If it's one thing about Ms. Badu, she's going to speak her mind even if she has to stop mid-performance to do so!

During her stop in Atlanta for her #UnfollowMeTour, Erykah Badu took a brief intermission to shoot her shot at They Cloned Tyrone's John Boyega.
"If anybody ever sees John Boyega, tell (him) I said hi. And it's a lot of people in the audience − that's why I wanted to say that, cause there's enough of y'all for one of y'all to get the message to the man, right?" she said in a video shared on Instagram by Netflix's Strong Black Lead account.
With the audience fully invested she asked how old the "fine" actor was to which the crowd responded with "30," which is apparently just her type. "How old is he? He's under 30? Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about," she said.
After her brief rant about Boyega, she continued on with concert, singing "Tyrone," which is featured in Boyega's latest film, They Cloned Tyrone. And in perfect timing, John himself crept on stage to surprise Ms. Badu.
Leaving her speechless momentarily, they embraced each other for a hug before she started gushing "it's John Boyega!"
A master of "multi-tasking," Badu chopped it up with the actor while still performing "Tyrone." "I'm at work, but I can multi-task," she said before switching gears to recite her lyrics.
He stayed on stage with her as she finished the song and they immediately made plans for after the show. "I gotta' finish this. Then we gon' go back to the bus. Is that all right?," she asked to which he replied "yes."
Planting a kiss on her cheek, he agreed to "roll one up" for her before exiting off the stage. We can't help but to wonder what else was waiting for Erykah when she got back to her bus.
