Andre 3000 Reveals Why He Ran Away From Hollywood 

Meet Andre one time and he’s the coolest and nicest famous person you can meet, he actually stopped, dapped us up and talked to us. Much respect to Andre!

A man with his integrity still intact

He said it all simply! I don’t have nothing to talk about anymore. That’s growth, gratitude, humbleness

Andre is HAPPY . let him HAVE THAT . He did the work .

Andre’s music was so unique, it was a breath of fresh air compared to everything else that was playing mainstream at the time.

These artists didnt turn their backs on hiphop, hiphop turned it's back on them...

Andre 3000 is an authentic human being.

3000 save his soul. My dude wanted to keep his Soul.

A wise man can only be fooled once and it appears that he realized what the true cost of fame was and simply said no thanks...

How dare they mention Travis Scott and freaking Future in the same breath as the legendary lyricist Andre 3000. 🙄

Why would anybody troll Andre? Say what you will, but what you DONT hear is Andre's name in the same sentence as Diddy and JayZ and all that nasty BS. I am SO proud of Andre.

I’m glad Andre is doing what makes him happy and keeps him sane. People these days think they have the right to know and judge everything about celebs. Newsflash - WE DO NOT!!! Celebs have the same rights to privacy as we do so if stepping completely away is what he needed, I’m happy Andre had the backbone to do it!!! God bless him!!!!

He kept his soul.

Andre was always unique in the rap scene i always knew there was something defferent about him even when he was in his prime rap game back then, you cant keep a good brother down and out unless he wants you to think that..THATS TRUE WARRIOR TALENT and yall dont even realize his greatness even being out the game this long. Andre is a G. leave him be - hes earned it!

I think André is a beautiful person, and I fully understand and applaud his decision to do what was best for him. People are going to have something to say. It's unavoidable. But real fans will employ empathy and compassion for the person he is instead of only seeing him as a performer for their entertainment. I always said I would much rather be rich but not famous. You lose yourself when everyone knows of you. God bless him. Keep doing you, André.

Love him. He just has awoken, it happens to us too. I feel the same way. Let him be.

He went out ON TOP..& STAYIN THERE

Mad respect for simply being sooo talented and yet humble to even speak this truth..Poppin or not..always be one of the best 🫡

Good for you Andre 3000 for staying away from the mess. Wisdom is key. Salute!

Andre is one of the greatest real facts whatever he talks about and how he says it’s grabs our attention and we be wanting more

I was in Brooklyn one summer and ran into him in an alley. He was just talking on the phone by himself . I was with my cousin who is a famous saxophonist and he was fanboying so hard we stopped and said hello and kept it moving.

Down to earth 🌎 brother an he’s right about what he’s talking about 💯

One intelligent man.. ANDRE IQ 3000

Dudes a fkn genius keeping away from the fame. Hes a personal hero for this shit

One of my favorite rappers, but I’ve always respected him for not moving for a check. He’s dropped more gems in those first 5 OutKast albums than 98% of rappers have in their careers

I have often wondered what happened to Andre and the group. I loved their music, to me it was beautiful and unique.

I will always remember running errands with my aunt and listening to OutKast. My mom wouldn’t let me listen to rap in the house but my aunt was more lenient. Best times of my life!

Much love Andre do your thing man.

That's one brother who didn't sell his Soul to the Industry & I applause him, may Yah continue to bless him and his family🫡🫶👑

True artist work for passion, I don't need saying most of the hiphop in these days is corruption and greed..

I think he’s a true sophisticate. Clap and move on people. 😆

I get it. Dude is very in tune & I completely respect his right to privacy🙏🏼

Dont blame him live ya life king you did a lot

Andre is performing at the Greek Theatre in Hollywood next month, as a long time fan I feel like I have to go. Tickets are cheap, small intimate venue, I mean how could I not?!?!

Andre is an AMAZING Lyricist 7 Artist. He made a conscious decision to leave the music industry and WE have no choice but to accept that and continue to enjoy the musical art he did create over the years. we miss you Andre. I think you made the right move especially considering all that is being revealed left and right about other celebrities.

One of my favorite actors too.

This is a rare & beautiful soul ❤

Andrre is a real g

Come to CHRIST and RELEARN.

I'll never forget where I was and what I was doing the Summer of '94 when I first heard Outkast 'Players Ball' I was an instant fan. Being that I came up in an the era of hip hop when originality was imperative they fit the bill perfectly. Andre 3000's whole body of work make him one of the most creative artist to ever do it!!!

We can all change our careers multiple times and no one bats an eye, why cant he?

It's good that Andre knew when to walk away, to preserve himsel, his sanity.

GOd Bless Andre Benjamin

I am Happy for Andrea do u continue too be happy. When you are a loner people detest it.

Andre 3000 is one of the most intelligent artists and a great example of a Human. In my humble opinion

Bless him, one of the real ones!

Respect to a great

One of the most heavy musician in this whole Hip hop game.

Love this Artist so much. And his recent work is sublime. *_Shout out for Sunny Bridges and The Class of 3000._* THAT was equally sublime watching with my fascinated kids. Thanks m'MAN!

All I'm going to say is " New Blue Sun" is 🔥. It is the album everyone needs in their playlist.

Y’all really overlooking how he absolutely SNAPPED on scientists and engineers. The man doesn’t miss. I’m gonna go listen to his verse again real quick lol

Authenticity 💪🏼💖

Evolution is the word ⚡️

Andre 3 Stacks legendary til infinity✅ #Righteous #CutFromTheWhiteCloth

Contentment is the key to a happy existence.

