Outkast Among 2025 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees
Reportedly, Outkast, including Andre “André 3000” Benjamin and Antwan “Big Boi” Patton, will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees this year also include Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Soundgarden, the White Stripes, and Cyndi Lauper in the performer category.
Outkast and Salt-N-Pepa’s induction shows the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame expanding its honors to rap acts, with the first rap artists being inducted in 2007.
Since R.E.M.’s induction in 2007, Outkast has been the first Georgia-bred act.
André 3000 and Big Boi met in high school and formed Outkast, releasing several successful albums and earning Grammy awards.
