shes not the first sista to have multiple baby daddies…at least it’s only three..and she know’s who they are…same for the men…dont trip…some of your favorite stars and sports figures have way more kids than that by different women….dont they evander…..
All im saying is just because you find a new relationship with a man does not mean you have to have a baby with every new person you meet. I meet new men everyday and have had several relationships and i dont have a baby with every new man i am in a relationship with. sorry ladies there is no justification behind that. its tacky. stop having babies by every man thinking that will keep him around, cuz thats the real story. it might not be erykah’s but its the story for a lot of other chicks.
I like Erykah…but why does she have to be so extreme…is it really necessary to always look a damn mess?
I like erykah but, It’s not o.k to have any kids out of wedlock there is no way anyone can justify that. Marriage is not always the key but don’t knock it after all, isn’t that’s god will? so please don’t trivilize this. I for one have one child out of wedlock and yes, I know that is wrong there is nothing wright about it. All i’m saying is yes it’s her life and let god be the judge.
Won’t, can’t, will not get too personal here.
Maybe she has one big happy family umbrella like an Octavia Butler novel.
All I wish is for these children to have loving relationships with their fathers and eachother.
When a person decides on their family make up the most important thing is the love and welfare of the offsprings.
I hope they feel loved, nutured and protected and have a loving sense of themselves.
That’s all one can ask for. And I wish that for all children and families.
peace
It is what it is and it is just a shame that she feels that it is ok to have 3 babbies by 3 different men. While I liked her music at first with her first album her musical style is now a little to strange for me and so is her lifestyle but hey that is just my opinion and she can do her all she wants.
I agree, all the extremism is not neccessary. I would not have three children with three different men, but if she can take care of them and deal with it then by all means, more power to her. I know people who have children with multiple partners and I don’t look down on them, I just know I would not do it.
SEE HERE IS THE PISSER OFFER IN A YEAR FOR ME.(yes, im going off..lmfao) FROM JANUARY THRU DECEMBER, UNCLE SAM TAKES BETWEEN 22-25 PERCENT OF MY INCOME, AND THROWS IT INTO TAXES. NOW I DONT HAVE ANY CHILDREN. SO IM GETTING BENT OVER ROYALLY. THEN BY THE FOLLOWING JANUARY, WHEN I GATHER UP MY W-2′S AND SHUFFLE ON DOWN TO THE TAX PREPARATION PLACE, LET LITTLE SUSIE COMPUTE MY RETURNS, IM SITTING THERE WITH THE STUCK LOOK BECAUSE IM NOT GETTING BACK 1/2 OF WHAT WAS PUT IN. MEAN WHILE, SHORTY BESIDE ME IS BANKING BECAUSE SHE’S GOT LIKE 4 KIDS, IRONICALLY SHE’S REALLY ONLY WORKING PARTIME TO KEEP “THEM FOLKS” OFF HER BACK, AND THE OTHER 2, SHE’S PASSED OFF ONTO HER HOMEGIRL THATS SITTING BESIDE HER TO CLAIM FOR THE YEAR. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE FAMILIES THAT RECIEVE THE ASSISTANCE AND THEY ARE REALLY STRUGGLING, AND ONLY NEED IT TO GET BACK ON THEIR FEET. BUT YOU GOT 3 , AND YOU DONT WANT TO DO BETTER, AND EVERY YEAR IM BUSTING MY BUTT TO PAY FOR IT?? WHY ARENT YOU FOLKS POINTING THE FINGER AT JOKERS LIKE THAT!!??
This does not make her a Whore…It makes her Human. Badu keep doing you and countinue to bring beautiful babies into this world.
@sxyQblondie-Good morning girl.
I don’t knock anyone who loves theirs kids and tries to make a good life for them. Life does not always work in a cookie cutter fashion. I don’t agree with staying in an unhappy relationship just to keep making babies with the same person you don’t want to be with. That will create unhappy bitter kids. I would love to have my kids with one man so they can all look alike and identify with eachother more and I hope destiny works out in my favor but if it doesn’t that won’t be the end of the world either. Don’t judge so quickly.
@Nairobi,
“We seem to always want to assign to some European notion of commitment and family without realizing that that way may not be for us.”
