Andre 3000, of Outkast recently told MTV, "Yesterday I got a phone call from Big Boi and he said that on some hip-hop Web sites that the headlines were reading something to the effect of, ‘It’s Official: Outkast Is Broken Up,’ or something like that," Andre said. "And man, we’re looking at it like, where is this sh– coming from?"
The split rumours recenlty gained momentum when the two band mates filmed their video segments separately. Andre 3000 explained that his schedule has been very hectic lately, saying, "Big Boi knows I’m in no position to be thinking about hitting the stage. … I’m just more focused on producing and writing."
