Neo-Soul pioneer Erykah Badu was recently honored with the Fashion Icon Award at the CFDA Awards in New York City on October 29. 

The prestigious award was presented by an ex-boyfriend and musical collaborator, André 3000, who delivered the trophy with a heartfelt introduction. 

“So then she lets me know, ‘I’m getting the CFDA Award, Fashion Icon Award.’ And then our excitement and celebration, we said something like, ‘Wooo! This the one. And what took ’em so damn long to recognize?’” the rapper humorously shared. 

Reflecting on their lasting bond, Badu warmly referred to André as her "best friend." Despite ending their relationship in 1999, they continue to support each other and share a son, Seven Sirius Benjamin.

Nelly is set to relaunch his iconic Apple Bottoms clothing line in November. Speaking to TMZ, he said, “Our goal as a brand remains the same: celebrating ALL women, all shapes and sizes. We have amazing new styles and are ready to shake the fashion world again … we’re back!!!” 

The “Ride Wit Me” emcee revealed that the brand will use new technology to provide jeans with a "stretchy form-fitting feel" and expanded inclusive sizes.

Excited by all the love, Berry, who dressed up as a classic witch, with a black cat and all, took to X to gush, “The girls know how to make my day!”
