Erykah Badu Slams Haters – Erykah Badu is slamming all the people on OkayPlayer forums who criticized her for being pregnant and unmarried.Here is what Erykah rightfully said in her post to the haters:
“pregnant with insults”
peace,
HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT THE QUEENDOM
…AND MY CHILDREN AND MY INTELLIGENCE.
ive never been so disgusted in all of my life .
there is no other place i used to enjoy more .
i post no where else .
you guys have taken an all time low , tho.I’LL STATE MY PEACE
i am a great mother and care giver to my 2 children and to this world .
my children are 2 of the kindest and happiest people i have met.
I home schooled them and taught them the ways of good to the best of my ability.
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.
IVE HAD THE HONORS OF HAVING 2 HOME BIRTHS AND 2 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?
WE ONLY UNDERSTAND THE EXAMPLES WE ARE GIVEN ( well sort of)WOULD IT “LOOK BETTER ” TO MARRY AND DIVIORCE AND MARRY AGAIN ?
WOULD THAT BE MORALLY CORRECT ?
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE ? the government’s involvement i guess.
IDEALLY , IT WOULD BE EXCELLENT TO FIND THE MAN OR WOMAN WHO FULFILLS YOUR SPIRIT AND STAY FOR EVER AND EVER ( thru sickness and health till death do us part ) AND HAVE HEALTHY STRONG CHILDREN AS A RESULT OF A HEALTHY AND STRONG UNION.
(this CAN happen … we need much training , however.)OR
IS IT REALLY “GOOD” TO STAY IN A RELATIONSHIP WHERE BOTH PARTIES ARE UNFULFILLED , LONGING FOR RELIEF , BRINGING one another down as a result of improper training , creating BAD ENERGY AND EXPERIENCES FOR THE CHILD TO REPEAT ?
(not to mention breeding deceit and anger and resentment )
SEEMS TO CREATE FEARFUL CHILDREN WHO TURN INTO FEARFUL ADULTS .HOW MANY OF YOU GREW UP IN 2 PARENT HOMES THAT WERE MISERABLE AS FUCK ?
OR 2 PARENT HOMES THAT WERE NOT PERFECT BUT WORKED?
HOW MANY GREW UP IN ONE PARENT HOMES WHERE THE MOTHER WORKED HARD TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE CARED FOR BUT SHE WASNT QUITE HAPPY?
HOW ABOUT A HOME WHERE THE FATHER WAS THE MAIN CARE GIVER AND DID THE BEST HE COULD -LACKING NURTURE?
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE A SIBLING THAT HAS A DIFFERENT FATHER OR MOTHER?
DOES HE OR SHE MEAN LESS TO YOU?
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 1 MOTHER OR FATHER OF YOUR OWN CHILDren ?
HOW MANY OF YOU HAD /OR / ARE PARENTS RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR CHILDREN ,THAT DONT QUITE FIT ANY OF THESE DESCRIPTIONS?
HOW MANY OF YOU STAY IN UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS FOR FEAR OF GOING TO HELL?
HOW MANY HOS OUT THERE … THAT HAVE KIDS TO GET A PAYDAY?
HOW MANY PEOPLE GETTING THEY ASS KICKED AND ARE FORCED TO SUBMIT CAUSE YO MAMA GOT HER ASS KICKED?
THEN WHAT is CORRECT?how about this:
I PRAY WITH MY CHILDREN
I FEED THEM GOOD FOOD
THEY RESPECT PEOPLES DIFFERENCES
THEY TRAVEL THE WORLD WITH ME
THE KNOW WHO THEY ARE
THEY ADORE THEIR FATHERS AND ARE LOVED BY 2 PARENTS OR MORE –
OR TWO OR MORE SETS OF LOVING GRANDPARENTS
THEY CRY
THEY GET HURT
THEY GET SICK
THEY HEALTHEY ARE real
THEY ARE NOT AN IDEA or a TOPIC
AND NEITHER AM I .
I AM ALIVE .
I AM BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
I AM A GOOD WOMAM.
I AM GROWING
I AM COMPLETE WITH OR WITHOUT A PARTNER AND WILL ALWAYS BE
AND I HAVE DREAMS OF A FAMILY STRUCTURE
ALL OF MY DREAMS DO NOT COME TRUE
AND DESPITE ALL OF THE PAIN IN MY LIFE …IN MY MOTHERS LIFE …
IN MY GRANDMOTHERS LIFE
WE HAVE ALWAYS ENDURED
AND THERE IS SO MUCH JOY TO BE EXPERIENCED.
