Singer Erykah Badu, who is currently touring with Floetry, is expecting again, according to New York's WQHT. The station reported that Badu was expecting her second child and that the father-to-be was none other than The D.O.C.
The D.O.C. released his critically acclaimed platinum debut, No One Can Do It Better, in 1989 but shortly thereafter the rapper suffered a near-fatal car accident that crushed his larynx and severely damaged his voice.
The rapper re-grouped and was instrumental in the formation of Dr. Dre and Suge Knight's Death Row Records as a ghostwriter. The D.O.C. attempted to revive his career in 2003 with the release of his third album, Deuce.
Calls to Badu's label, Motown Records, were not returned at press time.
Badu already has a 6-year-old son, Seven, by Andre 3000 of OutKast. The singer has also been romantically linked to Common in the past.
