Erykah Badu, 37 reported the birth of her baby girl via twitter on Sunday.
On Tuesday, she announced that her newborn’s name is Mars Merkaba, also via twitter.
This is her third child – first being with current boyfriend Jay Electronica:
“Erykah gave birth to a baby girl at her home on February 1, 2009 at 1:30 p.m.,” the rep tells Us [Weekly]. “The baby’s father, [rapper] Jay Electronica, and her two children were in attendance.”
Erykah and Electronica sent Twitter messages throughout their daughter’s birth..
“Morning, I’m in labor,” Badu announced to her 4,500 followers on Sunday.
The couple chose to deliver at her Brooklyn, New York home with the help of a midwife — who was apparently running late.
“Labor has begun,” Electronica wrote. “Everybody stand back. No hospitals. No doctors. No medicine. We’re waiting for the midwife to show.” (READ MORE/SOURCE)
Erykah has a 4-1/2-year-old daughter named Puma with rapper D.O.C and son Seven Sirius, 11, with Andre 3000.
BOBBY BROWN & GIRLFRIEND EXPECTING
And staying on the topic of baby news – Bobby Brown announced this week that he is expecting another bundle of joy with girlfriend Alicia Etheridge:
“I’m really excited about my new addition to my family,” says Brown, who plans to celebrate his 40th birthday, as well as his recent sobriety, with family and friends on Thursday in Los Angeles.
“We’re excited because he’s in a good place – he’s sober and he’s very happy,” adds Brown’s attorney, Phaedra Parks “And I’m happy for Alicia and Bobby as well.” SOURCE
This will be Bobby’s fifth child in addition to Bobbi Christina (with Whitney), and three other children with two ex’s.
MELANIE SETTLES BABY BATTLE W/ EDDIE
Spice girl Melanie Brown has finally settled that ongoing baby battle with former boyfriend Eddie Murphy. If you forgot what happened…
The former Spice Girl hit the headlines in 2006 after embarking on a short fling with the Beverly Hills Cop star and falling pregnant with his child. Murphy sparked a war of words with Brown following their break-up when he suggested it was possible he wasn’t the father of the baby.
He subsequently took a DNA test which determined daughter Angel Iris – born on Murphy’s birthday, April 3rd 2007 – was in fact his. Now the pair has quietly resolved their battle over money and visitation rights, according to RadarOnline.com.
A source tells the website that the actor was not granted custody but will have visitation rights. SOURCE
Wonder if he’ll even take advantage of those visitation rights?

smdh @ eddie….that lil gurl is so beautiful and Mel B is hott too….he need to man up and take care of his damn child….thats a shame!!
OBVIOUSLY EDDIE DID NOT CARE ABOUT HER OR THE BABY. TO BD HE HAS TO PAY FOR SOME BAD SEX
I love EBs Creativity!!!!
Eddie ur a dog!!! WTF did that child do to u? Ur a loser…..
Who ever sleeps with Bobby Brown is nasty…LOL But i do wish them well
Poor child….. She have to grow up being called a terrestrial planet all her life.
EDDIE’S A MESS…. BOBBY’S A (SOBER) MESS…
AND ERYKAH IS DEFINITELY A MESS FOR BEING ON TWITTER WHILE IN LABOR.
WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO?
Congrats Badu!!! I’m sure she’ll be gorgeous.
Info on Bobby…NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COMMENT!
As for Eddie…I’m not too sure of what to expect out of this. I’m glad that things have settled but how “serious” will Eddie become with his new daughter? Rightnow he’s trying to live like he’s 18 years old. Glad Mel B is not looking back on him. GO MEL!!!!!
So damn tired of all these baby mommas and daddys. That’s one reason why these kids are screwed up.
I mean Ms. EB gave birth to a healthy baby………..thats all that matter regardless of the name.
lmao @ 13
CAN SUM1 TELL ME WATS TWITTER. IM SO SHAME I DNT KNO
3 different babies…3 different baby daddy’s. And the nerve to name your child after a planet….the one with martians, no less.
Something to think about. But so long as she’s happy……………
Click on the (WAKE UP)
When will bobby stop?
Eddie aint seen the baby yet, so why would he start now. Mel’s husband should just claim the child as his which I am pretty sure he does, and eddie needs to send the check every month. I hate dead beat dads!!!
Congrats to Ms. Badu..
Eryka must have had P.M.S when she named her children P.uma , M.ars, and S.even. Get it P.M.S. HAHA I know it was lame but it was funny to me. Mel and Eddie are boring.
