Erykah Badu and boyfriend Jay Electronica welcomed their first child together on February 1 at "1:30 p.m. exactly," and proud papa Jay, had posted via Twitter: "it's the happiest day of my life." Now, the couple have released their daughter's name!

Once again via Twitter, they've named their daughter Mars Merkaba. Erykah says, "Her eyes are looking right into mine. she struggles to focus. I wonder where she just came from. I mean... her spirit."

Shortly after giving birth, Badu had written on Twitter, "I can't believe it's over. Home birth, no painkillers, about five hours, she was a little past due date, but I didn't mind waiting. Breath."

Baby Mars joins big brother Seven Sirius, 11, and big sis Puma, 4-1/2.

Erykah Badu, singer and songwriter, welcomed her first daughter with boyfriend Jay Electronica yesterday at 1:30pm. The couple provided updates all along through Twitter. Jay wrote about his daughter being born, "It's the happiest day of my life!"

Erykah, 37, delivered her third child naturally. "I'm doing foot squeezes and foot rubs when the contractions hit," Jay Twittered. "Puma is rubbing her hands."

Puma is Erykah's 4-1/2-year-old daughter with rapper D.O.C. There's also son Seven Sirius, 11, with Outkast's Andre 3000.

Congratulations to Erykah and Jay!

Erykah Badu Is Expecting Baby # 3

trix — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 15:32:00 GMT

Erykah Badu is pregnant, again. She is expecting her third child, and I hope she has a name a little more conventional picked out for this one.

Her two children are named Seven Sirius, 10, and Puma Rose, 4.

She has three different baby daddies, Andre 3000, The D.O.C. and Jay Electronica and we can kind of see a trend in the naming pattern. The number name from a numbered daddy, and the shoe brand name from the daddy that used to be in the "Fila Fresh Crew". What could be in store for the newest Badu? There are so many choices it's kind of scary.

I'm all for interesting names, but you don't want the kid to totally get made fun of. Have you been around a mob of 10-12 year old kids? I have and they are ruthless, and have a no mercy rule.

Can't wait to hear what she's picked out.

She's Pregnant With Baby # 3!!!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 15:09:00 GMT

She's got another baby on the way! It's a celebrity baby boom for 2008! Hint - she's a singer and the "producer" of her unborn baby is a producer himself....

Reports are that singer Erykah Badu is expecing baby number three with producer Jay Electronica. It will be the first child for Jay, and Erykah has two older children - Seven Sirius Benjamin, 11, is fathered by Andre 3000 of Outkast fame, and daughter Puma Rose, 5, is fathered by rapper D.O.C.

This hasn't been confirmed, but if it is true - congratulations!

When Celebs Make Really Odd Comments - Erykah Badu

Sassy Smith — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:32:00 GMT

I have no idea of the exact point Erykah Badu was trying to make with her recent comment in Blender magazine. Actually the whole article makes me scratch my head.

This was one of her odd comments:

"I'm late all the time. I have no perception of time. Time is for white people. It doesn't work with me." Huh? Badu has two kids - a son Seven Sirius Benjamin, 10, and a girl, Puma Rose, 3 - so as a mom, don't you have to have some perception of time? Like to know when it's time to pick your kid up from school or make meals?

A few other gems:

How many people have you truly loved?
"I've always wanted the best for the people in my life. Except for one person: Bombita. She was in the fifth grade with me. And she can die."

What? Who holds a grudge from the fifth grade? Badu is 37 now - uh, time to move on. Even the interviewer was confused:

What?
"She was mean. She used to step on my toes, anything to make me mad. I hope she's a ghetto statistic. And if that keeps me out of Heaven, then so be it."

Who was the last person you punched?
"My sister. And was pregnant. (laughs) Well, she was talking shit!"

I'm not sure what else to say. She's certainly, ~~crazy~~ unique. You can read the full article here. Have fun.
