Pregnant soul star Erykah Badu has lashed out at critics who slammed her decision to have a third child out of wedlock.

The singer, who has kids by Outkast star Andre Benjamin and The D.O.C., was appalled when she read online comments about her decision to have another baby - reportedly fathered by Jay Electronica - and decided to fire back with a post on her own website.

She rages, "How dare you disrespect the queendom? I've never been so disgusted in all of my life... (You can) kiss my black placenta. Every relationship I've ever been in was because I loved the person dearly and was dedicated to us exclusively for a number of years.

"The fathers of my children are my brothers and friends. We have a great deal of respect for one another and always will... Would it look better to marry and divorce and marry again? Would that be morally correct?"
