Erykah Goes Off

July 15th, 2008

Erykah and JayErykah on VegNews
She’s got three different baby’s daddies – Andre 3000, West Coast rapper The D.O.C. and the latest Jay Electronica - but Erykah Badu, pregnant with her third spawn (and on the cover of VegNews’ upcoming music issue), says don’t question the way she lives her life.

She lashed out at her critics via a post on okayplayer.com that has made its way around the Internet.

“How dare you disrespect the queendom … and my children and my intelligence,” she wrote in her missive. “I’ve never been so disgusted in all of my life.

“I am a great mother and caregiver to my two children, and to this world. 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 thought 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 our 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?”

If you’re thinking about cancelling your membership to her fan club, she doesn’t care.

“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.”
