Erykah Badu has gone viral while attending the Billboard Women in Music Awards on Saturday, March 29. 

Reports state the singer had a show-stopping performance where she wore a very curvaceous outfit, seemingly mocking BBL culture. Her outfit would become the center of conversation and set social media on fire. The outfit was described as a “bold, exaggerated, silhouette” piece in which she has multiple curves displayed around the entire thing.

She also wore a black wool headpiece, an oversized brown ensemble, and wide-leg pants, however, it was the back of the outfit that had fans going crazy. They immediately went to social media to playfully say that the singer had a BBL.

One user wrote, “She’s basically telling y’all to leave those BBLs alone.” Another user wrote, “How did she make those wool cheeks clap?”

After her performance, Badu accepted the Icon Award, which was presented by fellow R&B singer Summer Walker. During the speech, she expressed her gratitude and celebrated the power of womanhood through her poetic style. 

This move comes after it was reported that Erykah Badu will be working on her first album in 15 years. What are your thoughts on this?
