Erykah Badu and her teenage daughter, Puma Curry, became trending Twitter topics over the weekend. Why, you ask? Because…butts. The mother-daughter duo shared multiple photos of their backsides to Instagram, eliciting a waterfall of comments on social media. And they weren’t entirely positive.

Sure, some people were marveling at the sight of Ms. Badu’s 51-year-old butt in all its glory—but then came the Netizens. You know, those people who spend all day on the internet just waiting to talk s###.
“Growing up is realizing Erykah Badu is really a nut and not much of an idol at all,” one person wrote, while another asked, “Wasn’t Erykah Badu slandering young girls showing off their bodies and attracting older men? Her daughter is a teenager (18) and here we are.”
The latter comment refers to a 2016 tweet from Badu that read: “if I had a school I would make sure that the uniform skirt length was a nice knee length… It is fair to everyone.”
Some find to be Badu’s photos hypocritical and accuse her of exploiting her daughter’s sexuality. Others are wondering how Puma’s father, The D.O.C., feels about it. What do you think? Check out some of the comments below.
Erykah Badu got these grown men salivating over her 18 yr old daughter. Nasty work

Nobody will say it cuz it's "neo-soul queen" Erykah Badu, but her and her daughter showing off their a#### together is weird.

So @fatbellybella posted this of her and her 18 year old daughter to show that they both got nice behinds. Ever seen a dad post something like this? Would people think it was ok if one did? Why do so many black women sexualize and exploit their own daughters? pic.twitter.com/JxWS1JYrSs

Erykah Badu represents a lot of mothers today that are exploiting their daughters sexuality

Those pics if Erykah Badu and her daughter are inappropriate. There's no way in hell I'm posting ass shots of my daughter ever.

Yes, i saw the Erykah Badu pic. She is a certified demon and any man who enjoys their peace should stay far far away from that lady. I totally understand why Andre 3000 was dressing like a civil war confederate soldier now!! 😫😫 pic.twitter.com/6ODGLecQ8f
