While his Outkast counterpart Andre 3000 is preparing to star in an upcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic, Big Boi on the other hand is set to appear on Celebrity Big Brother.
The Sun report that the rapper has recently signed up from the next season of the UK show, penning a deal worth £300,000. He will be joined by the likes of Abz from 90s pop group 5ive and football pundit Ron Atkinson on the show.
Big Boi recently cancelled a series of live dates following a knee surgery procedure. Meanwhile, Andre 3000 is said to be working on a new solo album – due in 2014.
