Erykah Badu Said To Be Pregnant By Digable Planet’s Ishmael Butler After Video Surfaces

Erykah Badu has a lot of people wondering whether she’s with child or not. They’re also asking if Ishmael Butler, aka Butterfly from the group Digable Planets, is the father.

The guessing-game started after the soul singer posted a video of herself in a parking lot moving around and modeling her outfit.

Then at one point, she lifted her shirt and rubbed her belly twice while the song “A Mess,” played by Shabazz Palaces, a Seattle based group that includes Ishmael as one of its members. Badu also captioned the video with the words “Ishhues wit trust,” a definite play on words with rapper’s name.

Ishmael also has a son with SWV’s Coko Clemons, and Badu has a son with Outkast’s Andre 3000, a daughter with The D.O.C. and a daughter with New Orleans MC Jay Electronica, which for some reason gave fuel to the pregnancy rumor.

“When two meteorites collide,” wrote one Instagram user. “Hopefully an album too.”

Erykah also received a slew of congratulations but others weren’t as eager to celebrate.

“Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see,” someone commented. “If Badu ain’t say she pregnant then she’s probably not. Stop it.”

Earlier this year, rumors flied that Badu and Ish were an item after they tagged each other in a few photos. In fact, on Sept. 7 the “On & On” singer shared a picture of Ishmael walking from behind and wrote “If he look back we go together.”

But some still weren’t convinced the social media flirtation meant that Ish and the singer were having a child together.

“I’m confused,” someone wrote. “They only really started kicking it in September when she professed her love on here. Like how do we know that she’s preggo?”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
