1 of 10

  • Erykah Badu has been playing to our ears and hearts for over a decade. The mother of neo soul has never compromised her artistic vision.
  • Bursting onto the scene in 1997, Erykah never tries to be conventional. She sings what she feels and wears what she likes.
  • With the voice of an angel, Ms. Badu could sing the recipe for macaroni and cheese and we would listen to it on repeat.
  • The word stunning doesn’t do her any justice. Erykah is considered one of the most beautiful women in the world.
  • If you have never been to an Erykah Badu live concert, you have no idea what you are missing. Grown men have been known to cry.
  • Not only does Erykah sing but she also speaks out for many causes including her charity organization, Beautiful Love Incorporated Non-Profit Development (B.L.I.N.D.), which provides community-driven development for inner-city youth through music, dance, theater and visual arts.
  • Erykah takes pride in being a Black woman. No matter what shade of eyeliner or lipstick she rocks, she always maintains her self-confidence.
  • Fearless and unafraid to express pain or love, Erykah Badu’s self-reflective lyrics are honest, raw and win the respect of anyone who hears her music.
  • If known for nothing else, Ms. Badu always keeps a crazy hairstyle. She cut it all off at one point but we're happy she decided to bring back the 'fro because we love it!
  • Erykah Badu does everything. She sings, she writes and did you know she could act? You never know where you’ll see her next but you can always see her on BET and that’s why we love Erykah Badu.
