My daughter is ready. Labor has begun. Everybody standback. No hospitals. No doctors. No medicine. Were waiting on midwife to show up. I’m doing foot squeezes and foot rubs when the contractions hit. Puma is rubbing her hands. Ok… The midwife is here now and a few family members. Feels like a scene from the color purple.” She’s dialated to 8 1/2 centimeters. Getting closer. She says she feels like she’s ready to push Feb 1. 2009 my first child, my daughter was born at 1:30 pm exactly. Its the happiest day of my life

That dude is not cute!
ERYKAH BADU 3 baby daddies no marriage! Its clear she believes in having children by different men.....Ok...IC!
I use to really admire this woman craft and work now its all so Ghetto! the typical project attitude.....I thought she was a leader someone with natural roots that is setting a example to young folks about how to live and do right.....Anyway...
I take it she believes in doing things her way having babys by different men and not being married......
Watch if they don't last she will move on and have another by another man...and another by another man and another by another man....Geez! What's the right name to call it?
Wow! She had it all natural....Got to give props for that, man that is some pain tolerance. But on the real, women did it that way for millions of years....Erykah just took it back to the old school.
Love both of them....Erykah is one of the great artists of out times, and Jay is one of the dopest lyricists in the underground, I wish them nothing but happiness with the new addition to their family.
SINOCENT I HEAR THAT SHE IS A BADDD BITCHHHH! NO MEDS? THAT'S WILD. HEY GOOD FOR HER I AINT MAD. AND FOR PEOPLE TRYING TO TALK SHHHITT ABOUT HER, SHUT THE FUCCCCKK UP. SHE GET ALONG AND HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL HER BABY DADDIES AND THEY ALL INVOLVED IN HER KIDS LIFE WHICH IS MORE THAN CAN PROBABLY BE SAID FOR A LOT OF YOU MAURY SHOW TYPE BITTTCHES WHO PROBABLY DONT EVEN KNOW WHO YOUR KID DADDY IS.
Yes Foxy childbirth aint no joke, I also have an 11 year old and similar experience got to the hospital dialated @ 5 cm too late to get the good drugs just a little something to take the edge off so I felt 90% of that pain, but when she was about to pop out my lower half went numb my natural anestetic kicked in, like someone else mentioned women used to do it all the time back in the day, alot of times people underestimate what their bodies are capable of, but this last little one had me in labor for 2 DAYS with a busted water bag and no progress so thank the Lord for modern technology, a sitatuion like that back in the day one or both of us could have died just from infection. This time around I was telling my hubby I couldnt do it and I forgot how bad the pain was at first I was doing so good breathing right, then those real contractions set in and it was a wrap, I was crying more than the baby was when she came out LOL!!!
ERYKAH IS A BABY MOMMA FOR LIFE! HOW COME ERYKAH CAN HAVE A GANG OF KIDS WITH DIFFERENT BABY DADDIES BUT NO ONE CLOWNS HER? IF THIS WERE SINGLE WORKING MOTHER FROM THE HOOD YOU'D BE HATING LIKE A MUTHA SAYING WHY SHE KEEP HAVING ALL THOSE BABIES BY DIFFERENT MEN. WHAT'S UP WITH THE DOUBLE STANDARDS? IS IT OKAY FOR ERYKAH TO GET NUTTED UP BY DIFFERENT DUDES BECAUSE SHE SINGS CONSCIOUS MUSIC BUT NOT OKAY FOR THE NON-FAMOUS WOMEN TO DO IT BECAUSE THEY AREN'T ON YOUR ITUNES PLAYLIST?
I find it odd and perplexing that people are calling her out of her name and labeling her a whore for having three children...All 3 conceived in committed relationships...And all with men with whom she has been mature enough to maintain a positive relationship with for the best of her children...
Yet you have lots of industry chicks that MTO posts up here all the time who go out and fcuk dozens and dozens of men in the industry to advance their careers...And who rack up abortions in the process...And they get praised...Not really fair if you ask me.
Congrats Erykah!! BTW, Badu can have 10 babies with different men IF SHE CHOOSES TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT'S HER DAMN BODY, AND SHE CAN AFFORD TO TAKE CARE OF THEM.
From what I know, all of the fathers are in the kid's lives, and they are being taking care of WITHOUT HELP FROM THE DAMN GOVERNMENT! SO PHUCK EVERYBODY THAT'S TRYING TO PUT HER DOWN!
