Badu — whose first livestream performance was dubbed “Apocalypse One” — admitted charging so little is not sustainable but insisted that she will start to charge more.
She explained: “It’s not sustainable, but I’m going out into the wilderness to walk a path that has not been created yet. I didn’t know what I was doing at first and I was petrified, and when it was finished, we all exhaled — but not too deep, in this climate!
“‘Apocalypse Two’ was $2, and ‘Apocalypse Three’ will be $3, and as I progress my productions will get more elaborate as well. I go by what the people want — they want to support me and they want me to charge more because they say it’s worth more.”
