Erykah Badu knows a thing or two about spotting talented rappers, so it’s no surprise that she came to show love to the head wolf Tyler The Creator from the skyrocketing group Odd Future.

The raucous crew performed cuts from their respective releases like Tyler’s hit single “Yonkers,” while rocking ski masks over their faces and prompting the crowd to chant “Golf Wang” as they stage dove into the audience.

Erykah Badu then took the stage, and played drums with indie duo Matt & Kim, who are credited for inspiring her controversial “Window Seat” video.

After the set, Tyler made sure to tell the world via twitter about his experience with Miss Badu, by saying:

“I Fu**ing Love Her!”

With African-American women, they are unfavorably characterized as baby mamas looking for welfare and government assistance, gold diggers, angry, financially unstable, lovers of thugs, e.t.c.
