Staple Design founder Jeff Staple met up with André 3000 over the weekend for some lunch and shared a rare clip of the Outkast rapper that fans won’t be able to resist smiling at.
Grinning from ear to ear and seeming generally just filled with joy, 3 Stacks greeted Staple with a compliment of his attire and his flute in-hand – an accessory that has become a signature of André’s in recent years.
Last year, 3 Stacks was spotted playing his flute in places like an airport terminal and throughout the streets of Philadelphia. In the former instance, NPR radio producer Antonia Cereijido finally approached him after watching him wander and play for over half an hour and he happily posed for a photo.
“I saw a man walking around my terminal playing a flute for 40 minutes and was losing my mind because I thought it was André 3000,” she tweeted with the pic they took. “And then it WAS André 3000!!!”
Philly got the same brotherly love and several photos of Dre and his double flute posing with fans popped up on social media at the time.

3000 enthusiast Madlib recently told Complex he’d be willing to make an entire flute album with Dre if he ever got the chance to collaborate on a project with him.
“I mean, he can do a flute album with me if he wants,” the famed producer and DJ said. “Pied Piper and the beat conductor.”
Andre 3000 solidified legend status with his former group Outkast. Over the course of six studio albums, Dre and Big Boi won multiple Grammy Awards, sold over 25 million records and became one of the most successful duos of all time. The pair haven’t put out an album together since 2006’s Idlewild, but they’ve continued making music since. While Big Boi is still very active musically, Dre has been somewhat retired in recent years, though he did pop up with some production on Kanye West and Kid Cudi’s Kids See Ghosts cut “Fire” in 2018.

Can everybody stop calling it a fucking flute it’s a recorder
Guy looks like a hobo these days!
Flinchingly foolish freddy focus to try to find freedom…. Debbies fuming
Great MC but dude wild corny
Aren’t most
Your name is laugh out loud, corny who? Debbie’s fuming….
An Andre 3K solo flute album would be better than nearly all the hip hop pushed on this site
Andre is 3,000 percent up out of his kufi.. and somewhere beyond mars.. the story of him deteriorating and losing his mind will someday be a movie of the week..
Andre 3000 looks like he needs a good bath, good breakfast, nice clothes and a home. He definitely doesn’t look like he has a net worth of $35 Million.
Dude rocked a dress … that’s so 2020 ‘hiphop’ / dude was way ahead of his time … but hey look he’s a hippy and it looks like the flute gives him joy … even though it’s GAF peace and love
Instruments aren’t gaf, as you say so ignorantly, melody is above your head…. Silly sausage…. Debbies fuming….
Dre 3000 didn’t become an icon being conventional. What have you done to establish yourself as memorable. Might want to start with opening your mind, shutting your mouth, and finding your happy place. He has nothing to prove to you. Got it!
Naqqa listen here naqqa. Nobody asked nobody to film this and comment. The thing is WE DO. It’s his fault bringing judgement upon himself with this fxckery. I get stressed I fxck and laugh. So stop being a fxcking gay-loving hall monitor and don’t be so sensitive this sh!t is funny
You silly sausage you spilt your milk all over your keyboard and it’s come out all squiffy, you silly little sausage…. Debbies fuming and I’m not best pleased either
Meant for Squiffy the stiffy not devoted, devoted right on the money
Meant for Squiffy the staffy not @devoted he’s correct
Meant for Squiffy not devoted sorry devoted…. Debbies sorry
My comments are for you Squiffy, Debbie’s fuming…. In fact she’s mildy irrate
if y’all don’t know 3000 by now, you’ll never know him…
keep doing you❣️
Loved Idlewild
The world needed that 5 seconds of Andre
