Erykah Badu Gives Birth to Daughter on Twitter: Mars is the Name

Now we have a planet, a sneaker, and a number. What’s next from this baby momma? Is it a TV? lol!!!

I wonder if they know about that company Merkaba and Mars.  If Mars Merkaba is the name, I wonder if it came from that place

Somebody needs to stop her from having all these kids by different men. It is clear that she is a bad example to ALL young girls. Sometimes being smart is better than having tallent.

Bad example my a$$!!! Anyone intimidating the life of a celebrity is dumb anyway. Live your OWN lives people!!! What’s good for one isn’t always good for someone else. Much love to this sistah. She’s happier and richer than most of these bammer a$$ bubbleheads on this messageboard! Knowledge of self is a beautiful thing.

It takes a female to think that 3 children by 3 different men isn’t a bad example. But everyone tries to blame the black man for the struggles of our race. We aren’t the ones dropping these babies without caring who the father is. Erykah Badu is definitely a bad example for any young girl. It’s easy to say live your own life but the fact is children follow entertainers so she is a role model and a very bad one.

I have no idea what she’s thinking having all these kids and by different men.  We know it’s not the money.  The men don’t seem to want her after she’s been with them and even after she gives birth to their kid, or do they even know that it’s their kid.  Oh well, Erykah has alwas been out there, so only she and the heavens above know what trip she’s on.

People who are making comments about Erykah having babies by different men, this is what i have to say to you: That is HER business, MIND YOURS. Its real easy for people to talk sh*t about people they dont even know and about the things in OTHER peoples lives they NEVER even experienced. Before you start judging other people, look at ya damn self!

It may be her business but when you are in the public eye it becomes our business. Erykah should stop this mess and should not be given a free pass because she is a great artist. Some people need to be judged or they will routinely do the same shit over and over as Erykah is doing.

Well, Mars isn’t so bad.

The name wasn’t originally a planet’s name, but that of a Roman god. The most criticism you can really give her as far as the naming convention is concerned is that she named her daughter after a male Roman deity as opposed to a female one. But what are you going to do?

Really? Mars isn’t so bad? Neither is Pluto!

Fuck all yall hoes actually!!!!!

Peace out….

To “Above”:

You’re absolutely right! Pluto isn’t bad either. And I would remark that the entire population of Greece would agree with you!

Look, you’ve got to look at it in relative context. “Mars” is way more interesting and plausible than “Puma.” I would even go so far as to say it’s a world of difference! Pun intended.

MEFU2

Like the pun but all jokes aside meaning is way more important to these mothers than how their child will feel when they are verbally abused for these names. Mars is a planet to every child in the 3rd grade and that my friend is where the problems will start. No 3rd grader is looking for a meaning when they hear your name is Puma, Mars, or Seven. Love her music but as a mother this baby mamma disgust me.

Half of americas young women are like that so what the differents.

There is no difference but just because half of Americas young women are like this it doesn’t make it right. Change is needed.

Context. Context. Context. I can’t stress or emphasize it enough.

I agree with you about context but I can’t stress REALITY enough. Reality is that kids and some adults aren’t going to read up on a childs name. Knowing this parents should think before they name their children.

Mars?

Figures…

I wish them well.

I feel you disgruntled_chica. I feel you. How dissapointing is Mrs. Badu with this mess.

As a single mother, not by choice as some of these women are, Erykah is a horrible example of what we really are. All of us aren’t having children by multiple men. All of us aren’t giving our children these names but this woman is what the media and the world sees. She should know better. When people say she is hurting us it’s true I have had to deal wit questions about her and women like her that are doing this to our race. She needs to stop.

WUUT THE FUCK         MARZ   WOW!!!!!!!!

This woman is holding black people back from getting ahead with the things she does. She truly is the picture of what all people think black people, especially black women, are. The sad part is there is really no stopping her.

i dont like the the name mars but i bet the bsby is cute. she should show a picture. puma is so cute

Look leave my girl Erykah alone. She can have as many babies as she wants.  It is her choice. It is her life, her journey on this earth. Here’s a little bit of history for ya. Back in 1840, nobody was trying to stop no black woman from having babies from whoever. It’s not a choice for myself but hey, I’m not in Ms Badu’s skin. Judge not least yea be judged.

She shouldn’t be left alone. She needs to know the example that she is setting for young girls. Back in 1840 nobody was trying to stop black women from having babies from whoever. Is that why black women think it’s the thing to do now?
