As Erykah Badu was preparing to leave for her SXSW show on Saturday night, a stalker was subdued by Austin, Texas police officers on Badu’s front lawn. And of course, Badu tweeted the whole account for her Twitter followers. Not surprising as she is Ms. Tweet herself, hopping boldly over the public/private line as often as possible. If you remember, her baby-daddy Jay Electronica recently tweeted throughout Badu’s birthing of their daughter, Mars.
Badu described the stalker as a “White woman, mid to late 20′s, had visited my home a few times, brought w/ her weird writings.” She continues in a later tweet: “Sweet girl, but hopped up on something or skitso.” Seems like Badu warned the lady to back off, but when she didn’t listen, she called the police. “By this time I feel violated for real…cause o girl wasn’t threatened at all.” To the rescue: “6 police cars, a fire truck and an ambulance.” Crazy lady bolts. “When she saw the cops she took off running…obviously she had been to jail b4 because she wanted no parts of that.” (Love this! I wish more tweets were this action-packed.)
“Police just apprehended a stalker in front of my house. Stay tuned for details.” The woman fought off police but was taken to the ground. “I cried as I watched because I knew she was just sick…But the story ends with the poor woman being hogtied and pepper-sprayed.”
Riveting stuff!
