Erykah Badu Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Erykah Badu has once again become the talk of the music world this week, with headlines dominated by a series of major announcements and nostalgic revelations. According to The Music Universe and That Grape Juice, Erykah is officially launching the Return of Automatic Slim Tour this October, celebrating the 25th anniversary of her landmark album Mama’s Gun. This isn’t just any tour; the kickoff show at the Hollywood Bowl on October 3rd will feature special guest Westside Gunn, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, and is expected to draw both new listeners and lifelong fans as she revisits classics like Bag Lady, Didn’t Cha Know, and Cleva with fresh arrangements and her unmistakable live flair.

The tour will continue through major North American and European venues through December 2025, cementing Badu’s role as a cultural touchstone whose influence still shapes R&B and hip-hop decades after her debut. Tickets for U.S. dates are already available, with European sales about to open, and the anticipation is at fever pitch since her concerts are famed for their atmosphere and creative production. This tour arrives hot on the heels of her collaboration with The Alchemist for the upcoming Abi & Alan album; their first single Next to You dropped earlier this summer, and Badu described performing this new material as the most exhilarating moment of her last decade, hinting at its imminent full release.

Beyond the stage, Badu has remained a focal point in pop culture conversation. This week, Complex and The Jasmine Brand both reported on The DOC’s revealing interview, where he reflected on his 2000s breakup with Badu and credited her with helping him overcome addiction and find direction. The two remain close and coparent their daughter Puma, and fans continue to marvel at Badu’s ability to maintain positive relationships with the fathers of her three children—a rare feat in the entertainment industry.

On the business side, Erykah also made headlines for a lifestyle collaboration with Erewhon, the trendy wellness brand, spotted this week at a flagship store event as covered by Ethos. Social media has been buzzing in the past 24 hours, fueled in part by a viral YouTube headline hinting at more personal Badu news, though this appears to be speculation rather than a confirmed development. Verified sources, however, keep the main story centered on her music, family, and creative ventures.
