Imagine minding your own business as you patiently (or not so patiently) wait for a flight when suddenly, ‘Is that André 3000 playing a flute?’ Nah. It can’t be.’ But then — surprise — it is! That’s exactly what happened to NPR radio producer Antonia Cereijido.
She was blown away when she spotted (who she believed was) the Outkast luminary wandering around the terminal playing a flute. After 40 minutes of wondering, she finally mustered up the courage to approach him.
“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 on Friday (June 14). “And then it WAS André 3000!!!”
André and Cereijido posed for a photo, and he confirmed he was indeed playing a “double flute.”
She later revealed she wished their conversation had gone differently but had “no regrets.”
“Of course I didn’t say anything good,” she said. “Now I’m like… I should’ve talked about how good his verse on Solo is. And how my mom once had a dream he taught our family to dance the hey ya dance and we had achieved the American Dream. W/E NO REGRET.”
The ATLien has a history of positive fan interactions. Last August, he posed for a photo with a fan who just happened to be wearing an André 3000 t-shirt. The photo quickly went viral.
There’s nothing worse than people thinking everyone else wants to hear them playing an instrument in a public place.
There’s nothing worse than people thinking everyone wants to hear their opinion.
You realize you just gave an opinion, right? Fkn dweeb.

I can think of something worse.. people thinking anyone cares about what they have to say in the comment section of some website. If it’s Andre 3000 you stfu and enjoy that shit
So many selfish fuckers here offended by my comment because it’s people like you who are no doubt loud in public places annoying everyone else. Probably also the type to play music at 4am on full volume disturbing everyone in your neighborhood because you think you are only ones who matter. Fk all ya’ll!
Only selfish person here is you.
Do yourself a favour and disappear from here.
Cheers
Wrong. Miserable haters like you are worse. 3k gives people music while you continue to hate and spread negativity.
Hearing music in a public place is amazing. Go bang your ankles
If you can’t think of ANYTHING worse please take your brain out of your head and throw it in a dumpster.
Negroes and their weird shit
Oh look – another stupid little troll.
Have a theory that y’all a bunch of negative, friendless little idiots. I mean, it adds up – why would the first thing that comes into your head be ‘negroes and their weird shit’ if you were truly happy with your lot in life and how your life was going?
So in conclusion – trolls are depressed individuals who we should all pity.
By the way, 3K has more talent, creativity and good vibes than a miserable leech like you will ever have. You LOSER.
And do you think that effected the troll at all or just emboldened him? The proper response is to ignore them
Never a truer word spoken pal.
Will never understand the psyche of these pathetic little leeches who live their lives just to spread as much negativity and hate as they can.
It’s all pretty tragic.
AndyC84 thinks she is the saving grade of the internet. LMAO

Silly little troll, that’s all you are.
Must be a miserable life you lead pal.
Dre is loving life man…i totally respect his bow out of the hip hop scene….
wow thanks for expressing urself online. find a friend that might care
There’s nothing worse then people thinkin we want to here your common ass opinion on some website.
Stankonia is a classic album but any man who plays the flute is a sodomite
Yeah, any man who likes butt stuff, and doesn’t adhere to the rules of your 2000 year old fairytales that were spread by sodomite, child molesting rapists, is somehow lesser, right? Please kill your self. Wait, the children’s story you believe in doesn’t allow that. Moron.

give him a tip.
The people are IGNORANT. No one who posted this story or the fan knows the difference between a flute and a clarinet. No wonder they voted Trump in office. The people are SLOW AF.
It’s a double flute. Google it.
Whats “they” mean you bigot. Nice try with the sly racism.
THIS DUDE BEEN LOST HIS MARBLES SINCE THE BADU LOVESPELL IN THE 90S. SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE THE SHELVING OF SOLO ALBUMS.
LOL you might be on to something, Jay Elect suffered from those side effects too. I wish she would get with some of these new horrible rappers so they would never release anything again.
I fucking hate humans. This dude isn’t hurting anyone he is just wandering around being him. not in some garish attention seeking way…just apparently practicing a seemingly new found talent, why is that a problem? I’m looking for a quick exit from this planet. I hope the aliens get here soon
Get off drugs man
Get off the drugs man
It’s a problem for the same reasons why earphones were invented.
Hope Dre is ok. Mental health is no joke
Was it a double SKIN flute? That is believe.
Lmaoo this old head playing a flute like somebody want to hear that bs. He a lost weirdo soul
Twat
Hollywood Joe!!!
40 minutes at an airport playing the double flute. 3 stacks has officially lost it.
this is even better than Prince being spotted doing wheelies on a bicycle in a mall parking lot
3000 had 40mins to kill. He chose to create rather than get on social media. That doesn’t make him crazy or on drugs. Sometimes those looking in the cage are the ones that are caged.
Bro social media has engulfed the entire planet its sad every moment of the day has to be documented and recorded. This world has left no room for memories
My father would ruin all of you bwahahaha ?????????
Sad to see Dre like this.
All the people criticizing André are the same ones who drive around staring at there cell phones thinking they’re going to miss an important tweet from Kim Kardashian. News flash everyone is not an attention seeker.
Why in the whole entire world does he have to be on drugs…or have mental issues because he is doing what made him famous . He is a rapper/ musician/ lirycist. Man people are really off their rockers …everybody gotta be on drugs or crazy if they are chill , not doin drugs or acting crazy. SMH this world is sad. Keep creating Andre 3000 . I hope to one day run into you ❤️
**sucks teeth** Take yo ASSS back to the studio and release another ALBUM!!
“I hated all the attention so I ran from it
Fuck it if we did, but I hope we ain’t lose no fans from it
I’m a grown-ass kid, you know ain’t never cared about no damn money
Why do we try so hard to be stars, just to dodge comments“
Listen to his verse on “Sorry” and you will better understand why he does what he does. Nothing wrong with him, he is enjoying his life, something 98% of celebs cannot do.
