Singer Erykah Badu was amongst the many airport travelers stranded nationwide due to winter storms but she handled it all with a smile.

Badu (and her big azz hat) was on attempting to fly to L.A. from Dallas earlier this week when she was approached by CBS Dallas/Fort Worth reporter Steve Pickett, who was reporting live on all the cancellations at the airport.

When asked about her flight’s delay, and Erykah replied, “It’s hard out here for a pimp, you know?” with a totally straight face then proceeded to make funny faces as the reporter closed out the segment.

Just FYI… it isn?t the first time Badu crashed a live shot…

She’s awesome! 😆 At least this time the reporter knew who she was….
