Revealed, The Surprising First Stage Names of Sexyy Red and Andre 3000

Sexyy Red

Sexyy Red and Andre 3000, as they delved into the fascinating stories behind their original stage names. The candid conversation unveiled some unexpected monikers that fans might find intriguing.

The name reveal began when Andre 3000 asked Sexyy Red how she preferred to be addressed. “Sexyy,” she replied, before sharing the backstory of her name. She revealed that she got the moniker from “this dude” back in the day while she was brainstorming a name to precede Red. Before adopting Sexyy Red, the St. Louis-born rapper was known on the streets as “Trill Red.”

Andre 3000 then took his turn, disclosing that he initially went by “Black Wolf” while his Outkast partner Big Boi was known as “Black Dog.” Together, they formed a duo called 2 Shades Deep, a name they eventually changed due to a local singing group called 4 Shades Deep. The shift to Outkast came naturally, as they wanted a name that reflected their unique style compared to their peers.

“Period,” Sexyy Red quipped, sealing the moment with her trademark flair.

But the episode didn’t stop there. In another nostalgic moment, Sexyy Red asked Andre 3000 about his memorable 1995 Source Awards speech. Andre admitted he couldn’t recall the entire speech but vividly remembered his frustration leading up to it. “It was not planned,” he confessed. “It looked brave, but I was nervous as a motherf*cker. I was just angry, man.”
