I have one thing to say....love is blind not deaf and dumb.

She should have just skipped the man part and did artificial insemination. Seems like she just wants the kids and not the men

who is rich as hell and can raise them without public assistance! You forgot that part

I don't give a damn whether or not she's rich. Bottom line: she's got THREE kids by THREE different men! Anyone who grew up broke and in the hood and has half a brain can tell you how detrimental that can be. I've seen that shit too many times, and it's sickening. Raising a kid is hard enough, but raising them RIGHT under those circumstances is going to be a very uphill battle. So many extra things can go wrong in that situation. Just cause she ain't on welfare doesn't make that shit right.

Exactly right.....

I see your point. She chose not to abort them and I'm guessing the fathers are all in their lives. If it aint workin it shouldn't be forced but Erykah should reflect before she has another child.

I'm wondering why the men LEAVE? jay-electronica isn't getting that Badu money, and he sure loved her enough to father a child with her AND be in her life for more than a one-nighter.

My advice for anybody that stays around Badu, do NOT lose your mind in the process because you'll be fucked up.

maybe she's literally living the song Bag Lady!

I'm sayin'... is jay frickin electronica really that better off without her????

Cinnie said:

What about any of this makes you think this was planned?

SCNDLS said:

the other part that you didn't bold, the fact they were together for more than a minute

Cinnie said:

Still doesn't mean this one or any of the others were planned.

SCNDLS said:

are you talking breakups or children?

I think she's an idiot

audience1 said:

Wow, send out the memo cuz the fucking continues and boys/men and girls/women are still having children for which they aren't mentally, spiritually, nor financial prepared to take care of.

Ms. Badu should have chosen to be a thrice divorcee with children, maybe she wouldn't have gotten some folks backs up.



I was being facetious.

I'm not. She used poor judgment based on her search for something, her compass seemed to have been off during her search for a male figure in her life. There are those who think that a child does not need a male or female figure in a child's life. I disagree. Children need both, so they can see life, (and how to handle things in that life), from the other gender's perspective. Ms. Erica Wright, seemed to create the imagine of Ms. Badu, in an attempt to hide from herself...But, as Teddy Pendergrass used to sing, "You can't hide from yourself."

And when she truly discovers this, we are going to have one bomb ass album on our hands

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Rich as hell? I wouldn't go that far about her. Just because she sold some records 13 years ago doesn't mean she's still rolling in that dough. I mean, she probably isn't broke, but I doubt that she's rich either.


Smooches;)

Or it could go the other way, like what it did for Kanye. I think he started to find himself, one the CD before this one and really found himself after his mother's passing. His latest CD, however is terrible.

Why do you think the fathers aren't in the childrens' lives?

audience1 said:

My grandmother had 4 kids by 4 different men. She married them all... the shit didn't work out with any of them. All of you mofos who think just because she didn't marry the babies fathers are seriously jaded. All four of her children went to college (without fathers being a daily part of their lives) and became productive members of society. The bottom line is if Erykah is legally taking care of her children and if your money and time isn't required to keep her family afloat then it's none of your damn business. If you can't see that shit, then you are one of the self-righteous, judgmental folks that you were originally called.
