Who remembers when Common and Erykah Badu was a couple?  Well, looks like that relationship left Common feeling heartbroken.

During an interview with Paper magazine, rapper/actor Common opens up about his past relationship with soulful singer, Erykah Badu. If you remember, the couple was a thing back in 2000 and the relationship lasted until 2002. “With Erykah Badu, that was my first love where you’re just open and floating. When we split, I was 27 or 28. I was in a haze, just going through the motions. It was hard to eat. It wasn’t her fault; the relationship just didn’t go forward.”

He continued, “I was in another breakup after that, that was heavy. That one honestly is what sent me to therapy.”

We all can relate to the pain of a break-up!
