Erykah Badu is not shy about trading insults or setting the record straight via Twitter. Most recently, she responded to Kendrick Lamar dropping her name on Kanye West’s “No More Parties in L.A.†and interpretations that she and Lamar were romantically linked based on this line: “Um, well cutie, I like your bougie booty / Come Erykah Badu me, well, let’s make a movie.†Below are Badu’s replies — including what might be the most polite resolution of a Twitter dispute.
