Erykah Badu On Dumping Common, Getting Butt Naked For ‘Window Seat’ + Fall-Out With Azealia Banks

Why her exes Common and Andre 3000 changed their fashion style, after being with Badu: 

I really don’t know. They were always themselves. I just encouraged them to be themselves.

Common

Common saying that Badu broke-up with him on the phone:

I tried to break up with him so many times. They don’t get it. They don’t understand. I’m exaggerating a little bit it was just kinda like we were growing apart. I told him that I needed space. I tried to give him the fade (laughs). Me and Common are still close to. He’s the most compassionate human being I’ve ever met. But it’s all about the chemistry.

Drake

Friendship with Drake:

He’s an awesome human being. He came to Dallas and Seven was a huge fan. I asked him if he would come to Seven’s school and he did. It was just really awesome.

Getting nude for ‘Window Seat’:

In the tradition of performer artists like Josephine Baker, Nina Simone, sometimes nudity is used to put focus on your political agenda….I was petrified. You’re not supposed to look scared, but I was.

If Jay Electronica should make another album:

He can make one if he want to but he doesn’t need to.
