TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Sporting a huge, billowing Afro and a T-shirt with an anti-Iraq war slogan, Erykah Badu said she identifies with Palestinian hip-hop and expressed support for Louis Farrakhan before a crowd of Israeli fans and journalists Thursday.
“I come from across the water bringing light and hope,” the 36-year-old singer said. She is scheduled to perform in Tel Aviv on Saturday night.