@ Reasonable_Doubt
ROFLMAO! Right! Right! My daugher is 10 I had her natural boy it killed! I told the nurse look I can't do this! My first time I was on my damn toes like a ballerina!....lol
There she come her tiny self ...I'm like you done killed your mommie you know.......lol
Fastforward: I'm engaged to be married to a wonderful man who is non-black not that it matters however he is good to me and marriage is what it is and I will have more babies by him.......
Unlike other who make the choice of having sex by any and everybody producing killers, drug dealears, multi abortions by who knows who!
This is a poor example to the black race running around with different baby daddies talking about thats my body!
Period! ERYKAH talks about being a Queen does a Queen sleep around or represent!
Well, I am a fan of Badu and I like the foundation she sets for HER children. Now, I see all of these 'perfect' individuals passing judgement on her because she happens to have 3 different fathers, but its acceptable for men to have children from women all over the country and raise them. She is raising her children like most mothers do when most fathers bail out of their responsibilities. fortunately enough, Jay Electronica has been with her for 3 years now and they appear to be a family unit. So, just leave them be.
Right is wrong and wrong is right to some of ya'll...NOT. Wrong is still WRONG, no matter how you slice it.
Stop having all these different babies by different men, and marry somebody, THEN have all the babies you want...this generation is so confused. These things affect kids mentally when they grow up, different daddies everywhere. And I mean that not only for her, but for the caucasian ones doing the same thing...
AGREE WITH @ESOTERIC, @TIGERLILLY AND A FEW OTHERS...
WHILE IT IS DEFINATELY NOT "IDEAL" TO HAVE CHILDREN IN AN NON-MARRIED SCENARIO, AND THE ACT COULD UNDERSTANDABLY BE DEEMED "UNWISE" BY SOME, IT STILL DOES NOT MAKE SUCH A MOTHER A "HOE" NECESSARILY.
A HOE FOR "3" KIDS? A HOE FOR BEING KNOWN FOR HAVING "3" LONG-TERM BOYFRIENDS??? GIMME A FRIGGIN BREAK. SOME OF THESE BYRDS OUT HERE WITH "NO KIDS" HAVE OUTRIGHT BANGED SO MANY DUDES THEY'RE IN THE RUNNING FOR THE WORLDS GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS. REAL TALK. HELL, SUPERHEAD ONLY HAS "1" CHILD AND WAS EVEN SUPPOSSEDLY MARRIED TO THE CLOWN THAT GOT HER PREGNANT (AND BEAT HER AZZ ON THE REGULAR), SO IS KARRINE NOW MORE "WHOLESOME" THAN ERYKAH SIMPLY BECAUSE HER HOE-AZZ HAS FEWER KIDS? GTFOH.
AND LMAO AT SOME OF THE SAME MEANEST, CRUELEST AND MOST CRITICAL BRAWDS ON THIS THREAD, DAMN NEAR READY TO BUST A CAP IN ERYKAH'S BEHIND FOR NOT BEING MARRIED, BUT BEING FAR MORE FORGIVING AND LESS ACCUSING IN THE BOBBY BROWN THREAD. NOT TO MENTION SOME OF THESE SAME CHICKS ANNOUNCE ON THE DAILY ABOUT THEIR SEXUAL EXPLOITS, VARIOUS PARTNERS AND FREAKINESS. FORNICATING MUCH?
YOUR HYPOCRISY IS AMUSING.
TRUE, IF I HAD A CHILD, ESPECIALLY A DAUGHTER, SHE WOULD DEFINATELY BE TAUGHT THAT MARRIAGE IS BEST, NO DOUBT...BUT I'D HARDLY BE READY TO TELL HER SHE WASNT WORTH A BAG A SHIITTT OR TO GO KICK ROCKS AND KILL HERSELF BECAUSE SHE MADE AN UNWISE DECISION THAT WAS NOT WITHIN MY EXPECTATIONS.
@KEENO@..AMEN...THESE CHICKS JUST RUINING THEIR OWN LIVES...YALL WANNA KNOW WHAT EVENTUALLY HAPPENS TO WOMEN WHO HAVE CHILDREN BY MANY DIFFERENT MEN, THEY AZZ END UP ALONE, BROKE AND STRUGGLING....FOREVER!!!! I MIGHT END UP ALONE, BUT AT LEAST I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FIVE OR SIX DIFFERNT BABY DIFFERENT BABY DADDY'S TO DEAL WITH!!
