Erykah Badu Confirms Pregnancy and Lets Critics “Have It”

The singer responded to criticism over her third pregnancy with a different man.
Erykah Badu is unmarried and having her third child with a different father -- and if you don’t like it, you can “bite” her, the soul singer says.
Rumors began last week that Badu, who has two children with different fathers - one of whom is rapper Andre 3000 from the group Outkast - was pregnant for a third time.
As pictures of Badu with what looked like a swelling midsection surfaced on the Internet, commenters on various entertainment sites criticized the singer’s choice to have another child with a different man without being married.
On Friday, Badu, who released her newest album, New Amerykah, earlier this year, took to the Okayplayer.com message board to strike back at those who disagree with her life choices.
“How dare you disrespect the queendom and my children and my intelligence,” Badu wrote in all caps. “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.”
She went on to address any fans that still disapprove of her pregnancy, saying, “Who needs you? Certainly not me. . . . Bite Me.”
Badu’s current boyfriend, rapper Jay Electronica, is rumored to be the father of her third child.
Born Erica Wright, Badu was in previous relationships with Andre 3000 and hip-hop artist Common.
