WHAT A TEASE! Andre 3000 Says Outkast Is Not Back Together (DETAILS)

An Outkast reunion album has been on the top of hip-hop heads’ wish list for years.

So when a new version of Frank Ocean's Andre 3000-assisted "Pink Matter" hit the net, featuring a verse from Andre's longtime Outkast partner Big Boi, naturally, hip-hop lovers got excited. 

But heads got even more excited when Big Boi tweeted this out:

MUSIC: Frank Ocean Feat. Andre 3000 & Big Boi "Pink Matter [Remix]" 

Using all of this info, we assumed that the two reunited, a remix to T.I.'s "Sorry" with a verse from Big Boi was coming and a new Outkast album was coming soon.

Not so fast.

Yesterday, Andre 3000 sent out a pretty strong statement to SPIN, saying the “Pink Matter” remix was not a reunion or something he even really cosigned.  

DETAILS: Damn Right! Big Boi Will Appear On Frank Ocean's "Pink Matter" With Andre 3000 

Here's what he said:

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

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."

Well...that's that. 

Back in July, when "Pink Matter" - which appears on Frank Ocean's Channel Orange LP - leaked, Big Boi tweeted: 

We wonder where the two actually stand as friends.
