“What y’all think Fatbellybella MEAN? I just be hongry. I feel sick if I don’t eat…& eat,” she added.

The rumours also prompted singer and friend of Badu, Janelle Monae, to tweet: “I just heard you were preggo. Why wouldn’t you tell me Twinn?? Feeling hurt and lost”. The two have previously collaborated on ‘Q.U.E.E.N’, from Monae’s 2013 album, ‘The Electric Lady’.

Badu released her latest album, ‘New Amerykah Part Two’, in 2010.