MY FATHER IS ARETIRED fAMILY cOURT JUDGE. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE BIZZZARE NAMES THAT PARENTS GIVE THEIR CHILDREN IS NOTHING BUT AN ATTENTION SEEKER BEHAVIOR. hE WOULD ALSO TELL THE PARENTS THAT THEIR HOPES FOR THEM GETTING A DESCENT JOB WOULD BE DIFFILCULT BASED UPON MOCKERY NAMES
ERIKA NEEDS TO BE MARRIED AND MAKE AN HONEST WOMEN OUT YOURSELF. SO SAD. oUR BLACK PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO WAKE UP AND SMELL THE ROSES,,,
lmmfao @ the pms joke!!! anyway… congrats to ms. badu!!! go ‘head girl!!!
Lol @ 13 The Truth! You do speaketh the truth though
People are so quick to get a baby or just get some but won’t even think about marriage. The morals of society have really declined.
#28
lol… yeah i get it, its kinda funny..
#20, 29, & 31, I totally agree. I just shake my head & keep it moving.
Yall talkin bout bobby…erykah cant keep her big kirkin legs closed 4 shit. i kno its common esp in the hood but come on…she got 3 different baby fathers…dats triflin. and MARS???????? i knoooooo her weed must be on the 1….cuz u gotta be sky high 2 even want to name a baby girl Mars
I still don’t understand why Scary Spice ever got w/ Eddie to begin w/ ….how the paired up is soo odd to me…Dead Beat dads are bad…its more common in the local areas…but Eddie is a celebrity and should set the standard….regardless if he hates mel…that his child…too
I hear that sh*t Erykah
3 kids with 3 men
Aint no shame in her game
Im so mad at them weird names tho
What ever happened to normal names like John, Marcus, Shawn, Tiffany, Jasmine, etc…
I’ll admit, i stepped outside the box and named my daughter Amaya Malea’, but it has meaning behind it
Not like Seven???? Puma??? and Mars??????? Mars???????!?!?????!?!?!
These poor kids…Its bad enough to have a mom who doesnt shave her armpits
Now this girl has to go through life named Mars…
LMAO @ # 13
Dont seem like alot of people believe in marriage these days
I’m sorry but I think Erykah Badu is trifling. She now has 3 children by 3 different men. She’s trifling…It’s like she thinks you’re supposed to have a child by every “boyfriend”..that’s so stupid and embarassing.
…….To Bobby and Erykah you don’t have to have kids w/everyone u hook up with!!!
……..If me and my hubby ever split – I will not have anymore kids(unless its w/will s……smith)
@7 I totally agree CL has too many ads! I just want to read the articles!!
I can’t believe Bobby is having another baby he is going to be like Flav Flav in a minute lol. All those kids.
Mrs. Badu would not be getting praise for having her 3rd child if she was the average woman (not famous, no money). Theres nothing glorifying about having unprotected sex with every man you meet and fathering his child as a result.
I was raised by a single mom and she did a superb job, Mel B forget Eddie, u have a husband, he’s your daughters father. And women, if a man doesn’t support ALL of his kids, why have a child with him anyways.
Bobby Brown needs to get his act together and grow the hell up before he bring anybody’s baby into the world.
I hope Eddie visits his baby…and wow what a coincidence it was born on his B-Day!!!
Eddie is such an ass wipe darn hate men that dont stand up to the responsibilites…barf!
Eyrkah is a bad ass lol!
As for bobby brown dude is so messed up! he is always drunk and in jail and he gonna have more babies! bet he has no money! as least withney gone! Work it out BB!
I can’t even imagine the King,-prince- court jester-whatever of R&B’s twisted-up, pipe smoking lips on top of me, yuck!!!
EB has fallen prey to the white, affluent celebrities addiction giving their children crazy names. It still sounds ghetto no matter how much or how little money you have in the bank. If I were “rich”, I still wouldn’t give my kid a messed up name
It`s like that, Ever since Eddie Murphy was arrested back in 1997 by the police with a transvestite prostitute in his car,his career and relationships have gone downhill.Eddie tries so hard to put forth a image that he is professional and an intellectual.When he really is a bisexual.And his confused behavior in his relationships with Mel B.,Tracey Edmonds,and ex-wife Nicole,who did`nt know if Eddie wanted to be a versatile father to their kids or if he wanted to switch his hips more than her.,You know, if Eddie dosen`t shed his self-destructive behavior,people are going to be reading about him dying from an overdose.
Oh my gosh!!!!!