What kind of bull shit is this? You think women in any other part of the world is making babies like that? You need to get a passport dummy.
And it having two commited parents arent for Black people what is? I mean look at the black community and give me a list on how our arrangement has worked for us, our young boys, our young girls?
@TEEDY, GOOD MORNING MAMA! HOWS EVERYTHING GOING TODAY?
@WyzePro,
“shes not the first sista to have multiple baby daddies…at least it’s only three..and she know’s who they are…”
As a black woman, I thank you for lowing the bar for me. god knows I cant do better.
@ sxyQblondie
I’m feeling you big time! Unc takes 48% of my stacks.
Although I must say I was getting turned on my part of your story. :-)~
@sxyQblondie- I feel you!!!!!! I don’t have kids either but you better believe I find one or two to adopt around tax season. LOL. Yes it’s dishonest but that’s the way the system is set up. Screw or get screwed.
She has always been eccentric, and into HER way of doing things. She’s obviously not the type of woman to feed into stereotypes of ANY nature! I wish more woman had the personal strength to be happy with themselves the way Miss Badu has “always” portrayed herself! Live your own life, enjoy what YOU do! and most of all “fu*k off”! I hear that Badu! I only have one child, but hey she has the money and the beautiful nature and ability to take care of these children. So I don’t think she can be put on the same level of the average broad. Shes NOT the average Broad, like it or not!Or call her an average broad with cash thats makes a bit of a diff!
I agree w/sxyQblondie, you cannot push off your beliefs on others and what people need to understand is that sometimes relationships don’t work out and so if you already have a child w/someone and that relationship ends because he just ain’t treating you right, are you supposed to stop having children forever because u already have kids by that one who wasn’t sh*t? All this because everybody else wants to run YOUR life and what YOU do? Now if u can take care of them then have as many as u like by as many as u like but if u don’t have a job, no place to live, then THAT’S what the real problem is!
It’s not even about her, its about the kids. If she can justify this to the black community then our future is bleak. She is very irresponsible and no different than any other person than complicates the lives of their children for selfish reasons.
This is her life she can do as she please!
B-O-S-S-I-P IS A BREEDING GROUND FOR IGNORANCE !
I need an off shore account.
Just jokin….
@sxyQblondie-I’m good girl. Just waiting for people to start going at it in here. You know this is one of those topics.
Miss Badu aint on public assistance or out asking us for $$$$$$ so I think she’s cool. it’s her body and her business. I see no one telling the men anything..
(p.s. I have NO children but know when to mind my business)
who cares…. She is only doing what millions of women do all the time. I think it is sad but that is my opinion. If she does not want us to comment on it then she needs to stay out of the public eye. When was the last time she had a hit? I’m just saying….
I’m not lowering anything…I dont have any kids….I was speaking to the fact that Erykah didn’t start this trend…..like someone mentioned above..you cant blanket this as a negative without knowing the details…my oldest sister is 10 years older than I am….HER father was a rapist…should my mother have stayed?….if so I would not be here…and even my so called sperm donor did not stick around….HE left…her fault?…..my baby sister was brought forth as a result of my mother getting married ….to a decent man finally ….where is HER bar?
@TEEDY
GIRL..LMFAO, I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS 4 DIFFERENT CHILDREN, 3 DIFFERENT MEN, AND THEY ARE LIKE STEPPING STONES. 13, 12, AND THE LAST TWO ARE LIKE 9 & 10, AND GIRL BELIEVE ME WHEN I TELL YOU THAT THE LAST 2 ARE 8 MONTHS APART!!(SMDH) THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS ALERGIC TO ANY TYPE OF WORK!!(LMFAO) AND IT PISSED ME OFF, BECAUSE EVERY MONTH MY TAXES CONTRIBUTED TO HER FEEDING THE KIDS, AND IN JANUARY, I COULDNT GET MY DOUGH BACK!!(LOL) SHE OFFERED FOR ME TO CLAIM ONE OF THEM ONE YEAR, BUT SHE WANTED HALF! IM LIKE, SHAWTY IS YOU CRAZZZYYYY!!?? I TOLD HER..NOPE!! BUT I MAY JUST START LOOKING FOR A LIL SHAY SHAY TO CLAIM. CAUSE DAMMIT, I MAY AS WELL GET SOMETHING OUT OF MY AGONY!!(LMFAO)
How many baby momma’s puffy got…He got 3…nobody aint questioning that. All of his kids are taken care of and even helping Kim with her kid that aint even his.
