Erykah Badu Talks Azealia Banks Feud + Having Multiple Baby Daddies

Erykah sometimes catches flak for having three baby daddies, but she has managed to make it a peaceful situation.

She says:

“I met them all at different circumstances and we all had very long relationships. Marriages of sorts. The only difference is we didn’t go to Vegas to get married but we were very committed, honorable and we learned and grow and grew together.”

On why men are drawn to her

“The power that I have does not just live between my thighs it also lives between my ears and I think I do more listening to them than talking to them and I think when you really allow people to hear themselves, they really appreciate friendship. I’m still best friends with Jay Electronica, best friends with Andre, best friends with Doc.”

She also joked a little about her breakup with Common:

“I tried to break up with him so many times. They don’t get it. They don’t understand. They keep coming back so many times.

“OK I’m exaggerating a little bit. But we kind of just grew apart. We hadn’t seen each other for a while. I told him that I needed space.

“Me and Common are still really close too.”

  1. If she has an understanding with all of them, then good. I will say we never hear about her fighting with any of her children’s fathers. They are never on TMZ. I commend them for that.

  2. She speaks so calm and well. Even when she doesn’t want to answer the question, she will answer with great poise.

  3. This was a good interview. People have to remember Erykah doesn’t believe in most traditional practices. She doesn’t believe in the traditional marriage like that. She feels a spiritual connection is just as good as a legal marriage. So in her mind, she was married to her baby daddies. Now it may not make sense, but that’s just how she sees things.
