Being a boss chick could leave you single, Common has dated 3

Larry Wilmore and Common

During an appearance on the “The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore” on Wednesday night, actor and rapper Common, 42, was asked by the host during the #KeepIt100 segment who was the bossiest out of his three famous ex-girlfriends. He implied Erykah Badu, who he dated from 2000-2002, and she’s definitely a boss chick.

Wilmore asking his four panelists about “bossy black women” in a quick fire round, and when he got to Common , he asked him to name his bossiest celebrity ex-girlfriend.


His options were “professional black athlete, professional black singer or professional black actress.”

Common laughingly replied: “Professional singing black woman,” and Wilmore interjected, “And we all know who we’re talking about.”


Last year, he told “The Combat Jack Show” that Badu knows how to keep any man she dates in line.

Common also dated Serena Williams (2008-2010) and “Empire” actress Taraji P. Henson for a short period.
