Twenty-five years ago, Erykah Badu released her groundbreaking sophomore studio album, Mama’s Gun. For the decades to come, breakout songs like “Didn’t Cha Know,” “Bag Lady,” “In Love with You” featuring Stephen Marley, and “Time’s a Wastin'” have influenced a generation of musicians.
To celebrate the critically acclaimed body of work’s 25th anniversary, Badu announced a global anniversary tour back in August. With a handful of dates remaining on Mama’s Gun 25: The Return of Automatic Slim Tour, supporters in select cities are fighting to secure tickets in the secondary market.
Fortunately, for those with eyes on Badu’s New York City shows, a second option is now available. Thanks to a partnership with Veeps, the “Window Seat” singer’s closing night (December 6) at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York, can be streamed on the platform.
Beginning at 9 p.m. Eastern, fans from around the world can log into Veeps and watch the triumphant performance from the comfort of their couch. Mama’s Gun: Live from New York is on offer for a one-time purchase of $19.99, the exact price of an all-access monthly subscription to Veeps.
Badu’s two New York City shows carry significant emotional warmth, as much of Mama’s Gun was recorded at the legendary Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village.
On December 9, 2025, at 9 p.m. Eastern, Mama’s Gun: Live from New York will stream live from Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre on Veeps. Find more information here.