Class of 300 😮 wow, memory unlocked

I miss him and Big Boi doing music together I wish that he wuld come back and do 1 mo album as Outkast rap can really use that I guess I'm just use too ol' school rappers but ain't nuthn like it

Andre Benjamin 3000! I get it! This music industry is not what it used to be! The cultural engines that spark creativity are no longer around."

You're favorite rappers favorite rapper, is thee only MF DOOM.

We need a Kdot and 3000 collaboration album

"We aren't kids no more...", like some english rapper said long time ago... We like Hip Hop and Rap but We have to Grow... nothing more nothing less... Namaste Haribol Asewe!!!!!!!!!

The fact you said “some of the greatest rappers to do it” and then proceeded to mention Travis Scott, and Future🤨 tells me everything I need to know about this channel 🤦🏼‍♂️

According to Andre? He gave his explanation and reasoning. Fake fans want something he can't and doesn't want to give even though he's already given so much of himself that can always be referenced.

Andre just needs to get on TRT. He's at that age. This is real. Testosterone loss leads to this loss of motivation and confidence and interest. Of course there is burn out and maturity. However...that TRT still can help. He should get his test levels checked

Only if the Kardashians would share Andre 3K philosophy of fame.

High emotional intelligence 🔥

3K is a top 5 Emcee and human

Put Goodie Mob back together

I owned a tattoo shop sum 13-14 years ago. Outkast was supposed to show up. Andra wasn't gotten shop because he was doing a movie. From that point, Andra started doing his own thing. Much love and respect.

I thought he was the one who said THE SOUTH GOT SOMETHING TO SAY what happened with that😂😂😂😂oh no Andre

Feeling it 🌈 then there's the market of gaining the trust of that same 🌍 honestly should have accessed this during all the shutdowns. Music is god's way for us to see our gifts belong to reactions. Outside the mind is 🌈 attention to harmony is the gift.

You put Travis Scott with Three Stacks???!!! Wait, wait, wait.....Stop! 👀😆

Bring the world to the S.W.A.T.S. 3!

I love when i talented artist nakes their thousands and says... "thanks for the check and I'd like to keep my soul" than someone who gets a taste and sells their soul for millions.

Leave him and Asian blah blah where they at!

Great seeing you at JFK terminal with my family as you ate your food. Those days in the record business was reasonable.

When I think of deep lyrics the first the that comes to mind is Shake it like a Polaroid picture

He has always been mt favorite mc and outkast is the run dmc of my generation. The hater's are mad cause they think he sold out cause he is with an asian woman. you like who you like and vise versa. remember hey ya? all the lucy lue's get on the floor

props for bringing up donda

Logically and analytically speaking, i love outkast music especially the first three albums mastered to perfection. Fast forward to 2014, why is andre (my perception) dressed like a tv Missy elliot parody? Respect 6:04 to Andre for taking a different path ✊🏽 Reclaming redefining, presenting and manifesting accordingly. U do you Andre life is lessons.

Went to go see him in Detroit for him newest album. Best concert every. The energy was just amazing

He wanted to be an actor and he didnt get to do it really. I think because he broke up Outkast to be an actor and then it didn't work out he felt very depressed

the fans need to thank Erkykah Badu for this. If he didn't go to her, he wouldn't be in this situation

Daniel day Lewis left Hollywood to become a cobbler…Andre wants to do what Andre wants to do. I’m cool w that.

I think instead of tryna make a rap he should just give sequels to The Love Below, that would be nice. I always felt that was his pocket, therefore he need not compare himself to anybody else and just make art, hell he could play flute in every track, like John Legend and Alicia Keys played the piano in every track in their first couple albums.

My comment: it’s his decision!

3:45 I KNOW y’all did him wrong by putting Andre 300.

Dude.. You're doing WAY too much censorship and it makes the video annoying and distracting to watch. You're allowed to say the word "racist" you know. There's literally no need to beep and blur it out. Lmao Ridiculous..

It was Glenn Gould that said that

I thought Travis Scott played basketball 😮

I feel 3Stacks that’s why I was never a groupie I look 👀 at people as people that’s it.

This video just said that everyone is mad at him because his POSSIBLE partner’s actions, then people wonder why he left the spotlight.

So I'm just trying to understand, by Dre wanting them to do both songs together, did they not want to do it because it was cutting down their stage time or something?

He's just happy and settled just leave him and his woman of choosing alone.

When he got with Erica bydou she mess him up go look at him before her & then look at him after her he ain't been the same since

Not sure about his choice of wife 🤔, but he is talented

How dare she say Andre is your rapper's favorite rapper when that title belongs to MF Doom. This video is utter BS

Hey, That’s My Cousin 😊

I was just close to being big and the girls just went off looking at it for me a chair is a cool thing but when you are there personally and you would never seen that before ever sometime between there and now I have listened to myself and recording and I understand now but wow😲 scary cool you don't think anything is going to happen wrong but just the fact that it happens all at one time and all of them😮😢😊😅😂 it's like hitting a musical g-spot for lack of a better way to put it 🤩😎 I'm cool with the fam and all that because I have seen it mess up people on a multitude of different levels and at the very least if something happens to go wrong everybody knows about it and now you can't go out the house even if it's something good too much is too much😊 and nobody's going to tell the fans that because we love it too 🤓🤩😎

Stop spreading conspiracy theoriea.. Maybe dude dont enjoy being famous
