Erykah Badu Says The Alchemist Pulled the Plug on Their New Album at the Last Minute

Erykah Badu is letting fans in on a little behind-the-scenes tea — and it involves none other than The Alchemist.

Full story below…

During a recent chat, the neo-soul royal revealed that she and the legendary producer had an album in the works, but things came to a halt just before the finish line.

On August 28, she went on Instagram Live to explain and said:

“The Alchemist told me to tell y’all the album is not dropping at midnight.”.

‘Abi & Alan’ is a highly anticipated collaboration with producer The Alchemist. The delay stung, but anticipation remains. In June, Badu premiered ‘Next To You,’ the first single, at her Juneteenth concert in Dallas and left fans wanting more.

While it’s unclear if the project will ever see the light of day, Badu reassured listeners that she’s still cooking up new music.
