It’s been 17 years since Erykah Badu gave birth to future “Rockstar” Seven. We must be getting old, because he’s almost legal, and he’s a spitting image of his pops, Andre’ 3000. Take a look at a their son named, Seven Sirius Benjamin below. (Yep, that’s his real name)!

Yep this young dude is almost a grown man. Can you believe that?!! Do you see the resemblance?

In 2012 interview, Erykah semi-hinted to the fact that her heart was never truly over Andre though. Her ex-boyfriend, Common also wrote in his book that while they were dating, the amount of photos Erykah kept around her house of Andre always made him uncomfortable.

Fast forward to today and Erykah and Andre 3000 are in a very good space. In fact, Andre said in a recent interview with Vibe magazine, that Erykah is like a sister to him now. Ain’t that something? Here’s what he said:

“We joke a lot,” André says of his relationship with the unpredictable siren [Erykah Badu]. “People just don’t know our personal life. We joke like that on the phone. She calls me her baby daddy and I call her my baby mama. It’s funny to us now because it’s such a talked-down type term. It is what it is. It’s totally a punch line.” One person that finds the pair’s relationship off-the-wall is Seven [their son].

“Our son…tells us, ‘You guys are nuts,’” André laughs. “Erykah and I are cool friends, man. We talk on the phone. She even asks my advice on relationships. She’s like a cool sister more than anything. The first thing people would think about us is, ‘Oh, they don’t get along.’ But there are always feelings when people grow apart. It’s something you have to get through. But man, we are cool.”

It looks like Erykah and Andre got that co-parenting thing down to a science, that’s a good thing.
