Performances from Tyler, the Creator, Doja Cat, Janelle Monáe, and Killer Mike for last night’s OutKast tribute at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have drawn mixed reactions.
Back in April, it was announced that the hip-hop duo were set to be inducted alongside names including The White Stripes, Cyndi Lauper and Soundgarden. At last night’s (November 8) ceremony, André 3000 and Big Boi were introduced by Donald Glover, who lauded them for their part in creating a “music Mecca” in Atlanta.
Despite being in attendance at the ceremony, André 3000 didn’t perform. Instead, Doja Cat, Killer Mike, J.I.D., Tyler, the Creator, and Janelle Monáe joined Big Boi for a medley of the duo’s classic hits, which has proved divisive on social media.
The performance kicked off with ‘ATLiens’ with Big Boi joined by J.I.D. This was followed by Doja taking on ‘Ms. Jackson’, however, as many X/Twitters users have pointed out, she appeared to lose her thread halfway through the song and miss lyrics.
“Absolutely disrespectful to show up to someone’s tribute and not know their verse,” one viewer wrote. Many seemed to be in agreement, saying Doja had “messed up the best part”.

However, some leapt to her defence, instead blaming the DJ. “Whoever that DJ is who has the nerve to be rapping super loud and the wrong fucking lyrics at that… he completely ruined a legendary moment,” added one user. “So,” asked another, “did she not know the words, or was he just rapping over her?”
While Tyler’s rendition of ‘B.O.B.’ went down well, Monáe’s take on ‘Hey Ya’ – in particular her choice to take on a strange vocal affectation and crawl across the floor. One highly unimpressed viewer later took to social media to write: “Put Janelle Monae in jail for what she did to Hey Ya.”
The medley continued on with ‘The Way You Move’ featuring Sleepy Brown, and closed out with Killer Mike joining all other artists on stage for ‘The Whole World’. You can check out more social media reactions to the tribute performances below.
I wish Andre 3000 was in the mental space to want to perform at the rock and roll hall of fame, but if he wasn’t then I’m glad he didn’t. The night is about celebrating the legendary duo, not for them to perform in their 50s for OUR entertainment. I hope he’s enjoying his flute.

OutKast deserved better. We all deserved better. And that’s no slight on Doja but there was no coordination https://t.co/HqXlQE3rw2

Put Janelle Monae in jail for what she did to Hey Ya

Nah they played Outkast with their tribute performance. Doja Cat and Janelle Monae were trash. Everybody else was good though. #RockHall2025

i wanna think that whoever else on the mic with her threw her off bc his mic damn near louder than hers but knowing doja… she could very well be up there with no idea of what that man says during that verse smh lol

In fairness to her, I think the backup rapper coming in louder than her and also beefing the first line of that verse just completely threw her off 😂

Shoulda had Tyler the Creator do the whole thing. He had the energy it deserved.

That was pathetic

Meanwhile, last December, André 3000 said that OutKast were “further away” from making new music together “than we’ve ever been”.
“I’ll say maybe 10, 15 years ago, in my mind, I thought an OutKast album would happen,” he said. “I don’t know the future, but I can say that we’re further away from it than we’ve ever been.”
“It’s hard for me to make a rap, period, you know? And sometimes I’m in the belief of, ‘Let things be’”, he told Rolling Stone.
He continued: “[OutKast] was a great time in life, and our chemistry was at a certain place that was undeniable,” he said, brushing against the notion that “something has to last forever”.
In May this year, he released a surprise solo EP ‘7 Piano Sketches’, a series of improvisations on piano mostly recorded at a house in Texas.
