It was confirmed that the reason Badu branded herself a "terrible guest" was because she failed to oblige to the apparent 'no phone rule' at the party.
Erykah posted a video of herself enjoying the celebration - which led to the Obama's receiving criticism for the lack of masks seen at the party and apparent disregard for COVID guidelines.
