I also didn’t know she had another baby. I was listening to an intreview that she did with Wendy Williams and she said she was going out with 3 people at the same time and I thought WTF?
Anyway, she looks pretty.
I like the picture where they have the same facial expession with the baby.
I like her in the video of the song she and Will.I.Am did with Sergio Mendez…you guys should check it out, it’s really nice.

That is a wig ,because I saw Erica on something not to long ago , and she had short permed hair. I know what it was Dave Chapelle block party. She was performong ,and the afro wig she was wearing kept blowing back so she took it off.

Why do we have a double standard for Celebrities? If Ms Badu was living in the hood and she named her kids SEVEN and PUMA we would be saying, “Girl, why the hell you gave those kids them fucked up ass names.” Those names are not eccentric, normal or cute. Those are some fucked up ass names and if those kids were growing up in the hood they would be tease and get their ass kicked because of their name. I personally think she should have gone all out and name the her kids EIGHT and NIKE.

@ 9 - BOUGA, she said that to Wendy because Wendy being the certified liar that she is, Erykah she made fun of her giving her false information just for the sake of it.

Erykah’s wig doesn’t look natural and purposely so. Even in her video with Sergio mendes, when she wears her hair straight it seems to me that she’s purposely using that hair for “art” and not to make it look natural.
I’ma need for her to come back quick along with Maxwell cause we lack serious good music, I haven’t felt high listening to a track in a long time and my soul is in it of those sensations.
Erykah looks great, still rock and roll and funk, her little daughter looks adorable. Whoever said her children had fucked up ass NAMES was right.

When Erykah named Seven I kinda understood…..G is the 7th letter in the alphabet….she said G to her meant God…..so she was like also Seven is a number that can’t be divided….so I was like okay….and he looks so much like her and Dre….beautiful child he is….and seeing Puma she’s a cutie…..but with her having the D.O.C as the baby daddy…..I still think that child is Common’s….because it’s too crazy she just broke up with Common and then she’s prego by D.O.C….don’t peeps use condoms anymore…..I’m not into E Badu like I used to be…..but she’s still a great singer by far!!!

I love Eryka’s music and her children are adorable- the only thing that bothers me is the comments she constantly makes about dating the 3 men is that she obviously is having unprotected sex. which aint cute this day and age. One minute she’s preaching to sisters to take care of themselves then the next minute she comes up with another rapper’s baby. Then again it may all be hype because Eryka has been caught in some BIG ass lies in the past.

@15:
I live in the same city as she does and babe, South Dallas is DA HOOD! I also grew up there but haven’t lived there in over 12 years. But, Erykah didn’t let fame take over. she didn’t forget where she came from and girlfriend has bought an old theatre in South Dallas and holds tons of charity events with celebrity guests. The D.O.C is from Texas too! So, that’s not too far fectched that they kicked it. Hell, he had people from the West Dallas Projects.
So, don’t sleep! Find out the knowledge before you get to spouting off random comments! LOL!
GO MISS BADU! DO YOU! Also, that joint she did with Big Tuck is FIYAH! Texas is on BLAZE in 2007! Yall betta recognize! That’s real talk!

Wow! Good to see Erykah back!
I knew she had a daughter named Puma, but she wouldn’t say who the father was at first. I had no idea it was The D.O.C.!
I hope she makes some more good music soon. I liked her when she first came out. Her live CD was great!!!
Then she kinda lost me after that. ??

Yall talking about Common is the daddy; don’t yall know that Common and Erica broke up because she cheated and got pregnant by D.O.C. yeah he was not having it.. Wasnt the break-up abrupt…
Erica Badu was once one of my favorate female artist. but, she went crazy talking about kript keepers and how they chopped her head off her old body and resurected her spirit into the form she is now.
But, her first album was her pinnacle along with the song Tyrone after that it was over. she stepped into the game late
Like Micheal Jackson Thriller is his pinnacle but it just that he started earlier in life so he had the opportinity to have a long career in this shady music business.

South Dallas!!!!! I’m from Oak Cliff, which is considered the hood, but I spent a lot of time growing up on the sunny side!!
My Dallas folks know about that State Fair of Texas & MLK CENTER!!
But yeah, Erykah stayed very true to her roots and I love her for that. That’s my girl and I can’t wait till she comes out with a new album because “Worldwide Underground” was such a tease.

