Whenever a brave celebrity opens themselves up to a #Ask________ session, you never know how it will end. See #AskRKelly, #AskDonLemon and #MyNYPD for examples of extreme failures. But today when Erykah Badu took to Twitter to answer a few questions from fans, it was all types of awesome. I actually learned quite a few things from E. Badu including her thoughts on marriage, Beyoncé and what she would be doing if she weren’t an artist. There’s even a nod to one of her ex boo thang’s if you watch closely.
Check some of the highlights from #AskBadu below.
Marriage
“Do I ever see myself getting married? Absolutely. Every single time I fall in love, I do. I’m always looking for a forever. I’m a win-win type of person. Sometimes it all boils down to the chemistry, that’s the most important thing. No matter how good you are together, if the chemistry does not line up, I think that the bad may outweigh the good and there are easier ways to grow, to evolve. But…he’s coming.”
Beyoncé
B! I love B! I’m a huge B fan. Beyoncé is one of the hardest working human beings I’ve ever seen. She has to have a lot of patience and control. I admire the way she manages her life, her relationship and her career. Plus, she’s from Texas. That’s my Texas homie. What’s up B? The whole Knowles family got my love.
If she weren’t doing music
If I weren’t doing music or art professionally, I would want to go back to my original profession. I was a teacher before. I taught kindergarten through 12th grade, science, art and theater at the South Dallas Cultural Center. I’m super grateful for my experience there. I some day want to open my own school and I will.
Massaging her feet
Yeah, I mean, you know massage is definitely a part of the situation. It has to—that’s what I like a lot. I’m a pisces, I love foot massage. One time one of partners, I’m not going to say no names–pans the camera to reveal EXACTLY who she’s talking about–massaged my feet for so long that I didn’t have no feeling in it. And… I like that. That’s what I’m saying. Either go hard or go home. Because, you know…come on wit it…you know?
Moving on from past relationships
My best advice for moving on in a relationship is: you gotta go all the way through it. If you don’t want to let go yet, keep on calling and getting hung up on. Keep on following him around and getting embarrassed. When you get tired enough, you’ll evolve. I promise. But you got to go all the way through it. You know, you got get your weave snatched out a couple more times. You got to keep moving. Go through it. You’ll evolve. It’ll happen.
Most of us have never had to have our weave snatched out, but the part about getting tired of being embarrassed? Nothing but facts.
Apologizing to Iggy Azalea
You know what I want to do this, for my daughters. I want to apologize to Iggy Azalea because she’s one of their favorite artists and they listen to her all the time. And it’s for them. But when I really think about it, if y’all love her so much why don’t y’all be with her then? Go on be wit her y’all. Go on Puma, go on Mars. Is Iggy Azalea going to miss the healing seminar to go up to school, sit across the teacher so she can tell you that all y’all been doing is talking to your neighbor, not getting your lesson? Is she? Where’s Iggy for that?
