Andre with son Seven 
Erykah with Puma
Erykah Badu is the New Amerykah,or so the title of her new album suggests. The Grammy Award winner who has two children,a son with rapper Andre 3000 of group Outkast and a daughter Puma with west coast rapper D.O.C., shares with us in her latest interview the influence that her children have on her music.
Q: How has motherhood informed/changed/shaped you and your music?
In the past, I did things in my own time, own speed and in my own way. When you have other people that you are responsible for, you have to create more options for yourself. My children motivate me to move and to be a good example of me . . . to be the best me I can be. As far as my music? It’s still me. I’m not saying anything differently; I’m just saying it at a higher frequency. As I’ve grown, my music has grown. It’s like higher vibrations, without the same mistakes.

I wonder why these two could not make it work out with regard to their relationship. I thought they made a nice match. But no one knows what goes on behind closed doors.
