Big Boi and Andre 3000 of Outkast perform on stage at Wireless Festival at Finsbury Park on July 6, 2014 in London, United Kingdom.
Big Boi and Andre 3000 reunite but unfortunately, not for musical purposes.

Big Boi and Andre 3000 haven't made music together as Outkast in over a decade. Although the two did do a little reunion tour a few years back, since then, they've continued to focus on their solo ventures. That doesn't mean there's any bad blood between 3K and Big Boi. They're constantly showing each other love and most recently, they came together for Big Boi's son's graduation.

It's been a few decades since Big Boi and Andre 3000 joined forces as Outkast and their relationship is undoubtedly deeper than music. Uncle Andre showed up to Big Boi's son's high school graduation where he posed alongside the father and son for a picture. Like any father would, Big Boi shared a ton of photos of his son to celebrate his graduation. "Congrats Son ! Cross “ The Boss “ Patton ! Oregon here we come !" He captioned the post with Andre.

"It’s been 1 hell of a journey,” Big Boi wrote in another post. “Raising three kids, private school to college degrees, never woulda thought this rap sh*t would have brought me here, to God be the glory.” 

This isn't the first time Outkast has shown face at one of Big Boi's kid's grads. Last year, Big Boi's son, Andre “Bamboo” Patton II, graduated with honors at his high school. Andre came through once again to celebrate the big day with Big Boi and his family.
