Andre 3000 Reveals Why He Ran Away From Hollywood

[@JumaaneDale]

A man with his integrity still intact

[@knightryderbelow]

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!

Wow, your reply is 🤯 Totally reminds me of my first $80k earn from LARRY FRED videos on KZbin 💯

[@dawb86]

it's crazy how many people have this same story about him and dude is a multiplatinum selling, multiple Grammy winning musical legend lol

[@sepper100]

@@dawb86 he lives a slow paced and simple live. This guy likes to hang out at the laundromat! He's so cool. :)

[@tayarihorcey4074]

I pray that they leave him alone

[@C9H0S]

😂😅😊

[@BlokRRR]

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

[@ramsesstafford4640]

Right and when he does do verse for somebody on their song he actually has something to talk about and it's never the same old same old I'm so cool I'm so rich type of crap most rappers talk about 24/7.

He kept his soul.

[@buffy1160]

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

[@nancyedwards1920]

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

[@kenyettascurlock4751]

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

[@enk00769]

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...

[@shantaivercaine1285]

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

[@samiak112]

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

[@sheilaspence1250]

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.

[@Philliwolf5]

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.

[@ScoobyGangHome]

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!!!!

[@eleanorwalmsley635]

Well said ❤

[@blindoptimist3351]

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?!?!

[@BSM7702]

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!

[@delicategenius6113]

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

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

[@MySkinnydip]

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!

[@regbeballing]

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

[@jwhite3578]

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.

[@Jayp465]

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

[@SmEiF-]

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

[@jelly7310]

One of my favorite actors too.

[@devin837]

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.

[@81quiroz]

Even though I wish he would make one album with words I know he is doing something most of us wish we can do and that’s living life on our own terms and not someone else or letting what others say get to us . He is walking to the beat of his own drum

[@MarvelousActions]

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

[@elonmartin5065]

Dont blame him live ya life king you did a lot

[@dereklewis8934]

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!!!

[@kidrich6902]

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🫡🫶👑

[@gregoryyarbrough7765]

The man is humble. Can't you all see it on him? His whole oral is humble. No, he don't want to be a part of Hollywood and all of their bull crap. I'm so glad he didn't join Hollywood. I was wondering what happened now. I know he backed away. They didn't gaslight him and blacklist him. He turned them down. That feels so good to hear some like that. A real man represent the brothers out here man you do that shit Andre you stand your ground. We mentally support you with your decision. Everybody need to follow suit but it's too late. They already wrapped up in Hollywood too much. This man should have been a motivational speaker. He has that critique that demeanor that character that posture. He has the speech and the vocal accord to address a crowd

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

We need a Kdot and 3000 collaboration album

[@MaineGer]

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.

[@austinatomTV]

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

[@EvanBlack11]

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

[@flashback7273]

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

[@lanebo6329]

Rap is the most psy-op genre and he seen it from the jump, 808s got a person in a state of confusion flutes/woodwinds/strings/etc complement critical thinking

[@flashback7273]

@@lanebo6329 Yeah that's nice too. But regardless of psyops rap is a legitimate skill and art form. Proven by Andre 3000 and Common and many others. Books are bad too and full of indoctrination depending on which one you read. But yeah I get it he's on another level. But his flows were never a party to that psyop genre

[@dman4715]

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.

[@jazzymoni7750]

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

[@kyleshepard8894]

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

Just goes to show that money, fame are not everything. Use your own judgment and do what makes you happy not what people think you should do. Think for yourself.

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.

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

[@lostintheark5728]

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.

[@clicheguevara5282]

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..

[@Nickecho7979]

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.

[@mobeus84]

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
