Sugar Mama Erykah Badu SPLITS with 27-year-old ‘rapper’…reportedly gave him 8 weeks ‘severance pay’!!

Erykah Badu is a single woman again, Media Take Out has learned. The beautiful soul singer, 51, was dating a 27-year-old singer and rapper named Jaron The Secret.

As reported by Media Take Out, Erykah was head over heels in love with Jaron and bought a house for the two to live in together. Erykah also paid all the bills and supported Jaron financially while he worked on his music career.

Essentially, Erykah “sponsored” the young man and acted as his “sugar momma”. And like most “sponsor” relationships… it’s over.

Media Take Out spoke to a person close to Erykah who told us the couple is officially over. The friend explained, “They decided to break up.”

But that’s what we’re told too Erykah doesn’t throw her husband out on the street. The friend told us that Erykah plans to continue paying his bills for the next few months until Jaron can get back on his feet.

How generous of her…
