It's a girl--and a blog entry--for Erykah Badu Feb. 2, 2009, 2:29 PM EST NEW YORK (AP) -- Erykah Badu gave birth to a baby girl this weekend and twittered about the experience.
Universal Motown Records Group, the singer's record label, says the baby was born Sunday and both mother and daughter "are doing fine." The father is Badu's boyfriend, rapper Jay Electronica.
The couple blogged about the birth on the Twitter Web site. Badu said she had a home birth that lasted about five hours and that she didn't use painkillers.
Badu, whose real name is Erica Wright, has a son and a daughter from previous relationships.
She released her fourth studio album, "New Amerykah, Part One (4th World War)," last year. "Part Two" will be released this month.

What's the name of the girl? Odds are the spelling is way incorrect.
Is the son she had named Tyrone?
She could give all three kids the same gender-neutral name and tell them apart by their fathers' last names.
Celebrities who go on and on about their pregnancies sound like they believe they're the first people ever to go through the experience or that theirs is better than anyone elses.

Good strategy, but too bad she did various drugs (even if she quit before any of the pregnancies) which probably contributed to birth defects in all three kids.
Yes, as you can tell, I'm no fan of Erykah Badu. The one song with which I'm familiar, "Tyrone", is hateful garbage, with the one good musical element ripped off from a song from Eric Clapton's Journeyman album.
