CeeLo Green Reflects on Almost Joining Outkast
11 Mar
Summary
- CeeLo Green was nearly a member of Outkast alongside Big Boi and Andre 3000.
- The suggestion came about because they were all young members of the Dungeon Family.
- Green believes adding him would have been 'overkill' and 'too many cooks'.

CeeLo Green recently shared that he was once considered a potential member of the legendary hip-hop duo Outkast. The suggestion reportedly emerged because Green, along with Big Boi and Andre 3000, were among the youngest members of the influential Dungeon Family collective.
Reflecting on the possibility, Green expressed that while he understood the chemistry they shared, adding a third member might have been detrimental. He characterized the idea as potentially being "too much" and "overkill," suggesting it could have disrupted the dynamic.
Ultimately, Green pursued his own successful path, achieving acclaim with Goodie Mob, as a solo artist, and with Gnarls Barkley. Notably, the final Gnarls Barkley album, 'Atlanta,' was released just last week, marking the end of an 18-year project with Danger Mouse.
