Eclectic artist Erykah Badu has her 2020 sights set on the upcoming opening of an online marketplace of her favorite global products and music merchandise, InStyle reports. As the internet awaits the February 20 opening, much attention has been drawn to a product sourced directly from the singer herself — “Badu’s P***y.” The intimate pleasure will be sold as incense that Badu created to smell like her vagina.
“There’s an urban legend that my p***y changes men,” the "Window Seat" singer said.
The 48-year-old also revealed the process of extracting her intimate scent.
“I took lots of pairs of my panties, cut them up into little pieces and burned them, even the ash is part of it,” Badu said. “The people deserve it!”
As the word got out online, Twitter users went "On & On" about the possibility of sniffing that yoni.

Some users likened the idea to Strangè from Boomerang.

In 2014, Badu tweeted that she often drinks raw cranberries to get her lady parts smelling sweet.
“Ladies..For a SWEET vagina I drink raw cranberries often,” she tweeted. “Now the secrets out. (Reluctantly) ALSO promotes healthy, strong WOMB &bladder.”
Badu told InStyle, the online emporium, named Badu World Market, is “inspired in part by the New York City bootleg parody art store and streetwear label Chinatown Market.” The online shop will also include global items like Native American herbs and Japanese geta sandals.
She says the goal of her shop is to “encourage networking among smaller brands and prestigious art houses.”
“It’s a hub to share space with all people,” she added.
Badu, born Erica Abi Wright, entered into the music industry in 1997 with the soul-stirring album Baduizm. As she continues to be a pioneer with her musical and visual expression, the neo-soul artist has been honored for her evolving talent. However, back in 2018, Badu received backlash for her comments about German dictator and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, as Blavity previously reported. In an interview, Badu said she sees the good and bad in all people simultaneously, including Hitler.
“I saw something good in Hitler,” Badu said at the time.
In the interview, Badu also expressed her love for Bill Cosby who has since been found guilty of sexual assault charges.
Despite falling into some criticism, Badu continues to tour throughout the nation. The Texas native has also picked up a new skill which was inspired by her love of natural childbirth, according to Parents. Badu has been practicing as a doula since 2001, using natural techniques to provide comfort, emotional and physical support and assistance to mothers during pregnancy.
While some thought they'd have to wait until their next lifetime, we just can't wait to see what other cats this lady will pull out of her bag.
