Erykah Badu Shows Her Acrobatic Skills In Circus Performance [VIDEO]
Erykah Badu is an artist of many talents. We are all familiar with her belly-dancing skills but did you know that she is also an aerialist?
This past weekend, Ms. Badu performed for the Lone Star Circus’ 10th Anniversary celebration and fundraising event in Dallas, Texas. In the video above, you can see the “On and On” singer showing off her acrobatic skills on the aerial ring.
Prior to the event, Badu had been training on the lyra at the Lone Star Circus School. At 45 years young, it’s good to see that Badu is still flexible and strong as ever. But no, she hasn’t join the circus. But anything could happen if this music thing doesn’t work out for her (*wink*).
There’s no word if Badu performed any aerial tricks at the 2016 Soul Train Awards, as she is the host for this year's ceremony. The awards show will air on Sunday at 8PM ET on BET. Artists Ma$e, Anderson .Paak and D.R.A.M. are scheduled to perform.
Meanwhile, Erykah Badu's fun mixtape, But You Cain’t Use My Phone will get a vinyl release on Record Store Day on Black Friday (Nov. 25). This would be the perfect gift for the ultimate E. Badu fan in your life.
