From her groundbreaking debut Baduizm in 1997 to her 2025 collaboration with Rapsody on 3:AM, Erykah Badu has carved out a singular path as one of music’s most distinctive and innovative voices. Blending soul, funk, hip hop, jazz, and gospel, the Houston-born artist has become more than just a performer, she’s a cultural force. Beyond her acclaimed discography, she launched BaduWorldMarket.com, founded a livestreaming platform, introduced her cannabis brand That Badu in partnership with Cookies, and in 2024 received the prestigious CFDA Fashion Icon Award.

Now, Badu is returning to the global stage with “The Return of Automatic Slim Tour: Mama’s Gun ’25”, celebrating the 25th anniversary of her revolutionary second album. Originally released in 2000, Mama’s Gun cemented her reputation as a visionary, pairing neo soul grooves with socially conscious lyricism. Songs like Bag Lady, Didn’t Cha Know?, and Cleva became anthems that shaped a generation and continue to resonate worldwide.

The anniversary tour kicks off in October 2025 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles before traveling across North America and Europe, hitting legendary venues including London’s Royal Albert Hall, Paris’s Zénith, Berlin’s Uber Eats Music Hall, and Rome’s Santa Cecilia. Fans can expect reimagined arrangements of Mama’s Gun classics alongside gems from her deep catalog, all delivered with the transcendent energy that makes her concerts part live show, part spiritual journey.

Erykah Badu isn’t just revisiting her past, she’s reasserting why her art, voice, and presence remain vital nearly three decades into her career. This tour isn’t just a celebration of Mama’s Gun; it’s an invitation to witness a living icon redefine her legacy in real time.
