I heard through the grapevine, that 3000 cheated on her. Outkast’s song “Ms. Jackson” is his apology to Erykah’s mother for the way he treated her.

I don’t know WTF she had in mind naming her beautiful daughter puma? Heart and Soul is boring magazine anyway. But she still looks nice on the cover, even if her hair is looking a little crazy. I still like her music and she needs to come out with new album. I’m getting sick of some of these wack ass singers.

THE D.O.C. WAS A GOOD RAPPER UNTIL HE GOT IN THAT CAR ACCIDENT. DIDNT IT CUT HIS VOCAL CHORDS OR SOMTHING? BUT I KNOW IT WAS AN ACCIDENT AND AFTER SURGERIES NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND TALK ABOUT THUG CUTE TOO HE WASNT UGLY AT ALL…

Yeah the DOC used to ghost write with Ice cube for NWA and he was the ghost writer for NWA second album that came out in like late 1990 or something like that when Cube left the group.
He was a popular rapper circa 1989/1990. You are right above me his vocal cords were ruined and he lost his voice. One thing about the DOC he definetely could deliver in the rap skills department. He actually had a good tape back then. I also think he still ghost writes and produces now. He is also in GIN and juice video when he is sitting in the back seat with Snoop and Dre. Tall light skinned brotha, had a real nice face. I am pretty sure he is still doing music but more behind the scenes now.

I remember when Ms. Badu was carrying Puma. That’s old news, but her daughter is precious. I wanted to add that her kid’s names are original - to each is own. 7 is the sign of completion (God made the earth and heavens and on the seventh day he rested). Also, Puma is a large, carniverous animal. It’s in the same family of a Jaguar or Cougar. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puma. Now it could have some symbolic meaning OR she got knocked up rocking Pumas! Who knows!!

There is a double standard….I love Erykah Badu but I don’t see anyone getting on her for being a single mom or having kids out of wedlock like most like to do to those type of women. And when I heard she was pregnant she was like dating Common at the time and he and her was supposed to be celibate together…..Erykah was str8 cheating. Cute lil’ girl though, she a red lil’ thang.

How can anyone hate on Erykah???
#15, I’m going to have to disagree with you. Those names aren’t “ghetto”; if anything, they’re very “Hollywood”.
(I’m assuming that, by “ghetto”, you’re referring to behavior stereotypically associated with poor blacks, which is the term’s contextual definition)

I was just thinking about Erykah this morning and decided to put on her music. She is so unique and talented and ECCENTRIC (sometimes to eccentric). Her and Andre were made for each other. Too bad it didn’t work.
Hey, is anyone having trouble posting comments? I registered and started using my new name (HAPPYTOBENAPPY). Now, it’s letting me use my old name?!

She stopped caring about what her fans like(her choice) and a LOT of us stopped caring about her. The sword cuts both ways.
By the way with those names she gave her kids she’s asuued that they will both be able to fight. Maybe that was E.B’s plan…..

I just have to say for those who think that Erykah naming her child Puma (after a shoe) is ghetto– answer me this– How ghetto are you to think that puma is only a shoe?

I don’t care what you all say, that baby is not that cute. I do not care for MS.BADU, I really dislike when her and people like Mos Def are so deep but can not seem to grasp that having children out of wedlock is cute. She need to get it togther unless she thinks having baby daddy’s are cute.

i know what D.O.C. and Common both look like and trust when I say…..that baby looks like Commom. D.O.C. is a choc brotha with distintive features. I know everybody knows 2 choc people who have a light baby but I’m going one step further cause I’m commenting on the “features” not the skin color.

