Erykah Badu Connects with her Fans

Erykah Badu loves meeting with her fans and she has been doing so after all her shows for the past 13 years. “After each show I have a meet and greet and I’ve been doing it for 13 years and the audience comes backstage and we talk,” Badu tells [The Vine]. “We talk about what’s going on in that city, what’s going on in the world, in our hearts, in our minds, in our spirits, and that’s when I get to know the people and they get to know me. And it’s been happening for a very long time.


She also embraces social networks such as Facebook and Twitter to stay in touch and communicate with her fans. “I feel connected that way and I also feel connected social networking – because they real people, they’re not pretend people, even if they’re hiding behind, you know, a digital alias,” she says. “And I enjoy social networking a lot, I feel the social networking is social evolution. We get to really evolve and share as people.”


Erykah Badu will perform with Prince for The Goss-Michael Foundation on February 4th in Dallas, in a soiree called "The Event". Proceeds will go to The Goss-Michael Foundation.


Get your tickets to "The Event" and participate in a great cause here.


It will be the first time since Erykah Badu will be back since her controversial video shot in Dallas, titled "Window Seat". The song is simply beautiful and the video is very creative, it takes someone like Erykah Badu to pull it off. It created talks, debates, and it challenged our minds.
