Erykah Badu lashed out at Wayne Coyne after he released an unedited and nudity-filled version of the video for their track, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face."
Coyne issued an apology shortly after it was taken down:
"Sorry!!Sorry!!! Sorry!!!! Video First Time Ever I Saw Your Face is temporarily taken down . . . should be back up Monday!!"
However, the apology was not enough to soothe Badu's anger:
"@waynecoyne then . . . perhaps, next time u get an occasion to work with an artist who respects your mind/art, you should send at least a ROUGh version of the video u PLAN to release b4 u manipulate or compromise the artist's brand by desperately releasing a poor excuse for shock and nudity that sends a convoluted message that passes as art( to some)."
The content in question featured Badu and her sister naked in a bathtub and covered in muck.
