Erykah Badu & Riccardo Tisci Shut Down NYC Subway For Fierce ‘Paper’ Mag Shoot [PHOTOS] All told, Erykah only earned about $3.60. She might have been a little more convincing had she not been dripping in jewelry, but that’s an observation in hindsight. She worked hard for that little bit of money that she did get as she chased people down, hounding them for some cash. Maybe $3.60 is the going rate for a once-in-a-lifetime show? Erykah, girl, you may want to stick to doing regular concerts because people pay upwards of $60 to see you then.

Fayose For a man, whose first tenure as state governor, created a litany of historical anomalies, many had thought that the anticlimax his charged tenure became would short-live his political career. But that was not the case with Fayose, as his relevance grew with every controversy that surrounded him. It was such that every part of the divide found him useful at different times, as evidenced from the role he played in the electoral victory of Dr. Kayode Fayemi in 2010.
