André 3000 has a lot going on right now, and he stopped by Ellen DeGeneres's talk show to dish out the goods and get some well-deserved praise from the host.
DeGeneres asked the rapper, aka André Benjamin, about what is going on with his reunion tour with the other half of OutKast, Big Boi, before getting into his stage threads.
Benjamin is known for his wacky and innovative sense of style, and he has recently been wearing plain black jumpsuits with simple messages on them, like "My dad had cool albums" and "Big girls are beautiful to me."
DeGeneres decided to make a jumpsuit for the musician to wear, possibly at one of the three days of the group's homecoming festival #ATLast this weekend, which reads, "Ellen loves this guy" with an arrow pointing toward the top. You can watch it below.
During the interview, Benjamin told DeGeneres about how difficult it was learning to play guitar left-handed for his starring role as Jimi Hendrix in the new biopic Jimi: All Is By My Side, out Sept. 26.
"I had to make it look like I had been playing that way for years, which is hard," he said. "I'm not really confident in my talents in that way. The only thing I'm confident in is knowing that I'm excited about new things."
OutKast's tour will wrap at the end of October in New Orleans, and all signs point to another lengthy hiatus for the duo, who went on a break in 2007 before reuniting in April to celebrate the their 20th anniversary.
