An Outkast reunion has been in the talks for some time now, but Jive Records executives are doing everything in their power to make sure it doesn’t happen. The reunion was supposed to take place in Big Boi’s upcoming album, “Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty” but Jive won’t allow Andre Benjamin to reunite with his ex-bandmate.
He says “Jive is trying to block Dre from being on my record. We can’t be on songs together now.”
Big Boi moved to Def Jam from Jive Records after the label told Big that they were stumped on how to promote his new album.
“Jive Records told me my album is a piece of art, and they didn’t know what to do with it,” Big Boi told GQ in a recent interview.
