Comment: Sorry I don't why, but she's just a slvt.. to me....with-or-with-out the little bastids...I sincerely hope she offers them an education and some therapy, she's just dirt to me.

Name: nightshift
Comment: ya know what she's probably the best momma in town...not..this is too nasty and J-hud ix knocked-up too?

Name: Janissi
Comment: Ahhhh, EUR, I think this is old news - like months old. A few months ago she was putting people on blast for criticizing her for the assorted baby daddies. Just saying. I used to be a fan of hers back in the "Tyrone" days, but not so much anymore.

Name: Grace12_34
Comment: @Nightshift, what is an "slvt?" I never cared for Erykah Badu. I'm shocked at all the baby daddies.

Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: ...She just keep dropping kids like seeds...Maybe she needs to change her name To Erykah Appleseed...Who's gonna knock her azz up next?....Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be that dayum Tyrone?

Name: jazzfan
Comment: 3 babies, 3 rapper baby daddies? OK! I guess it just goes "On and On".

Name: FiveMore
Comment: Erica must have been trying to start a new trend by having multiple children with several different guys. But I find it pretty sad that she does not approve of marriage and I know folk might say marriage is old foggy but three different dads makes you look like a baby receptacle. Did she purposely set out to have relations with three famous guys and have a baby with each of these men? Uhmmm...weird to say to say the least but this is just my opinion because Erica can do whatever she likes to do....besides, it is her body**shrugs shoulders**

Name: TGen
Comment: Yeah Janissi, I was thinking the same thing. Wasn't this already public knowledge? lol Anywho Fivemore, I didn't read that she "doesn't approve of marriage." Did I miss that somewhere? I'm inclined to think she, like most women, would love to be married. Now why she's not married, who knows? Re: her multiple babies by as many baby-daddies, I think it's very disappointing. I would be lying to say I have not lost respect for her, indeed I have, especially because she's been one of my favorite, if not my favorite, music artist over the past few years. But as long as she puts out good music, I'll support, trying to look past her personal life decisions, hoping TO GOD she doesn't become another "Lauryn Hill," someone unable to overcome the consequences of poor personal decisions to still deliver a quality product. We'll see. *Sigh*

Comment: I was always a fan of Erykah's but damn, use of contraceptives would have been a good look.

Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: I dunno, I just picture her with her kids running around in pampers and no other clothes on...No shirts, shoes, pants, ect...just pampers...And breaking sh1t...

Name: McNasty
Comment: Good Lord! 3 baby daddies! She might be trying to catch up with Lauryn Hill with the number of kids but what in de heyell is she trying to prove rackin' up rappers as baby daddies?!

Name: McNasty
Comment: Nightshift I'm glad you said it - I didn't really wanna call the girl what I've thought she was for quite a while. This child reproduces like she thinks maybe that will keep a relationship together or her life depends on it. Mothership - you ain't never lied - contraception would be a good look for this female!

Name: CoCoCaramel
Comment: Three babies, three baby daddies...This is triflin...I am so sick of these women popping out babies and not getting married...Whatever happened to traditional family values???

Name: sweetpea
Comment: This is old news. I heard she was pregant earlier last month.

Name: mstoastedalmond
Comment: Please stop hating on my girl. I loves me some Erykah. While I know that this may not be a good moral image in most people's opinion, I think we should just mind our own business on this one. She's not hurting anyone and her children are well taken care of both financially and spiritually. Everyone isn't lucky enough to find and marry that special person in their lives. I'm sorry, but I don't think women should force a marriage just to keep other people from talking about them. She fell in love with each of these men and had a child with them. While she was with them, she probably thought it might last but it didn't and we don't know why. She also said in her post that she does not have anything against marriage. I don't think she shouldn't have a baby with another man just because it didn't work out with the first one. Not saying that I would do that but it's not my place to judge anyone else. Everybody has a different sense of what values are. I agree, using protection is very important but she specifically said that each child was planned so the use of condoms isn't the issue. This is a message board so everyone will have an opinion. But it's not like anyone posting on here is a saint.

Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: ...Imma saint...

Name: FiveMore
Comment: mstoastedalmond, unlike Boot,(lol) I am not a saint but as I stated earlier in my post, she has the right to reproduce with whoever (how ever many mens) she wants.If Ms. Badu likes it, I love it!

Name: mstoastedalmond
Comment: Correction: Ain't no saints, except BOOT, in here.

Name: oshun
Comment: i'm with you, FiveMore. you can't have it both ways-you can't be against committed relationships but FOR serial procreating. having children implies COMMITTMENT, rules, standards, limits, discipline...all the things she seems to be against. i've always been a fan of her music, and probably always will, but i find her lifestyle questionable.

