Taking to Instagram on Friday, May 15, 2026, the Wonder God hitmaker shared heartbreaking images of the charred remains, where only blackened metal frames and soot-covered walls now stand.
In the post, Badu explained that he had been troubled by a dream of a house ablaze.
"I cautioned my wife repeatedly about the dangers of fire to our children. It wasn’t until later that I realised the house in my dream belonged to my parents," he wrote.
The news reached him during a Tuesday, May 13, 2026, sermon when he noticed a "flurry of missed calls" from his father.
Stepping aside to return the call, he was met with his mother’s voice, filled with tears of gratitude that they were still alive.
