Erykah did not allude to the exact reason for the apology but we know that she did attend Obama’s 60th and appeared to have a great time as seen in now-deleted videos and pictures.
Barack and Michelle Obama became the targets of criticism due to the party, many saying they ‘refuse to follow the same rules as everyone else.
Donald Trump Junior shared his opinion when the NY Post broke their story:
The comments on Twitter regarding Erykah’s apology seemed to have opened up the conversation again:
“sacred event” – ridiculous, it was a luxurious birthday party with hundreds of people done at a time many people in the US are loosing their livelihoods.

It’s just a video ma, he probably isn’t even mad. But my real question is…. is your real name Erica like how you signed because all these years I thought it was Erykah.

When Erykah was questioned about taking down a video and being “made” to apologize publicly, she noted that “It’s just the right thing to do”