Name: McNasty
Comment: Mstoast I'm not into making excuses for bad behavior and how in de heyell can you say financially AND spiritually when if she was spiritual not only would it have occurred to her after the first one 'being in love and. . .' but at least by the second one she should have known to think twice. Sure she can support them but look around, that's what half the problem in the black community is about. She is all out front and in spite of the fact that parents need to talk to their daughters more extensively, these girls still use singers and actresses as role models. Like was said earlier 'this ain't a good look.

Name: MOTHERSHIP
Comment: mstoastedalmond, in this day and age of AIDS, I don't think, love or no love that runnin' up in somebody's azz raw is a good look. I love my life too much to be just slangin' in because I lub him. I don't know where them niccas been and damn sure ain't tryin' to find out when that AIDS test comes back positive.

Name: MOTHERSHIP
Comment: Soulda read slangin' "it."

Name: Southernbelle
Comment: Oh my, Well my momma always told me if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say a word. So I'll be movin on. Before I go, congrats (I guess) on the new baby.

Name: Kulchaman
Comment: many blessings to produce the seeds !

Name: musbdherbs
Comment: yep..another statistic...just like Babyface's new child.

Name: Quanli
Comment: She is on that earthy, "I'm spiritual" tip and it is tired. She is grown and dropping these babies by different men by some "enlightened" choice? Please. I went to one of her shows a few months ago and while she had her moments, she is not the same Erykah people went hard for. I don't think her choices are a good look at all and one day she will have to explain that to her daughter.

Name: krizdj
Comment: Why does it seem like this is old news?

Name: Exmun
Comment: On the real, three kids (in a stable parental environment) is not that overwhelming. But three kids by three different fathers is hella silly, especially someone who recognizes the difficulties of single parenthood. Her decision shows bad judgment. I guess all that it takes is a single moment, but one would hope that a grown woman would have a contraception plan. Whether a woman is financially capable or not of taking care of her children, there is a greater likelihood of healthier children and healthier parenting if the parents are in a committed relationship with each other... and preferably in the same household. We've so lost our way.

Name: queeniebunz
Comment: >Exmun - good point. 3 babydaddys? That's a lot of drama. That means 3 men and their new women and the other women's kids that her children have to deal with. And I'm sure these men have other kids with other women and probably multiple women at that. That's a lot for a child to take. Oh yeah, and I have no idea on earth who the D.O.C. is? Please educate me, EURians...

Name: blackgyrl30
Comment: Yeah this is old...but this girl is trife 3 different baby daddies.. i lost a lot of respect for her no ones is sayin she should get married but she is too dayum old to not know the meaning of protected sex..oh well and D.O.C was affilliated with N.W.A back in day.

Name: nightshift
Comment: Grace12_34, have you read btw the lines yet? slvt=slut !!wasn't sure if the site would or wouldn't "BLEEP" it out !! I've neve been an admirer, I guess for me her personal life has bled into her pro(lol)life. Sorry she's a slut.

Name: blackgyrl30
Comment: yeah nightshift that's what she is lookin like right about now...

Name: MOTHERSHIP
Comment: Queeniebunz, D.O.C. was apart of Death Row and Snoop and 'em crew back in the day.

Name: dcdouglass01
Comment: Why can't Erykah keep a man? To quote the late great Richard Pryor, maybe her puzzy is dead.

Name: YLawdY
Comment: After child 1 and 2, she should have realized that her judgement was skewed when it came to picking that forever love and stopped having kids. The big question is how does this affect the children and what message does it send? To the girls, it's o.k. to have a baby by every man you fall in love with? To the boys, it's o.k. to spread your seed and keep it movin' let alone spread your seed behind dude's #1, 2, 3....? And what about the level of paternal involvement? How do the children feel if they have varying level of interaction with their respective fathers? I think her decision, while her business, shows a sense of selfishness that is definately not promoting healthy spiritualality for her kids.

Name: dcdouglass01
Comment: MOTHERSHP said: "I don't know where them niccas been..." Yeah, seem like that would be concern too. Especially rappers, who probably---when they're in straight up dog mode---hit it with a different chick every week.

Name: nightshift
Comment: dcdouglass01-she probably has that nasty women's disease---Just like Halle..... there's got to be something wrong in the head...That's not to say they the men aren't jerks, but like Lenny, she doesn't look like she belongs to the "hygiene team". They, probably after fcking, got sick eating @ the "Y".

Name: queeniebunz
Comment: Yikes. She had a baby with a dude associated with a dude who died of AIDS? I know that was awhile back but well, see, if I knew that I wouldn't go near anybody from that group with a 12 ft pole. Women get passed around in those circles. I know it's years later but nah. Wouldn't be me. I'd have to go with him to the doctor, personally eye the AIDS/HIV test and then watch him like a hawk til the test came back to even think about touching him in a way other than a handshake.

