Andre 3000

Cee-Lo Green has known OutKast's Andre 3000 since the two were in the third grade, and the Dungeon Family members have remained close as both of their stars have risen in the music industry over the past two decades. So with rumors abounding of a new Andre solo album and Cee-Lo's Goodie Mob out on a press tour in support of their new album Age Against The Machine, Cee-Lo was asked about his childh

News broke yesterday that Chief Keef was arrested for driving 110mph in a 55 mph zone. While speeding tickets are pretty common occurrence, the incident marks the second time in two weeks in which Keef found himself behind bars. If last week's marijuana arrest is any indication of how he handled his legal woes, it's likely that will see the GBE rapper laugh his arrest off with another mugshot Twee

Several sources last night indicated that Andre 3000’s mother, Sharon Benjamin-Hodo, has passed away in her Rex, GA home. This morning, a representative for the musician/actor confirmed her death to Billboard. Details on Benjamin-Hodo's death are emerging as the story develops. Sour...
