Erykah Badu Awkwardly Crashes Local NYC Newscast
Erykah Badu awkwardly interrupted a local Pix11 newscast in New York on Saturday.
As reporter Mario Diaz was doing a live shot discussing Shia LaBeouf's latest legal issues, Badu walked up and tried to kiss him.
Diaz pushed the singer away while telling viewers he "couldn't avoid a fan just now," without realizing who the intruder was.
Badu later tweeted an apology to Diaz:
@MarioPIX11 sorry Mario. :-)))))

But clearly the reporter wasn't offended, tweeting back with the Prince lyrics:
@fatbellybella I get it because... "Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with I just want your extra time and your..... kiss"

@fatbellybella #Btw my wife and 2-year-old were 20 yards away when it happened... She saw the roll up, you putting on hat & everything.

After Diaz promised "Next time I won't do the NYC push back," the two began joking about the incident:
What street u gone be on today ? :-) "@MarioPIX11: Just another Monday right @fatbellybella ?"

Badu had a busy weekend. After crashing the newscast and performing with Dave Chappelle at Radio City Music Hall, she performed Saturday at a block party in Brooklyn to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing."
