Weird Names of Music Performer's Children:

- Seven - Erykah Badu is part of the 5% nation in this 'religion'. The number 7 means God, which is maybe why she named her son this. Submitted by: Shariyan

- Seven - Supposedly, Erykah named her son Seven because of the fact that it's a number that can be divided by nothing but itself. Pretty heady, but it does give you something to chew on. Submitted by: Eric Andrews

Hidden Tracks:
"Honey"
Badu made a video for the song, and it was released as a single in support of her NEW AMERYKAH PART ONE (4TH WORLD WAR) album, but it is not listed on the cover or the packaging. It is the uncredited 11th track. Some fans felt the single had nothing to do with the rest of the album, which has a concept/theme running through it, and some claimed they felt cheated because they wanted the album to sound like "Honey".
