The gorgeous soul singer showed off her amazing shape, in a scandalous outfit at her concert this weekend. It had fans stunned, and she’s been going viral all weekend.
We see you Miss Badu. Look:
Erykah is an American singer and songwriter. Influenced by R&B, soul, and hip hop, Badu rose to prominence in the late 1990s when her debut album Baduizm (1997), placed her at the forefront of the neo soul movement, earning her the nickname “Queen of Neo Soul” by music critics.
Badu’s career began after she opened a show for D’Angelo in 1994 in Fort Worth, leading to record label executive Kedar Massenburg signing her to Kedar Entertainment. Her first album, Baduizm, was released in February 1997. It spawned four singles: “On & On”, “Appletree”, “Next Lifetime” and “Otherside of the Game”. The album was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Her first live album, Live, was released in November 1997 and was certified double platinum by the RIAA.
Badu’s voice has been compared to jazz singer Billie Holiday. Early in her career, Badu was recognizable for her eccentric style, which often included wearing very large and colorful headwraps. She was a core member of the Soulquarians. As an actress, she has played a number of supporting roles in movies including Blues Brothers 2000, The Cider House Rules and House of D. She also has appeared in the documentaries Before the Music Dies and The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975.