Very cute lil girl:) I didnt know that DOC ( I remember him westcoast artist from 80s ) fathered her daughter. I do recall her dating Common sometime after her and Andre broke up,!Then next thing I know that was done ,lol and over with! I think that Miss Badu’s Mother Earth ,all natural woman image and persona has people fooled .Im not saying that shes a fake or unreal totally ,but she’s like any other around the way chick in my opinion. Probably like to get her freak on just like the next woman.Dont let the song lyrics and turbqans fool ya:)
Seven(her and Andres sons name) I can deal with! Puma which is also a type of cat(lion, leaopard,lol Im not feeling sorry! However its her kid so her choice ot name her daughter that oh well:)

I feel u 103, double standard, but whateva…
She wants her babies she got em, but don’t hate on a man *ahem Diddy* cause he doin the same thing! If the partner consents, fuck it, let them do what they do!
I love light skinned brothas, and D.O.C. looks good.
Some people try too hard to find “original” and “unique” names. My daughter will have a name with meaning, but one she can live with and not worry about getting teased with…Erykah’s kids don’t have to worry too much about childhood torture, they aren’t even going to school outside the house.

People… a Puma was/is an animal before it was/is a shoe. I have the feeling that she was thinking of the beautiful and graceful feline and not the sneaker when she was naming her child. And it is OK to have an exotic name. Don’t be judgmental.

For all yall folx that have never seen Erykah perform or whatever, just pick up Dave Chappelle’s DVD with the 3 discs. She performs on Disc #2. I play it every now and again because THAT GIRL there went HARD on Sugar Free! I always get up and dance off that!
Yea, she’s a normal everyday chic and I’ve never heard her try to defend having babies outta wedlock. Diddy hasn’t ever tried to defend his bopping either. They feel like they are grown so they can do what they want. It may not be right, but it’s REAL!
I’mma piggie back with Megan on the rumor that Andre cheated on Badu. That was going around here in Dallas during that time. Who knows.
I’m not tripping because women can be PLAYAS just like MEN and can take it to anotha level. I sure will flip the script when necessary!
DO YOU MS. BADU!

I remember reading an article or seeing an interview in which Erykah states that she lies all the time to the people interviewing her. She thinks it funny that they report this stuff as the truth. I think it specifically mentioned an interview with Wendy Williams where she made up all kinds of stuff.
I still love her, though and her kids are too cute!

So what’s with the names? What, she wear a size “seven” and her favorite shoes are “puma”? I don’t get it…And the D.O.C., huh? I guess her ass really did fall in love with hip-hop.

i heard she named her one child seven because the 7th letter in the alphabet is “g” and that comes in with the whole god thing and some people believing that black people are gods. if u listen to some of busta’s songs he calls himself god. so yeah thats just what i heard

I love her and can’t wait for her to put out some new music. I heard that she’d had another baby and named her Puma…her choice, I just hope the little girl is OK with it later in life. If not, she can always change it.

1. erykah badu DOES live in the hood. i know, i’m from south dallas too.
2. seven’s name has a meaning: it is the divine number of completion.
iono where she got puma from though. perhaps the animal?

it’s funny how people comment about her being a hoe. but what is she doing that is any different from some of these guys in the industry?
if ms. badu wants to have 3 boyfriends and 6 babies.. let her be.. we bought enough of her music and attended enough of her concerts (or at least i did) to help her take care of ‘em lol.
if you know anything about creativity and creative people .. you would know.. the craziest people make the best art. let her be crazy and name her babies crazy :read creative names. She sho nuff looks happy …and that’s more than ALOT of us can say..

Ok half of ya’ll actually believe she was dating three people. That was a joke to throw Wendy William’s tacky ass off track. Secondly, if she did have three men…SO FUCKING WHAT? Men have tons of women all the time and they are considered the shit to those with half of a brain. I adore Erykah and I recognize she is a human being. People fuck me up talking about how she broke up with this person or got with this person. Am I the only person on earth (besides Erykah) that had a failed relationship? Damn people!!! Shit happens, everything comes to an end, and relationships are not excluded. I think Erykah is the Bomb and forever will be the bomb. Dallas Texas fucking Rocks!!!

Do some research on the number 7 as well as the word Puma and you will get it. If you don’t then you are just blind, dead and dumb. I personally would be more digusted if she had given her children names like “Christopher” or “Amy.”
