The original incident happened on March 13 at Dealey Plaza -- the location of President John F. Kennedy's assassination -- when Badu, real name Erica Abi Wright, was shooting a music video for her single 'Window Seat', the Press Association reported.
Performing a walking striptease among unsuspecting members of the public, one sworn complaint from a witness was enough for police to charge the 39-year old with disorderly conduct. Dallas city spokesman Frank Librio confirmed the resultant $500 (£320) fine has been paid.
The video for 'Window Seat' sees the singer walking and running through Dealey Plaza, shedding clothes as she goes, while for the finale Badu drops naked to the ground after a gunshot rings out.
So far Badu has been unavailable for comment.
