André 3000, his ex Erykah Badu and their son Seven recently reunited for a touching and rare family photo.
Elliott Wilson shared the pic of the trio on Wednesday (September 25).
In it, 3 Stacks has his arm around Badu’s shoulder and is grinning. Seven is sitting behind them, offering up a peace sign.
Check out the family portrait below.
Last week, the OutKast legend shared a video of himself performing alongside the Baduizm singer during a New Blue Sun tour stop in her hometown of Dallas, TX.
In the clip, Badu plays the theremin while 3 Stacks jams out on the flute.
Earlier this week, André shared more photos from tour, including multiple that featured Badu, and one that saw the rapper, his ex and their son sharing a moment of prayer.
Check out both of those posts below.
Badu has long been an open book when it comes to her former relationship with André 3000.
Back in 2020, she and Summer Walker interviewed each other for Rolling Stone. During the conversation, the neo-soul goddess opened up about her relationship with the OutKast star. The two met in the 1990s and had instant chemistry, which would ultimately lead to their son Seven Sirius Benjamin.
Although their romantic relationship ultimately fizzled out, Badu and Three Stacks remain close friends, something they skipped at the beginning of their love affair. When Walker asked about their friendship, Badu explained they were tight — which appears to still be the case.
“He just left Dallas, actually,” Badu replied. “He came down for my grandma’s memorial. He’s one of my best friends on the planet. When we became boyfriend and girlfriend in the Nineties, we didn’t become friends first. We were attracted to each other first.”

She concluded: “We had stuff in common, but we didn’t learn all of that until over the years. We have a 23-year-old son. Over these years, we’ve just become closer and closer as friends, as humans, as man, as woman.”
Badu also admitted her affection for him runs deep — but in a platonic way.
“I care for him so very much, about his livelihood, his art, his feelings, and I’m a super big fan of him,” she continued. “I’m assuming he’s also a fan of my music. We’re really close. We laugh all the time, talk about things. It’s brother and sister, it’s grandmother and grandson, it’s father and daughter. It’s so many different things depending on what the situation calls for.
“He’s one of the most caring people that I know. [Our son] Seven adopted this same energy from him. They both have this look on their face as if they’re saying, ‘I hope it works for you.’ No matter what it is. They’re nonjudgmental people. We respect each other’s art. We’re snobs when it comes to art and literature, but I never hear him putting people down at all. He gives everything the benefit of the doubt and consideration. He wants it to work out for people.”
