"Erykah is on another level of living than most of us "sheeple" (and that's self included)."

Life Lesson #348975923: ALWAYS do speak only for yourself.

Christa Mi Marie: Erykah is on another level of living than most of us "sheeple" (and that's self included). What would the difference be if there was a marriage with one child and bickering and fighting between husband and wife every night. That would be fine because she would be married I guess. But I'm not perfect so I can't judge so I'll just shut my mouth.

@stoneyisland I totally agree. Don't get me wrong I love some Erykah Badu but does anyone else see it like I do ? She has 3 children by 3 different men & it doesn't seems to bother her one bit. Interesting.

I just read somewhere online that she tweeted that her and that Jay guy are no longer dating. I dont like passing judgement on anyone. (okay im lying) but I kinda feel what Stoneyisland was saying, and Im a single mom as well...

Stoney, I get outa jail when you bail me out sweetness:)

Jenny baby what's good? I aint heard from you since I asked you to cosign on that loan:-) when you get out jail babysweets? :-)

@sinati =D

@miss concrete jungle: point taken. you probably shouldn't be tweeting content, protected entries or not, if you don't want it to be made public. as was demonstrated, you don't know what peeps can do with your words. after looking over her twitter stream, you're right, she does know she's being watched and anticipated a leak. it just all makes me wonder about the social manners and standards of twitter. (and also whether twitter is being used like 140 character therapy for some). thanks for your respectful disagreement. ciao.

This is why I love this chic. Hi Stoney!!! You show up to EVERY Badu post and I love it!!!!

I wish she'd set a date for Part 2...sigh.

@sinati I see what you're saying. But IMHO, yeah her tweets might be "locked", but look at the era we live in, when you put it online it's honestly for the world to see and there is no true privacy. Plus this is Erykah, who could probably give a flyin hoot about what we think anyway, I'm sure she knew it might leak--especially throwing a Common tweet in there. Whether I agree or not, I can appreciate her being down to earth. Note to self: Request to follow Erykah on Twitter.

A few questions:
Since her twitter stream is protected, (you have to request to follow her) do you think it was appropriate to reprint them (lock icon intact) on a blog?

Would you reprint the tweets of your friends if their twitter stream was protected? Are these twits for loyal fans/friends only?

While she is a public figure of sorts, I think the article didn't have to actually reprint her protected twitter stream, even if she does have thousands of followers. The info before the jump was enough.

They were actually together at the jazz fest in Miami this past weekend. I heard both had great sets. I just can't get with the twitter thang.

More power to her. What a wonderful world it would be if we all could be this honest with ourselves and each other...

I dont if we should celebrate this broad or throw stones at her...I mean she seems happy in her own skin, so God bless her, HOWEVER as a role model for a lotta young sista's, having baby after baby with different cats isnt the example I would want for my babygirl. I guess i'm a old fashion cat, I still believe a man and woman should be married before having babies, what God has put together let no man tear apart. I thought she was in a relationship with some dude name Jay? didnt they just have a baby a hot minute ago? women in a committed relationship dont address themselves as single.....................................

...and she was tweeting practically all night!
Later she said "sometimes u have to write as if only the angels see. i hide myself from no one they all must know I want to grow!"
so open

She always marches to the beat of her own drum.

Isn't this one of the things we love about Erykah. Her unapologetic openness.
