The singer claimed, “She was at my show in Dallas waiting backstage to fight me again. And I’m tired of it. SIS RELAX. We had 3 fights and I keep laying that a** down. But this time that b***h got me... in the jaw.”

“I pressed charges and they let her right back out. Now every time I get to the last song on my set I start taking off my jewelry on stage. I got anxiety. I’m tired. Just ...tired,” Eryka said. “She still lifts weights. Yes! In 2019. I don’t give a DAMN! I swear I will rock her a** if she squares up on me again. She’s about to see what this ho made of."
The “Bag Lady” singer ended her post, “Rickey ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ and that’s why we broke up..”
A fan asked Erykah if she was serious about the incident and she replied, "Yes b***h."
The feud between Erykah and Rickey’s mom seems to have been going on for years. On February 26, 2019, the comedian shared a throwback video on YouTube from 2011 where Erykah roasted his mom during stand up. “I can’t stand your mama,” she tells Rickey in the clip.