@KARAMELKIA716..PEOPLE JUST THINK IT'S ALL COOL NOWADAYS. NOBODY HAS ANY STANDARDS..AND THAT'S WHY THESE KIDS ARE SO PHUCKED UP. YOU GOT A HALF BROTHER HERE, A HALF SISTER THERE...PEOPLE MARRYING THEIR HALF-SIBLINGS AND NOT KNOWING..FOLKS SLEEPING WITH THEIR HALF-SIBLINGS AND NOT KNOWING..AND THIS HAVING BABIES BY MANY DIFFERENT MEN IS THE REASON!!
@ MissDaniBaby2
Well said. Some people are so busy talking junk about other folks and what they are doing they have no time to clean up their own backyards.
Ms. Badu's situation is not ideal but it is her life to live as long as her children are happy and she isn't hurting anybody, I say live and let live.
Some of the females (and males) on here are sleeping with men/women they know to be married, have multiple babies by multiple men/women, have STD's and are spreading them with reckless abandon, don't take care of their children and various other foul BS but rather than take inventory of your own lives you would prefer to judge hers?
Get a grip people.
Congrats to the family, I wish you all health and happiness.
What's really goin' on? I love this woman's music but why won't somebody wife her??? She should think more of herself and her body! Another baby by another man. Baby Daddy # 3. Babies are blessings but I'm about to start calling her Cum Bucket Badu!!! D.O.C, Andre 3000, and now Jay Electronica. Bases are loaded! Who's up next to hit???
@FENDIFIEND<<<
"MissDaniBaby2:
Hopefully the same people who support Erykah having children out of wedlock and not marrying any of her three "babydaddies" will stop being self-righteous and criticizing women like Tameka Foster who had children by her first and current husbands." --------------------------
I'M NOT HIGH-FIVING ERYKAH BADU, BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "SUPPORTING" AND "CONDEMNING" AN INDIVIDUAL. IMO, AT THIS POINT THERE IS SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH BACK STORY EVIDENCE TO DO EITHER IN THIS CASE. SHE HAS 3 KIDS, WILL RAISE THEM (WITH THE SUPPORT OF THEIR FATHERS), AND WILL HOPEFULLY MOLD THEM TO BE STRONG AND PRODUCTIVE.
I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT ENCOURAGE HER TO HAVE "3 MORE" CHILDREN BY DIFFERENT MEN, BUT MY MAIN ORIGINAL POINT WAS THAT YOU CANNOT SIMPLY ASSUME WHO IS A HOE AND WHO IS NOT SIMPLY BY THEIR "MARTITAL STATUS". TRUTH BE TOLD, THERE ARE SOME MARRIED "SKANKS" OUT THERE, SOME CHILDLESS "SKEEZAS", AS WELL AS SOME LOVING AND LOYAL MOTHERS WHO HAVE YET TO MARRY. THE "WIFEY" TITLE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MAKE ONE AN INNOCENT.
AS FAR AS TAMEKA IS CONCERNED, I WAS NEVER AMONG THOSE THAT CRITICIZED HER FOR SIMPLY HAVING BABIES, THOUGH I DO HAPPEN TO RECALL THAT SHE WAS RUMORED TO HAVE BEEN STILL "LEGALLY MARRIED" TO HER ATHLETE HUSBAND ALL THE WHILE BANGING OUT USHER. NOW IS THIS MODEL BEHAVIOR OF A VIRTUOUS WOMAN??? HMMMMM....
AND AS FAR AS WE KNOW, ERYKAH IS NOT SELLING HER AZZ FOR MONEY, NOR TAKING PEOPLE'S HUSBANDS, OR PASSING AROUND STD'S AND HASNT SLEPT WITH SO MANY DUDES THAT SHE'S UNAWARE OF WHO HAS FATHERED HER CHILDREN. WITH THAT SAID, I JUST SAY LETS CUT THE GIRL SOME SLACK AND PRAY SHE GETS HER LIFE BACK ON TRACK.
