Erykah Badu has had several high profile relationships throughout her 48 years on this planet, including one with comedian/talk show host Rickey Smiley.
On Tuesday (July 9), Ms. Badu hopped on Instagram and revealed just how much disdain she has for Smiley’s mother, Carolita Smiley Lester.
In the caption, Badu claims Lester has gotten physical with her on three (make that four) separate occasions. She says Lester showed up at a recent Dallas show and was waiting for her backstage. Badu says she’s normally able to fight her off but this time, Lester socked her in the jaw.
“This guy . I love . Period,” she begins. “But his mama won’t get out our business. She was at my show in Dallas waiting back stage to fight me again. And I’m tired of it. SIS RELAX. We had 3 fights and I keep laying that ass down. But this time that bitch got me… in the Jaw. I didn’t recognize her cause she was blending in with mary j blige dancers.”

Badu goes on to say Lester’s body only looks young “cause of crack” and cites Smiley’s mom as the reason she and Smiley dissolved their relationship.
“I pressed charges and they let her right back out,” she continued. “Now every time I get to the last song on my set I start taking off my jewelry on stage. I got anxiety .I’m tired. Just …tired.
“She still lift weights. Yes! in 2019. Ion give a DAMN! I swear I’m gone rock her ass if she square up on me again. Bout to see what this ho made of. @rickeysmileyofficial and that’s why we broke up.”
When a fan asked if she was serious, Badu replied, “Yes bitch.”
