André 3000’s Absence at OutKast’s Rock Hall Induction Causes Chaos
A recent event at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles saw OutKast honored with a special tribute performance during their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The ceremony took place on Saturday, November 8, 2025, featuring a star-studded lineup despite notable absences.
André 3000’s Absence During the Performance
Despite being present at the ceremony, André 3000 did not participate in the musical tribute. His absence from the performance stage was a point of frustration for fans and attendees, especially since he was visible during the acceptance speech.
Highlighting The Tribute Performance
Several artists collaborated to celebrate OutKast’s legacy, including:
- Killer Mike
- J.I.D.
- Sleepy Brown
- Tyler, The Creator
- Janelle Monáe
- Doja Cat
- Big Boi
The performance kicked off with “ATLiens,” featuring Big Boi and J.I.D. However, the event quickly became chaotic. Doja Cat stumbled during “Ms. Jackson,” and Janelle Monáe’s rendition of “Hey Ya” drew mixed reactions as she theatrically engaged with the audience.
Tyler, The Creator brought the performance back on track with a powerful delivery of “B.O.B.” The medley continued with “The Way You Move,” led by Sleepy Brown, and concluded with a compelling rendition of “The Whole World,” featuring Killer Mike.
