You’ve got this all wrong, yo’! Erykah Badu wasn’t getting her jollies from parading around naked, in a crowded public place, in the middle of the day. The singer, who’s a whole lot more famous this week than she was last week, shot a naked video for her new single Window Seat. She says that she was not being provocative for the sake of it. Instead, she was using the nudity as a metaphor.
Badu spoke to Wanda Sykes, who in turn did her own parody of Window Seat.
On the heels of controversy surrounding her Window Seat video, Erykah Badu appeared on The Wanda Sykes Show and said people have misinterpreted the clip. She denied accusation that she tries to insult the memory of John F. Kennedy by appearing naked near the spot where the 35th President of the United States was assassinated. “My point was grossly misunderstood all over America. JFK is one of my heroes, one of the nation’s heroes,” she explained. “John F. Kennedy was a revolutionary; he was not afraid to butt heads with America, and I was not afraid to show America my butt-naked truth,” Badu said. [Ace Showbiz]
Those are totally the excuses I use when I’m blogging naked, or shopping naked, or doing anything naked… when there’s no intelligible reason for my so doing.
