Erykah Badu gave us one more reason to adore her when she crashed a news reporter’s live broadcast over the weekend.
According to the Huffington Post, New York’s Pix11 reporter Mario Diaz was reporting about Shia LaBeouf’s recent arrest when Badu and her very large hat decided to make a cameo. After making goofy faces and gestures, the singer tried to kiss Diaz, but got a shove instead.
The Twitterverse immediately pointed out Badu in the telecast, but she denied it. On Saturday, she finally gave in and confirmed it was her.
nope. “@StevieTrees47: @fatbellybella is that you? https://t.co/toWbpmgp0x”

Diaz later apologized for giving her the New York shove.
@fatbellybella I get it because… “Ain’t no particular sign I’m more compatible with I just want your extra time and your….. kiss”

@fatbellybella #Btw my wife and 2-year-old were 20 yards away when it happened… She saw the roll up, you putting on hat & everything.

We could do with a little Badu in our nightly newscast more often.
