The singer and her boyfriend provide too much information

Erykah Badu and her boyfriend, Jay Electronica, have taken “sharing” to a whole new level — by guiding their fans through every minute detail of Badu’s homebirth via Twitter. She logged on first: “Morning! I’m in labour!” He then took over: “Everybody stand back. We’re waiting for the midwife to show” (at which point, you might think, he’d put the keyboard down). Next, the public were kindly informed he was “doing foot rubs when the contractions hit”. Then, newsflash! She was “dilated to 8½cm!”, and soon he was announcing to the world, “I see the head! It’s covered in hair!” (Electronica, lose the keyboard — you’ll drop the baby). Never mind the eeew factor — how annoying must it have been to receive constant updates from a man you don’t know direct from his girlfriend’s birthing pool? Probably almost as annoying as the whole thing was for Badu, who felt so moved by her beau’s global posts on the state of her cervix that she named her baby Mars Merkaba.
