Erykah Sings For Money In Times Square

Erykah Badu has shared an amusing video in which she attempts to sing for money in the middle of Times Square, home to ambitious buskers and weirdos in Spider-Man suits. She attempts to do this anonymously, but of course, it’s difficult for anyone who’s anyone to walk around anywhere in New York without getting noticed. At one point, she breaks off from her introductory monologue to pose for a photo, after which she takes off her hat—”so that people won’t know who I am.” Guess how much she makes: enough for a slice of dollar pizza? Some self-serve frozen yogurt? A meal at Shake Shack? Barely.