D.O.C. is from Dallas as well but he used to rap with NWA and repped the West Coast back in that era. His name stands for Dallas Oak Cliff, I believe.
This is one of his most known songs…

@ 55 Megan:
You know I know bout the Fair! It’s what’s up in October! My birthday, October 2, has fallen on Granbling/PV game for years! I’ll have to wait awhile before it falls on that date again!
Folx from up in the East & West coast used to sleep on the South and Texas but it’s our time to shine!
BTW, do you eat at Sweet Georgia Brown? Most folx from O.C. think it’s the best thing since sliced bread.

56. Hotmomma, girl yeah, we used to go there after church a lot. I love their hot water cornbread.
I haven’t been to the fair in years!!! I had stopped going in high school cause we would just go to Six Flags on Fair days. But I’ve been in VA in school for the past 4 years but you appreciate stuff like that when you leave it and I’m definitely going when I get home for good!
But yea, I remember when the South wasn’t in the hip hop scene at all and doing all that west coast-east coast beef we would repp the Westside hard!! lol But it’s Southside all day now!

I sooooo dig Erykah Badu. IMO there really isn’t another artist that’s on her level. Her WorldWide Underground album is so off the chain.. it’s just mad, crazy, sick. Rarely do you find an album that you can listen to the entire cd without skipping a song or two, but WorldWide Underground album, and Sylenna Johnsons’ “Chapter 3: The Flesh”, are two albums that you can bump all the way through.

Do you think Erykah can shut the game down like she did with her debut album? I wanna see her do that. She’s always been ahead of her time with her music. She’s an innovator, and she needs to show people how it’s done. I would love for her to enjoy the kind of success that Outkast knew with Speakerboxx/Love Below. They innovated and blew up. Erykah deserves that, she worked too hard.

Yea, Meagan, I thought her and Dega 3000 were a HOT couple! But, you know, sometimes things just don’t work out.
But, I didn’t think her and Common were cute together at all. Also, when she did that concert and the ring flew to the crowd and she stopped the show, that was a turn off. But, other than that, hated it!
Now, her and the D.O.C. I can feel that.

The fact of the matter is Erykah is a GREAT artist…her music NEVER fell off. Has anyone heard her last album “Worldwide Underground”? It’s still the same old good Erykah Badu music, but she is truly trippin on that African tribe spirituality stuff. I heard her say she follows some tribe in Africa where they have more than one wife and she decides to have more than one boyfriend and that Andre couldn’t get down with that so that’s why they broke it off. That’s prob. why Common broke it off with her too and that’s trife, because her daughter surely looks like Common and who’s to say if that’s really his baby u know? I LOVE Erykah, but she needs to act more lady like.

Who In The Hell Left The Gate Open? AKA Blame It On The Rain
Tuesday, February 6, 2007 /
I heard about Erykah having a daughter & The D.O.C. Being the father a llloooooong time ago. I was never into N.W.A., so needless to say, I didn’t care. I don’t here that dude saying peep the first about loving Erykah, but Common was all in Essence professing his love for her. Most of us can’t find a semi-decent dude and dis hefer had one and dis is what you do… WOW, is all I can say. I’m still a fan. I’ve seen her perform live and she’s no joke. I see why she homeschools, no school system is going to let them in without proper vaccinations. Dem kids’ll be coughing up a storm spreading Hep A-C up in dis place. Damn, Seven’s nine? GEESH. I think Erykah got the name Puma from a radical in the Black Panther Party. She wasn’t as famous as Angela Davis, but still well know.
73.
Lady Elle
Tuesday, February 6, 2007 /
Yea - you guys are waaaaaay late. She and common have not been together since like 2003. And y’all need to quit trippin about her kids names. You know Erykah is way too deep to name her daughter after a shoe. A Puma is a mountain lion and I’m sure there is something behind the name just as there is something behind her son’s name. Most likely Spiritual and obviously beyond the scope of all y’all talking crazy about it - Mashonda and Pho’necia

To Lady L from the ORIGINAL Lady ELLE - if you don’t know who DOC is - you are obviously a teeny bopper. Check your hip hopehistory homegirl and go do some homework. And in the words of the eternal - Maury Povich. Common? U are NOT the baby father.
