Last weekend, Big Boi released a remix of Frank Ocean’s André 3000–featuring “Pink Matter,†and normal people who can experience joy thought, Hey, it’s kind of an Outkast reunion! Wrong. André gave the following statement to Spin: “It’s important for me to be clear about the origins of my contributions to ‘Pink Matter’ and [Big Boi’s planned remix of] ‘Sorry.’ 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 … 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.†André 3000 is the reason we can’t have nice things (because he takes them away from us).
