“It’s important for me to be clear about the origins of my contributions to
‘Pink Matter’ and ‘Sorry.’ I was approached as a solo artist by both Frank Ocean
& Tip. I discussed musical direction with each artist and completed my
verses. It was after that when Big Boi’s name came up.
I never want to mislead our audience – I worried that some would
think these were Outkast collaborations. These songs are not Outkast
collaborations. I discussed this rationale with Big, Frank and T.I. and
everyone agreed. That is why I was surprised to read about these remixes.
I understand that anyone can put out an unofficial remix to any
song but I have an obligation to be honest with fans about
what this is … and what it isn’t.”
