Erykah Badu Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

The past few days have been remarkable for Erykah Badu, confirming her enduring power in both music and culture. The biggest headline comes from the announcement of “The Return of Automatic Slim Tour: Erykah Badu Mama’s Gun ‘25,” a globe-spanning concert series celebrating the 25th anniversary of her iconic album “Mama’s Gun.” According to multiple outlets including WeShootMusic and The Hype Magazine, this tour kicks off October 3 at the legendary Hollywood Bowl and promises to hit major venues like Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas, London’s Royal Albert Hall, Paris’ Zenith, Rome’s Auditorium Parco della Musica, and Gdynia’s Polsat Plus Arena, with European fans counting down to two full arena shows in Poland October 31 and November 2. The tribute isn’t merely nostalgic—Badu is set to refresh and reimagine her beloved “Mama’s Gun” tracks, alongside deep cuts and newer work, thrilling devotees and first-timers with her signature blend of neo-soul, hip-hop, jazz, and funk.

Business-wise, Badu is still expanding her cultural footprint. She continues to direct Badu World Market, her eclectic lifestyle brand, and recently partnered with Cookies to launch That Badu, her premium cannabis line, as noted by Discover Los Angeles. That entrepreneurial streak now extends into tech, where she remains involved with her own livestream concert platform—a direct response to changing musical landscapes.

On the media front, Erykah Badu’s appearance on Drink Champs earlier this month has gone viral. As reported by Bossip, she playfully fielded questions about her famous exes, especially André 3000, whom she named her favorite rapper among her well-known baby daddies, and kept the mood light with jokes about child support and the realities of co-parenting in the music business.

There’s fresh buzz over what might be Badu’s most important new project. AOL reports that she’s teasing her first full-length album in fifteen years, recorded in collaboration with acclaimed hip-hop producer The Alchemist. Badu explained at the Billboard Women in Music Awards that making new music feels “natural,” and while her stage work lets her create moments, albums allow her to create memories—all fueling anticipation for a comeback that shapes her ongoing musical biography.

Fashion remains a strong pillar of her identity. Just last year she took home the CFDA Fashion Icon Award, and she continues to turn heads at major events, asserting her eclectic style and influence. For longtime followers, Badu’s advice remains emblematic: “Don’t follow me—chart your own path.”

On social platforms, her playful presence continues. She recently joked about vandalizing her Tesla as part of the growing wave of Elon Musk protests, as covered by AOL—showing she’s never far from a headline, never hesitant to merge activism, humor, and pop culture.
