Real Life: Erykah Badu is Releasing Incense Inspired by Her Vagina

blame it on Shake February 5, 2020

Back in October, Erykah Badu told InStyle magazine that she was gearing up to launch an online store called Badu World Market–which was inspired by the NYC bootleg parody store and streetwear label Chinatown Market.

With an overall goal to “encourage networking among smaller brands and prestigious art houses,” the “hub to share space with all people” will feature everything that interests her–including bespoke clothing and accessories, as well as apothecary goods and traditional music merchandise.

Perhaps the most surprising item that will be on sale (once the store finally launches later this month) is incense… that smells like her vagina.

Yes, you read that right.

“There’s an urban legend that my pussy changes men,” Badu told 10mag. “The men that I fall in love with, and fall in love with me, change jobs and lives.”

“I took lots of pairs of my panties, cut them up into little pieces and burned them,” she says of the process behind creating the product, simply dubbed Badu’s Pussy. “Even the ash is part of it.”