I guess its okay of men can do it…it’s “playa” when they do it, but “whorish” when women do it.
GTFOH!!!
I’m not condoning or dissing….just saying for each situation there are perhaps a different set of circumstances…..some people ( men and women) are trife…some are caught up…..and when we make general statements without specifying we are no better than the white folk who do the same thing to us we do to ourselves….just trying to speak from intelligence and not ignorance…meaning I know better than to blanket any statement pertaining to our people…..cept we need to come together to come up…..that’s true of all of us
Damn. Another stereotype made true
Erykah don’t give a hot damn about what yall think! I’m sure if she was the average womna, she probably wouldn’t do so if she couldn’t financially manage it. Badu is on another level, she’s not getting pregnant by these men to HOLD them like MANY women do, she does so simply because she WANTS to. I distinctively remember her saying in an Ebony article long before she had any children, that she wanted to have “10 kids” by different men. Well she hasn’t reached 10 but she damn sure is having them by differnt men which once again IS HER BUSINESS! Damn sweep the trash from in front of your door before sweeping your neighbors!
@TEEDY, YES GIRL THERE WILL BE CYBER BEEF UP IN HERE OVER THIS ONE. IN THE TIME IT WILL TAKE FOR ME TO GET FROM MY HOUSE(where im at now) TO WORK, WHEN I PULL UP THIS POST AGAIN AT MY DESK, IT WILL BE DOUBLE THE POST’S, AND NOTHING BUT FOLKS CURSING EACH OTHER OUT!(LOL)
@southernbella
How many baby momma’s puffy got…He got 3…nobody aint questioning that. All of his kids are taken care of and even helping Kim with her kid that aint even his.
COSIGN!! GIRL I KNOW THATS RIGHT!!
if she were anybody but ms. badu (ri-ri or cassie for example) yall would be all in her azz wit the name callin.
Marriage aint for everybody i agree but i would be wary of bringin a bunch of men in my house to see their individual kids. yall are right there are a lot of women in our community in this situation so we know firsthand its not ideal. that aint about judgin nobody thats just real.
@southernbella- i feel u but u know erkyah aint put in Half as many years as your mama.
I will not judge her. She can support her chirren. who cares. If she make a mistake and gets knocked up why should she get rid of it because of what society may think of her, when she has all the resources to take care of the life she has inside of her? And her second baby father was murdered anyway. so does that mean she should live the rest of her life in solitude? no she met someone else who she felt was worthy and opened herself to him and got knocked up. its not like she is still alone and having her third child. wth.
@WHOA,
“If that woman wants to have 3 kids with 3 different men, that’s HER BUSINESS! Please, like non black woman don’t do the same thing! At leats she TAKES CARE of her children unlike some women and men who have children by the same mate and can’t properly raise them.”
Obviously it is her business what she does but it doesnt make it right and it doesnt mean we cant say it is wrong. And yes, thank goodness she has the means of taking care of her children but you cant by stability. Children want their daddies around. Children want to see their mommies and daddies together.
Please dont set up any false dichotomies (look it up if you are confused). The choice for black people isnt between having 3 baby daddies and being in a relationship that doesnt work. There are a bynch of choices that can be made and it is about time black try very hard to make the best ones. SHe is not making the best one.
Z…well stated
where have ya’ll been at? andre 300 is the first, the second was some rapper who is not dead, and the third is whoever she is with now.
now*
@ sxyQblondie
I’m not sure how u file but (side note:)
before I was married w/ children. I would claim 0 dependants and pick myself up at the end of the year.
If you live by yourself you can also claim head of household.
Because Uncle Sam ( the biggest loan shark in history) will come get your sh^t.
Also, if you have a 401k you may want to up your percentage.
Hopefully you can find a tip in here somewhere.
