UPDATE: Since this publishing of this article, representatives for André 3000 tell The Fader that there is “no new OutKast news to report at this time.” See previous story below:
Gucci Mane’s career since he’s been out of prison has been lit to say the least. He’s had fire singles, a new album, and not to mention he’s looking healthy and has become quite the style enthusiast.
In a Snapchat on Monday, Gucci revealed the names of a lot of people that he has collaborated with recently, including E-40, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Migos’ Guavo and more. However, one name in particular stood out on the list – OutKast.
Both members of OutKast have been quite busy lately with Big Boi releasing music, and André 3000 has dropped critically acclaimed verses on a number of artists’ tracks as well as appearing in acting roles, such as American Crime.
Gucci’s video has people up in arms, thinking that the a studio reunion for the group is coming sooner rather than later.

Despite touring together in 2014, their last album effort was the soundtrack for Idlewild in 2006.
This wouldn’t be the first time Gucci Mane has had a record with the a part of the group, as he appeared on Big Boi’s 2010 album, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty.
What do you think of what Gucci said? Do you think OutKast is reuniting soon? Let us know in the comments!
