Erykah Badu is really stepping into this problematic auntie role. While we’ve loved bopped to her music, been inspired by her individuality and even appreciated many of the messages behind her songs, these days are ill conceived. In fact, they don’t make any damn sense.

Earlier today, many of us were questioning whether or not the reports about “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett’s racist and homophobic attack. There was only one source and we were still waiting from reports from the police department. And apparently, during that time, Badu came forward with this tweet.

Given this morning’s news, people wondering why she was making this attack about her own ill-timed and weird support of R. Kelly.

And people didn’t hesitate to ask her about it.
