Erykah Badu, in recent times, has been caught in social media exchanges, following a post about cheating with “soft dudes”.
In the post, she allegedly joked about cheating with “soft dudes” who likely wouldn’t be tuning into the Super Bowl.
The R&B legend, on Sunday, February 11, 2024, took to X, formerly Twitter, before the Super Bowl LVIII matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
In the post, the Dallas native announced that the day was an opportunity for people to cheat on their football-crazed lovers with a “soft dude” since the “men” in their lives would be focused on the game.
The 52-year-old’s post did not go unnoticed and appeared to have ruffled a few feathers of followers who disagreed with her post. When a follower indicated that Badu is “too old for this”, the singer responded by saying the person’s eyes “are very close together,” in an apparent reference to the profile picture.
