Post by GIANT in Culture > Music on Feb 2, 2009 at 10:54 am

Erykah Badu and boyfriend, New Orleans-based underground rapper/producer Jay Electronica, may have missed the Superbowl  but they still provided their own play-by-play… of child birth.

During a home child delivery of the couple’s first child together, Jay gave updates on his foray into fatherhood via his Twitter account. According to the page (see below), Erykah had a girl named Mars, her third child and Jay’s first, at 1:30pm on Feb. 1, 2009.

We would like to extend a hearty congrats to Erykah and Jay, and welcome the new addition to their family.

    MMMmmmm!I personally like Rihanna because she is iconic/in many ways talent/attractive among other things. On the other hand although I dont think Rihanna is a lesbian-Gay. I do beleive the girl is either bi-sexual or bi-curious. Come to think of it, if she loves it both ways? That makes her even more intresting. Rihanna girl you are WANTEDDDD! The Bsharpp2 “Rihanna Shakee” on myspace/youtube about Rihanna/Chris Brown/Janet Jackson/Etc (even Oprah is in it) brakak it down perfectly about her could very well be bi-sexual or bi-curious. Check it out!