Name: browntwo
Comment: Just a question. Is she not taking care of her kids. I realize that the image that her kids is not what "we'd" like to see; but, plenty of us (myself included) were raised by single women. My Mom raised three of us (same father though!) and we all turned out well. No jail, drugs or serious issues. Have we forgotten about the role that strong black women play in the raising of our children? I'm not condoning her lifestyle nor condemning it. It's her life...

Name: B00TANEB00TUS
Comment: ....Ooooh on and on and on and on...The babies won't stop until you put a jimmy on...

Name: MOTHERSHIP
Comment: RMBAO @ BOOT!!!!

Name: Southernbelle
Comment: Bump that being nice. I like your flow Badu but at 37 years and baby no. three with daddy no. three it's time to take that head wrap off your head and tie it around your fallopian tubes.

Name: YLawdY
Comment: I don't think whether or not they're taken care of or the fact that she's a single mother is the issue. It's the fact that she has a baby by every man she "loves" without having once married. Not a good look. I hope her kids don't go to school where they'll be teased about their mom having all those different baby daddies.

Name: ladybyrd
Comment: I like Badu, but sister girl come on now. Let's get it together with (3) different fathers for your kids. How do you know Jennifer Hudson is pregnant?

Name: queeniebunz
Comment: >Boot and Southernbelle - y'all are straight fools! BHHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

Name: McNasty
Comment: Browntwo no we haven't forgotten the role SOME strong black women have played being single and raising decent kids. No it's not the ideal situation but its more prevalent with black women who weren't ready to reproduce and had nothing to teach the kids from the several men they slept with. We've got to stop applauding this behavior when it's a big part of the downfall of the black community. So what she can afford them - it goes way past that! Three fathers who have God only knows how many other kids and who may NEVER know each other - that's a problem. It's also a problem that this female gets pregnant every time she falls in love - that's not good either. At some point single mothers are going to have to admit the rug rats they had grew up without disipline or guidance and spend they're time taking or trying to take what everyone else has worked for. Or they have no thought to spray a neighborhood during the day when children are at play or at night when innocent families are spending time with each other. We all suffer from the single mothers that don't fit the mold you laid out and that's more than just a notion!

Name: RSmi
Comment: This is very old news. Is this now considered a new story because SHE made an announcement publicly??? I'm confused

Name: shulamite

Comment: This story is so zzzzzzz somebody wake me up when this chick is married. Good Nite!

Name: Exmun
Comment: Queenie, D.O.C. (I believe) is Dr. Dre's brother too.

Name: JustTellingTheTruth
Comment: Nope, Dr. Dre and the D.O.C. are not related. D.O.C. was his protege & friend, but not his blood Brother.

Name: BKLYNVIAMAHATTAN
Comment: Regardless, whoever he is... She doesn't take to kindly to bathing! Also, did she finally break down and let her Son and Daughter get their shots. She was adamantly against vaccination shots. Her Boy Seven I believe didn't get his shots until he was almost 4 years old. That's a shame.

Name: missgee
Comment: she's not the only black entertainer,singer to have 3 kids by 3 different father's. Lisa Bonet did the same, her 1st child is by Lenny Kravitz,her 2nd is by her former guru (whatever he was) and the 3rd is a very nice looking hawaiian actor he may be half black also. I guess entertainers think their immuned from catching HIV or Aids.

Name: TMan
Comment: Have you ever seen Erykah Badu when she wears her stirrup pants on stage? Oh, yeah! I know shy she keep gettin pregnant! Oh yeah! Them brothas see what I see! Oh, yeah!

Name: lovebites
Comment: ODB had 11 kids when he dies. No one is talking about him.

Name: DoctorSmooth
Comment: I'm glad to see there's a lot of folks here who see what a sad situation this is, and see that marriage is important thing. Sometimes I get the impression that black folk as a whole dont value marriage anymore like we used to, which is sad. I remember a homegirl of mine in her late 20's,(married to a black brotha) told me she was asked by a young black woman if she was married. She said yes. The woman then asks "do you have kids?" She said no. The woman was kinda puzzled for a minute and asked her "So why did you two get married if you dont have any kids??"...Sistagirl was actually puzzled as to why two young black people who dont have kids would be getting married! Needless to say, my friend was flabbergasted by the question, as was I when I heard the story. That was one of those moments when I think to myself: I love my peoples... but we gots to do better.

Name: LonghornVic
Comment: Boot, I love reading your post you stay cracking me up. Erykah needs to stop having all these damn kids, it would be different if she was married three times but none of these men have made a honest woman out of her....
