I was over at Necole Bitchie and seen that Erykah Badu wrote a post for the "haters" who had negative things to say about being pregnant. It still didn't change my opinion about it. I'll highlight a few of the things she said..

"i am an excellent mother and resent all of the negative comments and insults on my character.

I PUT MUCH TIME AND THOUGHT INTO HAVING AND RAISING MY CHILDREN.
IVE HAD THE HONORS OF HAVING 2 HOME BIRTHS AND 2 WONDERFUL PARTNERS BY MY SIDE.

every relationship i have been in was because i loved the person DEARLY and was dedicated to us “exclusively” FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

the fathers of my children are my brothers and friends . we have a great deal of respect for one another and always will. WE LOVE OUR CHILDREN TO NO END. we took our own “vows” and CONTINUE TO UPHOLD THEM. AND THAT IS WHAT THAT IS ...I LOVE CHILDREN AND I WILL HAVE AS MANY AS GOD WILL GIVE ME .

I AM VERY HEALTHY AND RESPONSIBLE AND SO ARE ALL OF MY PARTNERS

I CHOSE THEM WISELY AND SOBERLY .

ALL GOOD BROTHERS .

your opinions lack experience and are not only careless but also very uninformed and immature.

nothing is sacred here . and i see why.

if i loose you as a fan because i want to continue to have children then
F*CK OFF… WHO NEEDS YOU ….CERTAINLY NOT ME … KICK ROCKS … CALL TYRONE … PACK LIGHT …. BITE ME"


*Raises the church finger* That really bothers me. Folks are grown and can do whatever the hell they want to do, but who keeps "planning and choosing" to have kids with different men. Just because you're in a relationship with someone for "a number of years" doesn't mean you should have kids with this indivudual. Especially if, after the fact, you can look back and know you made the mistake of having one of your kids too soon. Come on y'all, this is a grown ass women talking, not a teenager. If we shake our heads at Antonitha up the street with 3 kids, 3 different daddies, what makes her so different? Because she's rich and a celebrity? Please, I call a spade a spade. And I don't appreciate her sending the message to the impressionable youth that its okay to have numerous kids with numerous daddies as long as you have a "deep bond for a number a years."

Heres a thought: why don't you wait until the relationship is secure and you're married to have kids. If the marriage fails, at least you tried. But don't try to act like most marriages are doomed, so it's no need to be married. I wouldn't be so hard on her if it was her first child, but this is third people. I'm tired of these celebrities getting on the airwaves with their gripes about marriage and they've never even experienced it. I am only 27-years-old and I know countless of HAPPILY married people. Both young and old, so I'm sick of people saying that shit.

I was reading through comments on the message board and it baffled me that people thought it was okay to do this because she has money. WTF? Money will not be a shield when her kids see different men coming and going who they once considered their father. What about her first child? Her son has seen 2 previous dads pass through his life...even if they stick around to take him to the store or play soccer, it's still a big difference. And what about her daughter? Don't you think she will question her moms decisions when she able to fully comprehend?

Erykah is a unique and eccentric women who chooses to do things outside of the box. I'm fine with that, but I'm not okay with her thinking that she's above being criticized when she does things that some people will consider morally wrong. If she don't like the negative attention oh freaking well. This is one of the drawbacks of being an artist; everything you do is in the spotlight. So...yeah...I guess I fall into the category of people who can "Kiss her placenta." *shrugs*

And on that note, I dedicate this old school joint to Erykah.
