So we all know that Erykah Badu is always full of surprises and what she just did at a circus is no different.

Ms. Badu, the women with eclectic style and a serial risk taker by nature, popped up at a circus recently and shocked the mixed audience, some of whom probably didn’t even know who the hell she was.

Well if they didn’t know before, now they know. Watch Erykah briefly perform at the circus on a floating circular fixture, showing the world that curvy girls can do it too…

Go ‘Head Erykah! No what some may not know is that Erykah has a background in trained dancing, word on the old school curb is that in high school she was more known as a dancer than a singer.

Here are a few other past risk taking E. Badu moments we dig:

ERYKAH’S STREET PEDDLER POP UP SHOW

Not too long ago, Erykah Badu took to the street with nothing but her singing ability and a hat to collect tips from passers-by in New York’s Times Square. She sang to random people who seemingly ignored her and ended up collecting about $3.60 or so. LOL, gotta love Erykah.

WINDOW SEAT VIDEO

In the video “Window Seat” video, Erykah takes off ALL of her clothes on a crowded public downtown Dallas street, the same street where the late President John F. Kennedy was shot. She later stated in an interview, that the reason she kept looking around in the video was because she was looking out for police out of fear that she and her small film crew were going to get arrested in the middle of filming.
