ERYKAH BADU - BAG LADY NO MORE
Erykah Badu is an American artist of African descent from Dallas, Texas. I first discovered her music in 2000, when I purchased her album "Mama's gun", just because I liked its cover. "Mama's gun" was both a critical and a commercial success. Badu's sweet and soul voice immediately entraped me. She is not only a great singer but also a gifted lyricist, a rare combination of beauty, talent and style. Erykah Badu draws elements from soul, pop, jazz, rap and RnB, making her style completely unique and impossible to define.
Badu used to wear in the past a trademark turbant. In an interview to Peach magazine in 2008 she explains why she ditched it : "You don't see the head wraps anymore because I am the head wrap".

ERYKAH BADU - CURIOUS FACTS

Erykah Badu has three kids:
Seven (male), born in 1997, is the son of rapper Andre 3000.
Puma (female), born in 2004, is the daughter of rapper The D.O.C.
Mars (female), born in 2009, is the daughter of rapper Jay Electronica.
Hey Erykah, you've got something for rap uh?
It is crazy how, according to various sources including Wikipedia, at least two of her children (Puma and Mars) were born at Badu's Dallas home. Erykah Badu has been extensively criticised for having children from different men without being married. Mama's gun obviously fired back with furious, steaming anger!
Celebrities have so much money and the possibility to do what they want, so they often lose the plot... Erykah Badu is a gifted and talented musician as much as an irresponsible and immoral mother. But this is her life so... PACK LIGHT!
Erykah, anyway congratulations for the choice of the names you have given to your children... I am a bit sorry for Seven who is mistaken for a number and Mars who is mistaken more often for a chocolate bar rather than a planet - you know, kids don't read no more these days... I'D RATHER BE MISTAKEN FOR A SAVAGE ANIMAL OR A LOVELY PAIR OF PUMA, AS LONG AS IT'S NOT MOSTRO!