Sh^t we all need our $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
@sxyQblondie
Half no no no. She was on some other stuff. You get 1,500 per child so you should only give up 500 of those bills, that’s the going rate. The key is find them early like around December cause you know they will be broke after Christmas and try to stick with the same child year after year, you must develop a trust system because people do shady things like give two or three people the SS number. I was lucky enough to find a child with the same last name as mine so they don’t suspect anything. We’ve been dealing for about 3 years now so my taxes look the same every year.
@WHOA,
“Erykah don’t give a hot damn about what yall think! I’m sure if she was the average womna, she probably wouldn’t do so if she couldn’t financially manage it. Badu is on another level, she’s not getting pregnant by these men to HOLD them like MANY women do, she does so simply because she WANTS to.”
With each post you sound dumber and dumber. Great so because she got some money they same rules dont apply to her? Well lets wait 20 years from now and she how her children liked the arrangement.
lol@ Bossip Tax tips…..
@Kigali
Shut the hell up. You don’t know the dynamics of why she made the choices she made. shyt happens. u could be with someone for 10 years and a situation could bring out a side of them you never even knew existed. and u know suddenly know u ahve to get away from them for everyone’s well being. does that mean u should not meet someone new…..or u must live the rest of your life in solitude?
@Lady elle
GIRL, I FILED ONE YEAR AND FORGOT THE 401K, AND WHEN I DID IT THIS YEAR, I REALIZED IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. BUT I STILL GET HOT UNDER THE COLLAR AT THE SHIFTLESS BROADS WHO STICK ME FOR MY PAPER JAN-DEC(LOL)
@Z,
Her second baby dady is from The D.O.C from NWA. he is alive and well.
Who has the right to judge?? Who can even respect the institution of marriage when it was manmade law by the government…putting it on paper and such just to regulate the population?
Rock on Erykha!!!
Has anyone, that says that Badu should just “Do her” or that everyone should “mind their own business” and stop “trying to push their beliefs on others,” ever thought about the kids in this situation. When you have kids involved, the whole concept of “Doing You” should be out of the window. Those kids will know that there mom is a ho. How will that make them feel. They may be taken care of financially but there are some things that money can’t buy.
Well- much of what I am reading is strange. People kill me when they say they cant judge someone.. thats sum BULL… we were all put on this earth with very sophisticated brains.. and to sit around and not use it is crazy… I luv Ms Badu and her work, but she should know that 3 baby daddies is not just a matter of her business - it is a matter of the principle/integrity that she speaks of (even in her music). To sit here and say she has no responsibility to LIVE what she sings about is RIDICULOUS. Should the Pastor not live a life of holiness- even though he preaches? Should the police officer not live by the law - even though he enforces them? Should the doctor not uphold his integrity to assist others in getting well- when he took an oath to do so? TO sit back and say we cannot judge is a lazy and irresponsible way to deal with the reality of LIFE. Everyone has a responsibility- not just to each other but to our kids and families. Its just like saying- R Kelly has no fault in his relationships with young women- B/C we cannot judge! Please… black women need positive figures (not just on the stage) but in REAL “YES REAL” LIFE! Everyone is not a diva, or singer, or model. What GOD gave you was a gift to uplift not just yourself , but others. Black women are the highest risk group for HIV- does having multiple baby daddy’s make u less of a target? Does 3 baby daddies set a good wholesome example for kids (not to mention her own kids)? No it doesnt. Im not trying to be in her business, but its clear some bad decisions have been made. I can accept that- but I cannot accept the fact that I cannot acknowledge the mistakes when people say I cannot judge. Granted- it may not be good, but my BEEF is where is the integrity from the so called artists world? Just b/c you are an entertainer does not give you the RIGHT to justify singing about 1 thing and living another. I’m not an artist, but maybe I am since I live the same way as GOD told me to- yesturday- today- and forever! PEACE to MS BADU and yes I can judge without passing judgement. Thats why I have a brain! K.I.S.S.
@toni montana
LOL, but you still cant help you THINK you in love with. i’m sure EB has had more relationships than the three exposed. She didnt have a baby by Common. She chooses to have these kids with the men she wants to have them with.
