10 Things Erykah Badu Can't Live Without | 10 Essentials | GQ Germany
Erykah Badu, four-time Grammy winner, 90s music and fashion idol and now GQ Germany's 'Music Icon Of The Year' shows in this episode of 10 Essentials the things that give her good energy and that she can't live without. From magical bells that not only attract fairies to her very personal Badu incense sticks, find out about her famous skull grillz, amulets and talismans and the effect of her golden sequinned panties. Her favourite shoes are just as much a part of her "essentials" as her daughter Puma, who gives her the perfect make-up look. See for yourself!

She bought one of my friend's old house for her mother back in the day in Dallas! Erykah signed her closet door and she took that door with her to every new house she moved in! My old hair stylist used to braid her hair, also! Both of them had nothing but amazing things to say about her energy and the way she treats ppl! 😍

My day got better just watching this. She is a generational gem.
She is not kidding about people falling in love with her. Twice, I've had front row at her concert and she held my hand when she sang to me. Her energy is magical. It felt spiritual.
I saw Miss Badu live in the very southwest of Germany back in 2011. It was a very spiritual experience. Her spirit was very present. Such a great memory I'll never forget. Thanks for that.

Message to Erykah, I want you to know that YOU are a waterfall of life and a mother to me. You helped make people beautiful to me. My mama is sick and has always been sick, I was raised by a very insecure and anxious woman. She is still alive but left life behind, shes on drugs in the street. I always try to reach out to her but she doesn't want to stop. I miss her so much everyday. I want u to know that you help me cope with losing her everyday, seeing you be such a good mother, and feeling your energy flow across the planet. I love you Erykah, and I want to be the best me I can be, with all of your help. Thank you eternally 💖
