Erykah Badu Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Erykah Badu is once again commanding the spotlight with a major announcement that is hard to ignore for anyone following her legendary career. Just days ago, multiple sources including The Hype Magazine confirmed Badu’s return to the international stage for a spectacular “Return of Automatic Slim Tour,” which celebrates the 25th anniversary of her highly influential album “Mama’s Gun.” The tour, officially titled “Erykah Badu Mama’s Gun ‘25,” launches October 3rd at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, with a North American and European run that will stretch through December. The highly anticipated schedule includes stops at marquee venues like Royal Albert Hall in London, Zenith in Paris, and Santa Cecilia in Rome, marking her largest overseas engagement in years. Tickets for both continents are already on sale through baduworldmarket.com, reflecting the ongoing strength of her brand and her ability to sell out iconic venues worldwide. This isn’t a nostalgia act: the show promises reimagined arrangements alongside the classics, as well as new elements from Badu’s ever-expanding creative catalog.

On the business front, Badu’s entrepreneurial streak remains white-hot. She’s continued expanding her BaduWorldMarket.com platform, curating and promoting female wellness and Afrocentric artistry. There’s fresh buzz about her cannabis line Apple Trees, a 2023 launch with Cookies that’s still building momentum, as well as the impact of her 2024 CFDA Fashion Icon Award, which cemented her reputation as a visionary far beyond the music industry.

Musically, whispers have circulated all week about the *Abi & Alan* collaboration album with The Alchemist, after hip-hop journalist Brian B.Dot Miller posted a supposed tracklist online. According to HotNewHipHop, there’s no official confirmation yet of a release date, but excitement is brewing, especially since heavyweights like Westside Gunn, Thundercat, and Kamasi Washington are reportedly involved. Fans are keeping a close eye on social media for news, though Badu and The Alchemist have kept their cards close to the chest. It should be made clear this album is not yet officially announced, so treat that as speculation until we hear more from Badu or her team.

As for recent appearances, Badu lit up Brooklyn with a DJ set under her alter ego DJ Low Down Loretta Brown on September 25th at Superior Ingredients. And her cultural influence was celebrated in Baltimore with a tribute show hosted by vocalist Angelica Baylor on September 27th. Social anticipation is feverish for her October 3 Hollywood Bowl show—Grimy Goods places it among the must-see concerts in LA this week—with support from Westside Gunn, a collaboration that fans of both hip-hop and neo-soul find irresistible.

For fans in Nashville, The Tennessean highlighted Badu’s highly anticipated December 8th show, claiming a must-see spot among the city’s top upcoming R&B events, confirming that Badu’s touring footprint remains firmly national as well as global.
