The controversial moment occurred during her appearance at the prestigious event, where she was seen on stage wearing a striking outfit that exaggerated a large backside and big thighs, which many viewers interpreted as a nod to the popular cosmetic procedure that enhances the size of the buttocks.

Erykah Badu’s outfit immediately caught the attention of both fans and critics, leading to mixed reactions online. While some people saw her bold fashion choice as a humorous jab at the BBL trend, others applauded her for encouraging body positivity, particularly for plus-size women, by making them feel comfortable and confident in their skin.

The outfit’s exaggerated features, which some fans perceived as mocking the BBL trend, have spurred a lively discussion on social media platforms. [@Blackvein90](https://twitter.com/Blackvein90) posted: “There is no fucking way that this is that woman’s body. Seriously, what the flying fuck is that?”. Meanwhile, [@Fulloflife](https://twitter.com/Fulloflife) offered a thought-provoking perspective, saying: “I was thinking it was a message about Sarah Baartman, the enslaved woman who was put on display for her body. Showing how black women are put on display in the music industry in the same manner.”

Other social media users, such as [@Nyhtride](https://twitter.com/Nyhtride), expressed a similar sentiment, commenting: “I’m sure there’s a jab at BBL there. As it’s what’s currently running the minds of black female artists and black women.” On the other hand, [@Walternel](https://twitter.com/Walternel) mentioned: “She’s obviously clowning but at the same time conveying a message.”

Some users had a lighter reaction to the outfit, with [@verymuchire](https://twitter.com/verymuchire) humorously commenting, “Why she dressed like that girl who got rejected by Uber?” The various comments show that while Erykah Badu’s outfit may have poked fun at the BBL trend, it also ignited deeper conversations about body image, the objectification of black women, and the influence of the beauty standards perpetuated by the entertainment industry.
