Erykah Badu Sparks Controversy with Sign Language Video on Instagram
Erykah Badu is facing backlash for a video she posted on Instagram, in which she appeared to mock sign language interpreters. The video showed her imitating a sign language interpreter during a CNN report, and many of her followers found it disrespectful and insensitive. Some criticized her for making a mockery of a language that is crucial for the deaf community, while others defended her, saying she was mocking those who pretend to know sign language. Badu has since removed the video from her profile.