I NEVER HAD A FATHER AND I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE –
BUT MY CHILDREN DO , AND THEY LOVE THEIR ‘PARENTS’ .WE ARE THEIR CHAMPIONS .
live how you want . follow which ever pattern YOU like .
MY CHILDREN WILL BE LEADERS
and they will not ever be slaves to this society’s failing idea of morality.
THEY OWN THEIR MINDS AND THEIR DREAMS.BIRTH CONTROL lol … could have 10 babies instead of 2 .
I LOVE CHILDREN AND I WILL HAVE AS MANY AS GOD WILL GIVE ME .
I AM VERY HEALTHY AND RESPONSIBLE AND SO ARE ALL OF MY PARTNERS
I CHOSE THEM WISELY AND SOBERLY .
ALL GOOD BROTHERS .
your opinions lack experience and are not only careless but also very uninformed and immature.
nothing is sacred here . and i see why.
if i loose you as a fan because i want to continue to have children then
FUCK OFF… WHO NEEDS YOU ….CERTAINLY NOT ME … KICK ROCKS … CALL TYRONE … PACK LIGHT …. BITE MEi have defended myself here ON THIS SITE and hurled a few insults .. but only in response to your insults of
my music , my clothes , my lyrics , my hair , my being a woman , my spirit, my choices of partners….
these have all been on trial here . and i continued to support the energy of this place .this is to all the okay players / REAL HUMAN BEINGS hiding behind screen names in order to insult one another and who ever else you will.
geeeez…
i had to say something
i am so sad for parents who try , today guys
enough is enuf.dont judge to quickly , OKAY PLAYER?
i know you are having fun , but what if it were you and your children?

ANALOGUE GIRL
and if this post is not clear
kiss my placenta.
Badu boldly and bravely says she doesn’t care if she loses fans over her personal decisions or her decision to speak out on idiotic opinions.
I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!!
You go Queen I couldn’t have said it better myself.. Keep up the Fantastic work with and for your family.. For ALL you Hatters get yourself some business Busters!
PEACE..
I have fallen in love with Erykah Badu all over again. I am sitting at the fence between motherhood and singlehood. Tomorrow I go to the doctor’s to find out one and for all if my suspicions are true, if I am pregnant. already I am stressing about what people will say, how they will judge me, my character, what I represent, do I know love God any less because I am of child/if I am of child? A part of me feels like there is so much still that I want to do “achieve” before I have a baby, getting married is one of those, but now, what do I do, hate God because he might have given me a child? the thought of a life growing inside me inspires me to endless possibilites, as a writer, a poet, a storyteller, a singer of dreams, I feel like I am suddenly taken to another level at the possiblity of brining a child to earth. If I am not pregnant, I will also thank God, for giving me more time to grow into the mother he wants me to be one day, either way, I’m nervous but already thankful either way… Thank you Erykah, for being a beautiful soul and raising and continuing to raise strong solid children. I wish one day my poetry, all the way from the most southern tip of Africa will grace your music, our music as black artist women.
Peace out.. I’m calm…
I’ve always been a fan of this women! She always takes the words out of my mouth with many of her songs…and in this case with the fact that being a single strong black parent that takes care of bizznizz reguardless of maritial status….is really what counts. Everybody cant be a nubian queen!
She is so real. Thou shall not judge, even if she have 15 kids (so what) it is her choice alone. She is beautiful, intelligent, and caring to speak her mind and to get feed up with the Bull Shyt that people throw at her. My dad died when I was 2 and I grew up in a 1 parent home and I came out better then most of these people that grew up in 2 parent homes. My sister and I had too much attention and love of my mother and I am very blessed and grateful she didnt choose to give us up, she chose to take care of her babies and my mom is my rock because of that.
HEY HATERS… Look at your own life (its not perfect) before you say something against somebody else.
Yes, Sista! I love you! I love your words! I love your philosophy! I love your spirit! Don’t let anyone tell you you have to conform. I teach my son to never conform – to choose – to live – to give – to stay true to himself no matter what his family says. I was free (and still am) and I want my son to be free. Too many judges out there not able to breathe. To many people out there too afraid to make their own decisions and think for themselves. So many bandwagons, so many riders!
You go where your heart takes you because your heart is connected to God and you are following your path – your destiny and you are happy and THAT’S what makes THEM haters – they’re not happy and it pisses them off they are too A-F-R-A-I-D to make a decision that brings them happiness.
Love ya!
