Soulful singer Erykah Badu has come forward to apologize to Hustle Gang’s Iggy Azalea for taking a shot at her during last month’s Soul Train Awards ceremony.

Badu issued out her heartfelt apology on Twitter Monday (December 7) afternoon.

“You know what? I want to do this, for my daughters. I want to apologize to Iggy Azalea because she’s one of their favorite artists. And they listen to her all the time. It’s for them. But when I really think about it, if y’all love her so much, why don’t y’all go be with her then? Go on be with her, y’all – Is Iggy Azalea going to miss the healing seminar to go up to the school, sit across from the teacher, so she can tell you that all y’all been doing is talking to your neighbor, not getting your lesson? Is she? Where’s Iggy for that?” (Erykah Badu’s Twitter)

A few days ago, Badu quoted Iggy’s alleged response to her Soul Train Awards jab on social media.

    • You would think Badu would have something more important to do instead stressing about her children liking Iggy’s music. I’ve always found Badu to be strange. She’s a good music artist but she’s still weird to me.

  1. Now she’s reaching…. I used to love her and now that i know she’s petty… She can go on with her bad self… One less ass to wish i would tap 🙂 Now Iggy can really get it. LMAO!