I sure will you folks would pull yourselves together and finally wake up and see that being married and having a child makes you have no more morals than anyone else, cause I sure would like to know if that is the case what the hell is up with all these married women’s husband’s molesting their children and so forth?
People say this kinda crap and then folks marry only just before they have the baby to somehow save face…when in fact they were screwing well before they ever even were thinking about getting married…..then they divorce like a week later….like that’s suppose to be so great for the child??
You all wanna talk about morals??? The hell with anyone’s morals cause we all know after watching all these Priest fall one by one with the little boy crap going on that Americans only have the morals they portray in front of you and they are freaks in the closet…so true!!!!!
What you guys should be asking is if anyone ever uses protection or if anyone is still afraid of AIDSll!!!!! Talk about something that can actually help our children people!!!!
Get real!!!!!!!!!!!
For Eddie Murphy, this is sheer KARMA! Not only did he deny his own seed, but it the baby was born on HIS BIRTHDAY! lol
i cant stand eddie murphy with a passion!
he’s such a creep!
Mel has a good husband so she should just collect that money and not even worry bout that loser!
Why would you want to have Bobby Brown’s Baby????? I know he used to be hot in the 90′s but who makes babies with ex/current crack heads…. What is this like baby number 6 or 7 for him….
Eddie Murphy, you are a HAM…. I have zero respect for him. That entire situation was just sad.
E. Badu – You going through rappers like water aint you??? lol… I still love your music though and I guess it aint non of my business who you choose to have babies with but sheesh at least marry one of them first before popping out a baby… She cheated on Common with D.O.C right, I had no clue they werent still together… I dont like the name Mars or Puma… I like Seven though.
OMG BOBBY AND EDDIE NEED TO SIT THERE OLD ASSES DOWN SOMEWHERE. THEY CANT DO SHIT FOR ANY CHILDREN AT THER OLD ASS AGES. NO HELP WHAT SO EVER. AND BOBBY BABY PROBALY WILL COME OUT HIGH. WHAT WOMAN WITH SUCH LOW SELF ESTEEM WOULD HAVE A BABY BY HIM. LADIES COME ON NOW WHATS REALLY GOING ON. MONEY IS NOT EVERY THING. IF YOU GUYS NEED A GOOD PHYSCOTHERAPIST I KNOW ONE REAL TALK. WHEN THOSE KIDS ARE TWENTY BOTH OF THEM WILL BE SEVENTY IF STILL AROUND. THAT IS SO NOT FAIR AND HOPEFULLY THERE KIDS WILL HAVE ENOUGH SENSE TO GO ON WITH THERE LIVES IN NOT TAKE CARE OF THOSE TACKY ASS MEN. LMAO
I am losing respect for Erykah Badu. Three kids by three men!!!!???? How trifling is that. I wonder who the next rapper is going to be that will get her knocked up again. I’m suprised she didn’t get pregnant by Common, but I guess D.O.C beat him to it.
Why in the world would i name my child Mars?
eeddie is too stupid
******what is twitter?***
Leave it up to my girl Erykah to name the baby Mars…. I knew it was going to be something extra and outside the box, but I wasn’t expecting a planet.
I do think she gets respect just because she’s a celeb. Either way it’s not a good look
I don’t blame Eddie for thinking the baby may not be his. He obviously felt he was dealing with a whore. Hey, if the DNA test proves it, he is responsible. But, I would just get a couple more test to be on the safe side. Eighteen years of paying for weaves, nails, massages, vacations, other dudes, and oh the kid, ain’t no joke.
Erykah- Yep, we know that marraige is no longer sacred. That’s her body and she has to deal with the consequences of fornication as well as everybody else that participates. It seems as though the pregnancy went well though, congrats to her for her new addition to the family.
Bobby- I have no words for.

ok, congratulations to Erykah, i aint know she had 3 baby daddies, mmmmmm. Whatever floats her boat.
Am i the only one that thinks Bobby Brown future baby mama look like a skinny Queen Latifah?? Congrats to them today, that baby gonna come out with a crooked mouth and leather pants on. lmao
Bobby Brown can’t even take care of the kids he has now and he’s having another one??? How many times has this man been put in jail for failure to pay the mother of his other kids? His present girlfriend is more dumb than he is. What a waste.
I think Erykah Badu is just in love with having kids no matter how many baby daddy’s she has. I know it’s her business but how long will this one stick around before she goes out and finds baby daddy #4.
Yeah, like Eddie Murphy will take advantage of his visitation rights.
Pathetic people.
