11:09 AM PT — Just as we suspected … Killer Mike is calling BS on his own claims that André 3000 finally dropping a solo album … after it appears he let the cat out of the bag too soon. 😬

UPDATE
Mike immediately clarified his blunder at the start of his appearance on “The Big Tigger Morning Show” Thursday … where he quipped, “I was stoned out of my mind playing, teasing with y’all. Y’all done took the joke too seriously. But you know, [Andre’s] always making music. He’s never not making music … so I got a chance to hear a lot of cool stuff.
UPDATE
Mike went on to plug “Scientists and Engineers,” the Andre-featured track on his new album “Michael.” It’s not the same as a 3 Stacks album … but will simply have to do for now!!!
André 3000 is poised to release his debut solo album … according to Killer Mike, who also says he’s expected to hear a super sneak peek very soon.
KM was making his promo rounds yesterday, including an appearance on “TMZ Live,” and popped up on Sway’s Universe, who quizzed his knowledge about the 3 Stacks album rumors.
The Run the Jewels rapper confirmed Andre’s project and revealed he’ll be meeting with him to hear the project in its entirety, having previously heard around 9 tracks.
Andre has a blistering verse on Mike’s new self-titled album and pulling the trigger on his own project feels plausible.
A solo album from Andre probably hasn’t been on fans’ bingo cards for some time … the 45-year-old MC has been on a nomadic journey while playing his flute for years and it’s been nearly 16 years since the last Outkast album dropped.

The chances that this album will be Outkast-oriented are none to nada, per the group’s longtime producer Sleepy Brown‘s predictions when we caught him at LAX.

Nonetheless, rap hasn’t had a No. 1 album this year, and the interest alone behind an Andre album should run the numbers up … if it actually drops!!
