Andre 3000: 'Frank Ocean remix isn't Outkast reunion'

Andre 3000 has insisted that his recent collaboration with Big Boi on a Frank Ocean remix wasn't an Outkast reunion.

The singer appeared alongside his former bandmate on a reworking of Ocean's Channel Orange track 'Pink Matter'. Big Boi was also said to be working on a version of T.I.'s 'Sorry', which already features Andre.



"It's important for me to be clear about the origins of my contributions to 'Pink Matter' and 'Sorry'," Andre told Spin.

"I was approached as a solo artist by both Frank Ocean & Tip. I discussed musical direction with each artist and completed my verses. It was after that when Big Boi's name came up.

"I never want to mislead our audience - I worried that some would think these were Outkast collaborations. These songs are not Outkast collaborations.



"I discussed this rationale with Big, Frank and T.I. and everyone agreed. That is why I was surprised to read about these remixes.

"I understand that anyone can put out an unofficial remix to any song but I have an obligation to be honest with fans about what this is and what it isn't."
