Erykah Badu's Mama's Gun Tour & Album Buzz | Biography Flash

Erykah Badu Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Erykah Badu is making major headlines this week for both her music and her public persona. The most significant news is her official announcement of the "Return of Automatic Slim Tour: Erykah Badu Mama’s Gun '25," a 25th anniversary global celebration of her breakthrough album Mama’s Gun. The tour will launch in October 2025 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and hit major cities across North America and Europe, including Chicago, Brooklyn, Dallas, and iconic stops like London’s Royal Albert Hall and Paris’s Zenith. Tickets for her U.S. dates are already live on her official site, with European sales set to begin this Friday, September 5th. Mastercard is offering early-bird access in the UK, and there’s huge buzz, reflecting how Badu continues to be an enduring creative force as reported by both Theatre Full Stop and Soap Central.

Amid tour excitement, Erykah Badu’s name has trended wildly on social media thanks to the ongoing saga with The Alchemist over their delayed collaborative album Abi & Alan. Although fans and even Badu herself hyped the album for release last Friday, The Alchemist took to X (formerly Twitter) and insisted he never gave an official drop date, causing confusion and a bit of back-and-forth online. Badu responded with humor on Instagram, blaming the producer with a smiley emoji, but clarified for fans that the album is simply not ready yet. This very public and light-hearted exchange has kept both artists in the headlines, and though no new official release date is set, anticipation for Abi & Alan remains intense as reported by HipHopDX and HipHopWired.

Aside from music, Erykah Badu’s business and fashion achievements remain strong—her Apple Trees cannabis line and her curated e-store BaduWorldMarket are thriving, and she recently received the 2024 CFDA Fashion Icon Award. Her continued advocacy for wellness, Black feminist values, and cultural innovation also made waves in a recent magazine roundtable, where her comments about uplifting other women in the industry have drawn praise.

No major recent controversies or negative incidents have surfaced in the past twenty-four hours, and all appearances—both music-related and personal—have been upbeat and focused on legacy and creativity. Badu is trending across social media for the right reasons, driving fresh interest in both her back catalog and new projects.
