Big Boi might be known as one-half of the iconic OutKast duo, but when it comes to his grandpa duties hes clocking in on time and in full style! The rap legend recently popped out for his grandsons first Breakfast with Grandparents Day,” and lets just say he brought all the ATLien drip to the elementary school classroom.
Dressed like the Atlanta royalty he is, Big Boi pulled up with his signature cap tilted to the side, dark shades, and a whole vibe that said, Yup, Grandpa still got it. Meanwhile, his grandson came ready to match the flyness. Baby boi rocked fresh cornrows and what looked like a Burberry fit, giving first-day-of-school energy! As Big Boi tried to snap a quick flick to capture the moment, his little man was already over it, looking like, Im tired of this, Grandpa! Either way, it was a precious family moment, and the internet is loving every second!
Folks ran straight to The Shade Room comment section with all the commentary. And, some said Baby Boi was clearly over Grandpas photoshoot! While many pointed out that Big Boi is aging like fine wine, others mentioned how happy he looked in grandpa mode. Meanwhile, commenters joked that his grandson thinks hes the star of the show not even realizing his Grandparents Day suprise is a whole rap legend out here!
One Instagram user @paradiseparis said, “Hes really the type of Black man we love to see grown old.“
This Instagram user @neiceymonet added, “The school made that up cause his grandson go there and they want to see him“
And, Instagram user @princewilljr0501 wrote, “Big bro love being a grandfather way more than he ever did a rapper blessings ”
Instagram user @omgitsimari_ wrote, “I love when men act their age and settle into it gracefully ”
Then, Instagram user @all100z_aye joked, “This the same big boi that came to collect his money from rashad n nem? ”
Lastly, Instagram user @cashmase said, “Its crazy to me that this kid doesnt know that his grandfather is a living legend ”
Looks like Big Boi aint the only OutKast OG making headlines this week. His former partner-in-rhyme, Andr 3000, just got a little love from none other than Erykah Badu! During a recent interview, Badu was asked to choose between two rap legends. One being her longtime collaborator, the other being the father of her eldest son, Seven. Without skipping a beat, she playfully said, Now youre messing with my child support. But, she ultimately gave the edge to Andr, calling herself one of his biggest fans outside of being family. Dont worry though she still showed love to Black Thought, her collaborator on ‘You Got Me.’ Just a reminder: the OutKast legacy stays in the conversation, whether its grandpa vibes or Grammy bars!
