Give Erykah Badu an A for effort.
And a W for weird.

Badu initially denied that it was her in the segment, but she later confirmed her unusual appearance with an apology to Diaz via Twitter.
Diaz replied with some sympathetic Prince lyrics from the track "Kiss" and then promised, "Next time I won't do the NYC push back."
So all is well that ends well... and strangely. We guess.
