When it comes to hip hop legends, Erykah Badu isn’t just a fan—she’s connected in more ways than one. The soul icon pulled up to ‘Drink Champs’ for a recent episode. There, the convo took a spicy turn as two lyrical powerhouses, André 3000 and Black Thought, came into question. And, let’s just say… things got real personal, real fast.

Erykah Said What She Said!
During the recent interview, Erykah Badu was asked to choose between two rap legends — one being her longtime collaborator, the other being the father of her child. Without missing a beat, she joked, “Now you’re messing with my child support,” referencing her son, Sevyn, shared with André 3000. Though Badu seemed to struggle between choosing one, she still showed love to Black Thought—her collaborator on ‘You Got Me.’ But, ultimately, she gave the edge to André, calling herself “one of his biggest fans outside of being family.”

Social media is having a field day in the ‘Drink Champs’ YouTube comment section after Erykah Badu’s appearance. Some fans are overjoyed to hear her call André 3000 “family.” While others are hollering at how unexpectedly hilarious she is. And, real music lovers are giving her props, saying she said exactly what needed to be said — and said it with her chest.
One YouTube user, @2C2G, said, “The longer she took the more I understood the answer 3k my fav of all but I can’t even pick one myself“
YouTube user @SammyIvories86 added, “She wanted to say 3K. They neck n neck lyrically, but storytelling… 3K is OTHER WORLDLY.“
Meanwhile, YouTube user @sundullah shared, “Salute to Ms. Badu for being honest.“
Then, YouTube user @Laughs5050 said, “Andre 3000 aka 3 stacks is Badu family. It’s great to hear her call him family.“
YouTube user @PACNYY wrote, “Andre 3000 all day and it’s not up for debate.“
Finally, YouTube user @jonathancowley1758 joked, “Now you messing with my child support?!?!???????? Lmaooooooooooooo“
This Ain’t The First Time Miss Badu Sparked A Debate
Chileeeeee! Let’s not forget — back in March, Erykah Badu had the internet in a chokehold after LiveBitez dropped footage of her show-stopping performance at the Billboard Women in Music Awards. While her vocals were on point as always, it was that bootylicious ensemble that had the TL in flames.
Sis stepped out in a massive wool headpiece and an oversized, earthy-toned fit, but all eyes were locked on the exaggerated booty bump stitched into the back. She even gave the audience a lil’ twerk moment on stage, and the crowd went crazyyy. Social media immediately started debating whether Badu was playfully shading the BBL era — and although she never confirmed or denied it, fans were convinced: the fit was saying something.