I AGREE WITH MISSDANIBABY_2 !!!SHE HAD RELATIONSHPS THEY DIDNT WORK SHE WANTED TO HAVE CHILDREN NOTHING WRONG.SOME HOES THINK THEY AINT HOES JUST CAUSE THEY DONT HAVE THE BABY.LIKE NO" I ONLY GOT ONE BABY" BUT I SLEPT WITH 200 PEOPLE THOUGH AND I USED TO STRIP,THATS WHERE I MET MY HUSBAND WHO USE TO BEAT ME,BUT HE WAS CHRISTIAN CHURCH GOIN GUY IN THE MILITARY.....NEED I SAY MORE

NO NEED TO SAY MORE! LOL I AGREE 100%
@FENDIFIEND<<<
"where is Erykah virtuous despite her preachings and teachings? THAT is where she loses me. Telling people that they can "kiss my placenta" is not something I would expect from an allegedly enlightened expectant mother. Have the slightest bit of class about yourself." ---------------------------
I SEE YOUR POINT HERE. I GET THE WHOLE DON'T-PREACH-WHAT-YOU-DONT-FOLLOW ARGUMENT. WHILE PERSONALLY, I DON'T KNOW EVERY SINGLE LYRIC TO ERYKAH'S SONGS, I CAN UNDERSTAND THE DISMAY OF CERTAIN FANS "IF" SHE WAS ACTUALLY TELLING GIRLS NOT TO HAVE CHILDREN OUT OF WEDLOCK BUT IS LIVING A DIFFERENT WAY IN REAL LIFE...
HOWEVER, I CAN ALSO UNDERSTAND BADU'S ANGER AND FLIPPANT COMMENT ABOUT KISS HER PLACENTA (WHICH IS MORE DIGNIFIED THAN SAYING "KISS HER AZZ" OR "LICK HER TWAT" MIGHT I ADD, LOL) BECAUSE SHE WAS SHO NUFF GETTING RAKED OVER THE COALS AS IF SHE'D COMMITED 1ST DEGREE MURDER UPON NEWS OF HER PREGNANCY. I MEAN, ANY HUMAN WITH FEELINGS WOULD UNDERSTANDABLY REFUSE TO SIT IDLY BY AND GET VERBALLY PIMP-SLAPPED DAY AFTER DAY W/O RESPONDING IN KIND. I MEAN, LET'S BE REAL.
BUT GLAD TO SEE THAT YOU DONT NECSSARILY LOOK AT ALL SINGLE MOTHERS AS THE ENEMY. INDEED THERE ARE MANY "MARRIED TRICKS" AMONG US, SAD TO SAY...BUT GOTTA KEEP IT 100%.
BEST WE CAN DO IS PRAY FOR THE "GOOD ONES" AND UPLIFT AS MANY SISTAS (AND BROTHERS) AS WE CAN. IN THE END, IT IS ERYKAHS LIFE LIKE YOU SAID, AND IF SHE "KEEPS" MAKING QUESTIONABLE CHOICES IT WILL BE ON HER. BUT I JUST HOPE THIS SISTA CAN GET HER SHIITTT TOGETHER W/O THE WORLD WISHING THE WORSE FOR HER AND DOGGING HER OUT JUST TO GET THEIR "LAUGH ON" LIKE THE HATERS THAT THEY ARE.
MAN I BEEN LISTENING TO ERYKAH AND I AINT NEVER HEARD HER TALKING BAD ABOUT SINGLE MOMS OR TELLING NOBODY HOW TO HAVE THEIR FAMILY SO I DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE TRYING TO CALL HER OUT ON HER LYRICS. SHE JUST A STRONG BLACK WOMAN WHO TRYING TO BE POSITIVE. IT SHOWS HOW FUCCCKED UP BLACK PEOPLE ARE THAT YOU HAD MORE PEOPLE DEFENDING SOME STANK SELF HATING PORN STAR A FEW DAYS AGO THAN THIS STRONG BLACK WOMAN.
AND TO THE PEOPLE HATING ON HER LET ME ASK YOU THIS. WHAT IF THE RELATIONSHIP WITH HER FIRST BABY DADDY WAS A BAD ONE? WHAT SHE SUPPOSED TO DO, STAY WITH A BAD DUDE OR HAVE HER KID IN A BAD RELATIONSHIP JUST SO YOU JUDGMENTAL MOTHERFUCCCKAS WONT TALK ABOUT HER BEING WITH MORE THAN ONE DUDE? I GOT MORE RESPECT FOR SOMEBODY WHO STRONG ENOUGH TO LEAVE A BAD THING TO LOOK FOR THE RIGHT ONE THAN I DO FOR SOME SPINELESS WOMAN WHO WILL STAY WITH A FUCCCKED UP DUDE CUZ OF WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK. SO IN THAT WAY ERYKAH IS A STRONG WOMAN CUZ SHE DONT SETTLE. AND HOW Y OU KNOW SHE AND JAY WONT BE TOGETHER FOR THE LONG HAUL? THEY BEEN TOGETHER FOR YEARS. ONLY NIGGGAS TRY TO TEAR DOWN POSITIVE PEOPLE AND UPLIFT NEGATIVE PEOPLE.
