GROWING UP FAST: SEVEN BENJAMIN
Seven Benjamin,13, the son of musicians Erykah Badu and Andre 3000, was recently photographed with his dad. Seven is Andre’s only child; Erykah has two other children from previous relationships.
Here is a fun fact: Badu reportedly named her son “Seven” because “it’s a divine number which can’t be divided.”

Previous relationships?
Do the math. Seven is the oldest of Badu’s three children, so his siblings are not from “previous relationships.” Subsequent relationships, more like.
thank you for saying that…that was bugging me too.
She didn’t name him Seven just because it “can’t be divided”. She also said the number seven is divine (which people believe because of the religious symbolism attached to it). And I’m sure she’s smart enough to know that seven is divisible by one because ALL NUMBERS ARE DIVISIBLE BY 1. At least she has a viable reason for naming him Seven, I’ve seen a lot of stupid names in my day.
Seven’s dad is a jerk who plays with women’s hearts. Andre 3000 sleeps with women and lies to them all the time. Then he never calls back. What a total liar he is. Women – Andre will say anything to get into your pants like talking about having a daughter or being with you but he is lying the whole time. He has 3 steady girlfriends that he hides and will tell you he is single.
LOL Dear Linda,
You’re so sad! lol Which man doesn’t say that? If you’ve been played, blame the game, not the player boo boo.
You’re so so sad!
Dang he looks 9 or something,maybe because he’s sitting down.Anybody notice the Penta water.I’m drinkin that right now.Its the best bottled water ever.And wow Seven used to be so light as a baby.

You know artists are touched! Look the rock star Frank Zappa. He named his child moon-unit! I guess Erika figured her kids would have a lot of company, lol.
LMAO!
I had no idea what this boy looked like until now. Thanks BCK! He is adorable.
the number 3 can’t be divided, the number 5 can’t be divided, the number 9 can’t be divided, and so on with all odd numbers. I get really tired of people trying to be “outside the box” with naming their kids. nonetheless, it’s none of my BI!
actually 9 can be divided by 3 and technically any number can be divided by 1. Why didn’t she just name him zero then?
HE’S A CUTIE PIE!! I KNOW THIS CHILD HAS SOME MUSIC IN HIM BECAUSE BOTH OF HIS PARENTS ARE SOOO TALENTED!
Her eldest child is a son named Seven Sirius, born in 1997.
same kid sweetheart..
Ummm is it just me….cause this boy does not look 13!!!! He look about 8 in this pic. He is cute though.
Looks just like his dad. You’d think if he chooses to go the music route he’ll be a powerhouse coming from to enormously talented parents.
He is such a cutie. He is a good combo of mom and dad but more so mom to me.
Aww he has his mom’s smile but looks just like his father. Handsome kid.
Wow…is he really 13? He looks like he is 7 in this picture. Time really flies b/c I remember when he was born and she was sending shots out to her baby in the first live album.
Oh man, I definitely remember the booklet photos of the “Live” album. Very beautiful shots.
I actually like the reasoning behind his name. I wondered why she named her son after a number lol. He looks really young in this picture, is it recent?
He was such a doll in that pic in the carrier wrap with his mom, I plan to use those with any children I may have, so sweet.
He’s growing up to be a handsome young man, I dont see a strong resemblance to either parent though.
I wonder if this is an old picture? He looks so small. I hope this isnt due to Erykah’s “healthy lifestyle”
I was thinking the same thing. He looks young. That is not a bad thing. Im sure he is not eating all the growth hormones kids ingest via cow milk and animal flesh. Organic living. He will hit puberty when his body is ready not when some growth hormone speeds it up.
Amen…that’s why there are 6 foot tall 10 year old boys and 8 year old girls getting pregnant… speeding up all these hormones in kids to jumpstart their lives into debt hell and early graves.
he looks like his momma to me
In the picture with Erycka, he looks like her, but in the picture with his father, he looks like him..weird
He looks so young, is he 13 in this picture?
WOW! I haven’t seen Seven since he was 3 or younger. He looks so much like Andre. What a beautiful baby!
Lookin just like his daddy.
Are there any pics of Mars?
I would like to see Mars too. Up until this photo of Seven I’ve only seen Erykah’s youngest child, Puma.
Cute he looks like dad. Outkast need to come back out with more music…I miss that group along with TLC.
