Erykah Badu Is Stirring Up 'Controversy'
Last week, an irate Erykah Badu instructed the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne to kiss her "glittery ass," after the frizzy-haired frontman released a shocking (and nudity-filled) video for their Heady Fwends collaboration "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" without her approval.
"As a human, I am disgusted with your what appears to be desperation and poor execution," she wrote in an epically long tweet. "As a director, I am unimpressed. As a sociologist I understand your type. As your fellow artist I am uninspired. As a woman I feel violated and underestimated."
Of course, at the time, Coyne's only response was a rather cheeky (get it?!?) image of his glitter-covered lips, along with the message "I kissed it! Thanks!" But now, in an interview with BBC Radio's 6Music, he's finally addressed the issue — and, to him, it's nothing more than Badu creating controversy for the sake of her career.
"She is a controversial entity in the world," Coyne said. "So everything that she does has an element of her doing art."
