Erykah Badu is Not Having It

A few years ago Erykah made headlines for the music video she made with Flaming Lips.

In the video, Erykah and her sister had no clothes on and appeared to bathe in body fluids.

To be expected, this didn’t sit well with a lot of Erykah’s fans, and she later claimed she felt Flaming Lips took advantage of her and they weren’t honest with their intentions regarding the video’s direction.

She also claimed that she never approved of the music video’s final cut.

Flaming Lips denied such and to this day, Erykah doesn’t even want to discuss it with her fans.

When one of her fans tried to question her about the video’s meaning, Erykah was not here for it.

  1. So basically Erykah deflected. I’m not surprised. This video is one thing she will never be able to live down.

  2. Sigh…all these years later and she still has nothing worthwhile to say about a badly done video she chose to make. I still love her though.

    1. Window Seat was on some weird ish to because it went against everything she said she would never do. That’s just how Erykah is. She says one thing but does another. She gets a pass for being a hypocrite because her music is good. LOL.

  3. That video was trash. And she couldn’t say anything really back to that person because I mean really how can you defend bathing in a tub full of a white man’s c-m when you’re supposed to be some deep neo soul singer? Erykah lost that day and people won’t ever forget that sh-t either.

    1. True but she was rude for no reason. All the chick asked is what was the meaning of the video. That’s all. And Erykah called her a hoe for what exactly?

  4. Oh man I forgot about that video. I still don’t know what she was thinking when her and her sister agreed to it.

  5. She just needs to admit that the video was terrible and disgraceful once and for all apologize and keep it moving. The fact that she wont take any responsibility for it and keeps ducking and dodging the questions rubs people the wrong way and it should.
