Andre 3000 has revealed that OutKast have no plans to record a new album.

Band-mate Big Boi had previously hinted that the Grammy-winning hip-hop duo were in the process of recording their long-awaited follow-up to 2006’s Idlewild.

But speaking to GQ magazine, the eccentric rapper said: "There's been a lot of talk on the Internet about an OutKast album and I have to say that as of now, there are no plans for another OutKast album," 

However, the 36-year-old did confirm that his recent collaborations with the likes of Kesha, Beyonce and Lloyd have inspired him to record his first solo album:

"There's a lot of music on the horizon. I've been living off the excitement of new artists. I've been privileged to have these new artists kind of reach out and grab back and say, 'Hey, Andre, we want you on this song.'

“So these new artists have kind of been keeping me alive. I've just really been feeding off of that and this year I think I'm planning to do a solo project.”

When asked about his plans for the record, he added: "The only thing I can really say is I'm going to get back to having fun because that's what it was all about when I started this in high school-with OutKast-those were like high school dreams. I'm 36 now, so I have grown-man dreams. This album will just be me being myself as normal."