i wont knock her for the 3 baby fathers, because sometimes it just happens, worry about might be engaged or be on the way to the altar and things fall apart. you might meet someone else. both of my children have the same father and we are not together, but best believe if i meet soemeone that is worthy i will give him another child, but my opinion of miss badu, i think she is a whack job and i dont know her situation, but i think she contradicts herself by having children out of wedlock when she preaches female empowerment. she also doesn't believe it getting her children immunized, which as a mother i just cant understand that when u have people out her dying from the flu, that's just plain crazy.
No meds no doctor you took it way back.Congrats.I feel that Ms Badu can have and raise as many children by how many men she wants.As there are many types of families.Who are we to judge her? We only know her musically.None of us are responsible for the lives of any of her children.Her children are probably more loved,respected and respectful than any of your children,nieces or nephews. Since all of you are God.I know I'm not so I wont judge her or any of you.
by the way I don't understand why all the hostility.Is she the boss of you? I am woman who is empowered.Raised by my mom who in her time married twice.She stated that society wants you married however society will also screw you with no greese.My husband(2nd)and I have 2 talking about a 3rd.Which if we do have another will bring our total to 8.Yeah yeah the high and mighty and otherwise unwanted here would comment omg wtf. Yes it is a ression but We can afford them and feel that we do fine making our own desions.In the words of Ms.Badu Call Tyrone have him help get your s-it.She dont need your back biting attitudes.She's an artist and the men can afford to pay for thier children.So on that note STFU @those like Fendifiend Being highly favored also means non-judgemental look it up or take it up with your pastor.Erika is a strong black woman and as one myself I can't believe the nastiness being spewed out on this woman.
Though few, there are too many sisters who co-sign with Ms Badus donkey ass behavior. Having 3 children from 3 different men without ONE marriage to show for it is incredibly stupid and irresponsible. WE are the only group of people to excuse or condone this BS Latinos, Whites, Asians, in no other group would you find people to say "Aw it's OK, it's her body and besides, she can afford it." GTFO!! After reading some of the things she said a few years ago combined with her habit of being ridiculously late for performances, I stop being a fan of Erykah's a long time. Sad. She went from being a talented artist to... Well you fill in the blank. At least the woman down the block from me with 4 kids from 3 different men had 2 of her kids IN wedlock. By the way, can we ban the use of "hater" and "strong black woman" for ALL of 2009?
I don't understand what Erycka personal choices of marriage, kids etc. has to do with us. Who are any of us to judge? So what are you people(with the negative comments)are saying?....It's ok to be in a relationship, have sex, breed, go to the abortion clinic and if the relationship doesn't work out, you meet someone else, have sex, breed, go to the abortion clinic and because there is no child involve it makes you look so much better? Oh ok, you're living for society then. Erycka gotta be something special for those men to want to be with her, have long relationships and father(and be there) for their children. Most of you woman out either has 1 child or no child and can't even hold a man to save ur asses or out there having kids for these men to hold on to them(which never works) or in relationships/married and miserable as f'uck. If anything, I only see Erycka as being a responsible, strong woman. She was in relationships that didn't work, got pregnant along the way and brought her kids into the world like a real woman. What's the big deal? What if you was one of seven children with different men fathering your brothesr/sisters? Are those the type of names or things you would say or want someone to say about your mother? Grow up people....We don't have to like/love her, HER KIDS WILL!
She is the best. People need to shut the p h u ck up about her personal life, she conceived all three of those children while she was in monogamous relationships with their fathers. Like any of you know how your relationships are going to pan out! She is incredibly beautiful & talented and nothing you bunch of douchebags say will ever bring her down. I was born at home with no meds and I'll have my children that way too, Erykah knows what is best for her kids. I would be honoured to smoke a fatty with her one day, if she would ever get her ass back to Canada!
