OutKast were celebrated with an all-star tribute performance following their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Despite OutKast member André 3000 being present at the event, and giving an acceptance speech, he didn’t perform at ceremony, and it turned out to be somewhat of a hot mess.
A medley of hits featured fellow ATLantans Killer Mike, J.I.D., Sleepy Brown joining Tyler, The Creator, Janelle Monáe, and Doja Cat, as well as OutKast member Big Boi, who did choose to perform.
The performance started with “ATLiens,” as Big Boi came out with J.I.D. Next, Doja Cat came out for “Ms. Jackson,” but lost her place, and it went awry. Thankfully, Tyler killed it on “B.O.B.,” restoring a little dignity to the performance.

However, things took a turn for the worse when Janelle Monáe took the mic for “Hey Ya,” singing in a weirdly affected voice, before jumping into the audience and crawling across the floor.
The medley steadied once again with “The Way You Move” featuring Sleepy Brown, and closed out with Killer Mike joining the other artists for “The Whole World.”
When it was all said and done, it was even more frustrating knowing that André 3000 was in the building.
The 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class also includes Soundgarden, Bad Company, OutKast, Cyndi Lauper, Chubby Checker, and Joe Cocker in the performer category.
The induction ceremony aired live on Disney+ on Saturday, November 8th, and will be available to stream on-demand following the ceremony. Find our full coverage here.
