Erykah Badu gives birth on Twitter
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 3 February 2009
Erykah Badu gave birth to a baby girl on Sunday, documenting the whole process on micro-blogging site, Twitter.
Well, I say “documenting the whole process”.
She said “Morning, I’m in labor”, followed by “Contractions are three mins apart… breathing” a little later on, and then “Can’t believe it’s over. Home birth, no pain killers, ’bout five hours. She was lil passed due date but I didn’t mind waiting. Breathe” a little later still.
She also revealed that the baby had been named Twitty Milk. That’s right, Twitty Milk.
The baby’s father is rapper Jay Electronica. Badu, real name Erica Wright, also has a son and daughter from previous relationships.
