Erykah Badu kept everyone (including Scanner Brian) waiting for her free show at SXSW last week, but she had a good reason. Some obsessive wack job was camped out outside her house.
She twittered it, too, under her handle "fatbellybella": "Police just apprehended a stalker in front of my house. Stay tuned to details."
Here are some of those details...
Driving to Austin now. Just got on road .. Had to file police report .
Poor chic is apparently sick . I feel so awful . Police pepper sprayed her and cuffed her .
White woman mid to late 20's had visited my home 3 or so times . Brought w/ her weird writtings .
I was kind to her first 3 times . I knew something was off . She was wearing a dilla shirt today .
When I came outside she had flowers lined up in front of my house and
had spray painted the no parking sign with a peace symbol .
She had several misc. Items spread out in the grass . Blue shutters, a
rabbit, a tucan , and a sketch book...
I'm gonna be late for my show ... Messing around with her .
Passing thru Waco now...with dilla played loud .
So .. The lady came to the house 1st time today around 1pm .. After
light threats from me and fam she left . Was parked ok the grass in
front of my house
So she comes back 30 Min later .. By this time I feel violated for real
.. Cause o girl wasn't threatened at all .
Had no choice but to put the ipolice In it . Tried to reason . I felt so bad for her and her dog .
When she saw cops she took off running behind neighbors house
... Obviously she had been to jail b4 cause she wanted no parts of that
By this time there were 6 cop cars , ambulance and a fire truck ..
3 officers chased her on foot whole we all watched .
She finally comes " walking " calmly around corner toward one cop car with that big ass dog
Cop snatched her hand behind her back and she began resisting violently..
Damn I'm late
Hold on my people .
... Anyhow, all I could think of while all this is going on is .. I'm gone be on media take out .. LOL
... Or bossip.com
Scanner Brian adds: "It seemed strange that no one mentioned she would be late. Her group came out without her, late already, kept chanting her name and then abruptly left the stage right at 8pm. The lights went down, so everyone left, angry. As we were at the exit gate, Badu suddenly took the stage, played two songs, and disappeared again. Apparently, they had run out of time and still had to get Explosions in the Sky onstage. Oh well, whatever."
When cops pepper-sprayed, then arrested the fan outside Badu's house, the stalker had arranged various items, like blue shutters, a rabbit, a toucan and a sketch book. Ummm, we would have called the cops, too.