Like I said how many of the women in here have the same baby daddy or better yet how many of ya’ll’s momma had kids by the same man.
I also have 2 steps sister. My dad got remarried after my mom and him divorced, does that make him a whore too?
Z agreed…u cant take a complex situation and minimize it to a few shoulda woulda’s and think you’re helping the situation….at least offer a solution the the problem….to which there is none for some….
three babies, three baby daddies……………enuff said, and she can try to justify that shit all she wants but that shit just aint cool and so typical of the black race, but she proclaims to be so different, she doesnt seem any different from the average Shaniqua to me!
@TEEDY
SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD A SWEET VIC’. IM LIKE I PUT IN ALL THE WORK, YOU BUGGIN!!(LOL) BUT YES, FINDING A COOPERATIVE PARTICIPANT IS THE KEY. ONE WHO ISNT SHADY AS HELL.
@ sxyQblondie
Girl I hear you but just do you because those little scraps that they’re getting isn’t half of what they’re worth.
And they probably spend it before it’s in their hands.
Just keep boosting up those accounts.
lol
Having a child should be planned & this is why women need to be way more SELECTIVE when laying down unprotected! My beautiful women, BE MORE SELECTIVE YOU ARE WORTH IT & that is the best gift you can give to your child! That, is being a GOOD MOTHER!
This doesn’t suprise me..She seems like a nympho type chick..Yoga class taking type chick. Drinks green tea before she goes to sleep and makes you take off your shoes and sit indian style at the table.
@LADY ELLE
LOL THATS HOW I KEEP THE OPTIMISTIC MIND TO KEEP FROM GOING UNDER(LOL) THEY BLOW IT QUICK, AND SIT JOBLESS AND PATIENTLY FOR NEXT YEAR.
I can’t believe this is a subject of discussion. Lets say she married her first partner she had her first kid with, so obviously that relationship didnt work out so she would have to divorce him, same story with the next, and with the next, would that make a difference, is it now right BECAUSE the children were born in wedlock. That’s so rediculous! You people assume everyone wants to get married. I have one girlfriend who says she doesnt believe in the institute marriage and that she will register as partners ( Im from europe I dont know if you can do that there)…does that make her way of live anny worse than that of the main poppulation? Or shouldnt she have annymore kids because she broke up with the first man she had kids with? Stop assuming everyone want to live by your moral standards of right and wrong! I surely dont, if and when I get married I’ll keep my own last name because I dont NEED to be annyons wife and I dont think theres annything wrong with being the mother of someones child(or baby mamma), I dont believe in jesus christ either, so there then judge me!!
Same goes for the men!!
For someone to judge this woman for her having kids is absolutely stupid. How can anyone say for her to “stay with the first guy” when you dont know the ins & outs of the relationship. Andre couldve cheated on her which is very possible or Common couldve been abusive. Thats her business. Also, no one should stay with someone for the kids. Thats another problem all in itself. This woman takes care of hers from what i see & havent heard anything otherwise so who would i be to judge what she does in her life? She falls in love with a man & hopes they stay together & she has a baby by that man. The relationship doesnt work out, just as many relationships, & they split but there is a baby. So what. It doesnt matter when the parents are taking care of the children.
Nice pic!

Yeah its her business but she may want to rethink having a baby with every man she falls in love with. It’s funny how she and Lauryn Hill were once looked up to as the queens of knowledge. Now it seems they are heavily confused. SMH!
@Z,
“You don’t know the dynamics of why she made the choices she made.”
Narcissism maybe.
“shyt happens.”
Sorry. Shit doesnt happen. She made a decision.
“u could be with someone for 10 years and a situation could bring out a side of them you never even knew existed. and u know suddenly know u ahve to get away from them for everyone’s well being. does that mean u should not meet someone new…..or u must live the rest of your life in solitude?”
What do you mean you could be with someone? Dont be coy. Do you mean shacking up with someone or being married to them? Not every relationship is going to work but you can still try.
She will not be living her life in solitiude she has her beautiful children. Maybe if women didnt define themselves by having a man in their life, their gifts from God would be priority and be enough.
That good ol heroin will have you talkin out of pocket all the time! Poor thang
