perhaps because they caught the little girl in their
lenses with a 5.000 watt flashlight going off.

anyway who cares if she's white or not? i just wish
Erykah would release another album already, i neeed
some more music from her!

Whose Puma's father again? I know Seven's is Andre 3000.

the rumor is The Doc.....


and the baby just looks like a light skinned baby.....my daughter looked the same as a baby...

damn, imagine your mom being Erykah Badu and your father Andre 3000

Seven is bound to be the new Prince if he's got any of his parent's
musical genes in him.

Hey, hey, hey....

Wait a second. Dont shortchange Prince's talent in supposing Seven's.

Badu needs to be flayed for naming that child after an animal and a shoe. Please tell me that's her child's nickname.

Celebrities are so arrogant, naming their children like pets.

i'm sure the name has meaning to her though.....

but i have a cousin named LoveDay so maybe I'mma little biased.

I do think Seven is sorta fly. Puma...(shrug)...I just hope there's a story behind the name.

When naming children, I think it's important to not give them names that are easy for other children to make fun of. The first syllable of this name is "Poo".

wait so she didn't have any kids with Common????

Just from the dress and headpiece alone, her daughter looks adorable.

Their names are unusual but they were given with meaning and purpose behind them. While I don't know if I'd name a child Seven I like the idea. Knowing Erykah, when I first heard she named her daughter Puma I immediately thought of the animal, not the sneaker. Pumas (or panthers) are beautiful felines and the name is from Native/South American origin.

Kids will make fun of anything including names as simple and common as Jack or Betty. Hope I didn't offend any Jacks or Bettys out there, that wasn't the intention.

i seen Erykah rock a show in Nawlin's with that baby in her stomach!

yeah...she was prego when i saw her here....showin' the stomach and all....



and Boriqua: I keep hearing Doc is the childs father OR one of the guys from Dead prez but after seeing the baby...I'd go with Doc.

and your sig is niceeeee

im not a fan of celebrities bringing children to public events like this...

What is wrong w/ some of you people? They're damn near the same color

sosgemini said:

why..its her child.

There have been times my daughter had to come to my job.

Oh, & on the name shit Seven is a great name Not so crazy about Puma, but like someone said it must have some great meaning to her than a dogone shoe

Rhondab said:

are there camera's and screaming fans at your job?

i dont like it because fame can screw up a kids mind.....turn them into folks like paris hilton and that mckenzie kid.....well, both of them.....

kids should be kids until they reach the age were they can make the decision to be "public" or not.

sosgemini said:

we had transsexuals and cross dressers.

Well, this was a telethon not a full on concert. I'm sure there are ways to raise a well adjusted child and still be able to have this sort of career. I hope she is providing some sort of balance. There's not a lot of pics of her children so...(shrug).

I understand your point though.

Hey Rhondab...yeah i heard the DOC rumor too...could be true. Yeah my sig is a poem from Aurora Levins Morales...really nice poem,just wish more could have fit in my sig.

She got it from the Prince song

Rhondab said:

I think Seven is a cool ass name, no comments on Puma though.....

You do know that Mary J kicked her butt the other night on BET..lol

are you talkin bout the SOS telethon right??? Mary was aiight...she just over did it with all those crying adlibs. I thought it was pretty gangsta when Erykah said "and i know I didn't hit all the right notes...." that shit had me dieing.

2freaky4church1 said:

was it a competition?

Erykah's will always be my girl though.....



and Mary always over sings.....although the Mary and U2 collabo was hot on the other telethon.
