Just over a week ago, at the Soul Train Awards, Erykah Badu threw some creative shots in Iggy Azalea's direction. Pantomiming a couple of phone calls, the neo-soul legend pretended to turn away Young Thug and her co-parent Andre 3000, playfully declaring that she was "banning rap" from the ceremony. Then she pretended to let Iggy Azalea into the show on the basis that her music "is definitely not rap," even offering to call her an Uber. In response, Iggy hopped on Twitter, laughing off the diss while she announced that her sophomore album is finally finished. Badu ran with the joke, and has addressed it once again today (Dec. 7).

During an #AskBadu session on Twitter, the singer recorded a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek,, half apology to Azalea, whom she says is one of her daughters' favorite artists. Check out the video or read the transcript in its entirety below:

"You know what? I want to do this, for my daughters. I want to apologize to Iggy Azalea because she's one of their favorite artists. And they listen to her all the time. It's for them. But when I really think about it, if y'all love her so much, why don't y'all go be with her then? Go on be with her, y'all. Go on, Puma, go on, Mars. Is Iggy Azalea going to miss the healing seminar to go up to the school, sit across from the teacher, so she can tell you that all y'all been doing is talking to your neighbor, not getting your lesson? Is she? Where's Iggy for that?"
