André 3000’s Bio,

The legendary rapper was born on André Benjamin27. May 1975, Sharon Benjamin-Hodo’s only child. Growing up with his single mother, who was a real estate agent, he had to relocate frequently. He attended Willis A. Sutton Middle School and then enrolled at Tri-Cities High School for the Performing Arts, where his rap talent manifested itself. While at school, he got involved in a series of rap battles to further hone his talent.

While at school, he met Outkast’s second, Antwan “Big Boi” Patton. They soon formed a rap duo “2 Shades Deep” and went to different places to entertain people. They were signed under the LaFace label soon after an audition with their co-founder LA Reid. By 1993 they had changed their name to “Outkast” and soon released their first single, Players Ball , which went platinum, stayed at No. 1 on Billboard’s rap singles chart for six weeks, and became Best New Rap Group at the 1995 Source Awards of the year. By this time André 3000 had quit smoking and adjusted to his career. In 1994 their debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik was releasedwas released and ranked at #3 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Her second and third albums; ATLiens (1996) and Aquemini (1998) were soon released and the duo continued to carve out a niche for themselves.

In 2001 another album Big Boi and Dre Present…OutKast was released, featuring one of their singles “The Whole World” which earned the duo a Grammy Award for “Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group”. In 2003, the duo released Speakerboxxx / Die Liebe unten , which highlighted the individuality of the two’s—André 3000 and Big Boi—music styles.

It seemed like an endless hiatus until 2007 when André returned to rap. He had appeared on music videos such as; Walk It Out and throw some D’s and some others. In November 2010, 3000 was featured on the remix of Chris Brown’s single “Deuces”. He went on to make multiple appearances in more music videos.

He also lived in the world of movies; in 2004, André 3000 had a role in a crime series Das Schild . The following year he starred in Be Cool . Other films like Revolver (2005), Four Brothers (2005) and Semi Pro (2008) also followed. In 2013, he made a notable on-screen appearance in a Jimi Hendrix biopic Everything’s By My Side. The film earned him the award for Best Male Lead at the Independent Spirit Awards. He also made another appearance on crime series American Crime in 2016.

His capital

Outkast’s André 3000 has an estimated net worth of $45 million, making it a solid choice for a man who has left an indelible mark on the music industry. Some sources have put his net worth at $50 million. But either way he fits the cap of one of the most successful rappers. He also enjoys a comfortable life and makes no noise about his wealth.

Personal life – wife, son, girlfriend, is he gay?

Considering his age, as well as his fame on the big screen, many have engaged in the personal life of the rapper and actor. André 3000 is not married to anyone but has a son Seven Sirius Benjamin with RnB singer Erykah Badu.

Seven Sirius was born in 1997 when André was dating his then-girlfriend Badu. Things soon turned sour between the two and they broke up a few years later.

Since then, the rapper hasn’t made another appearance with any woman, sparking speculation about his sexuality. André 3000 on Outkast, may have done a lot of songs with women but hasn’t been seen with any. Because of this, some have given the best possible reason for his odd relationship status, and most of those reasons revolve around the notion that he might be a homosexual. However, the legendary artist has never responded to such rumors and speculation about his sexuality.

Body measurements – height and weight

André 3000’s weight changed little over the course of his demanding career. The rapper weighs 74 kg, which is quite proportional to his average height of 177.8 cm. 3000 has a 35 inch waist which fits perfectly with his 129 cm (50.8 inch) chest. He wears a size 10 (US) for his shoes.
