Erykah Badu is off the market and Instagram official with her new man, a musician named JaRon Adkison, aka JaRon the Secret.
Erykah, who is 50, kept her 27-year-old boy toy a secret, hence the nickname JaRon the Secret.
She shared a photo of them together on Instagram, wearing identical Cracker Jack box rings on that finger.

This will be Erykah’s first marriage. She shares a son, Seven Sirius Benjamin, 24, with ex-boyfriend, rapper Andre 3000. And she has two daughters: Puma Curry Wright, 17, by rapper The D.O.C., and Mars Mekeba, 12, by rapper Jay Electronica.
The news of the “Window Seat” singer’s May-December relationship with JaRon the Secret caught her fans by surprise. Many of her fans took the news very well. Especially those women of a certain age who are dating younger men.
A Twitter user wrote:
“There’s always a double standard for women. They have no problem with men marrying younger women. Do you Badu and keep going. Screw ’em.”

“Why is it weird for Erykah to be in love with a 27 year old but y’all glorify “sugar daddies”.”

But others were disapproving of the age difference.
One person tweeted: “who knew Erykah Badu was such a creep?”
Another user tweeted:
“27 … Now I know Erykah could’ve summoned a man her age or close to it.”
In response to the ageism comments, Erykah tweeted a photo of a bullet in her grill along with the caption:
“Why every time there is an article about a woman over 30 the journalists mentions the age ? “Erykah bardu’ , 50 does the splits … e. Badu 50, had feelings …” It ain’t my birthday, or death day . So, What does this MEAN ? [crying laughing emoji] (my grill cold tho ).”
