Big Boi: Outkast is not working on album

US rapper Big Boi has dismissed the recent rumours that Outkast will release a new album to mark their 20th anniversary.

Rapper Big Boi has dismissed reports suggesting he and Andre 3000 are working on a new Outkast album.

Fans got excited when reports swirled last month indicating the newly-reunited rap duo were working on new music together to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

And when their former manager, Queen Latifah, alluded to the new project the rumours went into overdrive.

However, Big Boi, 39, has set the record straight, insisting there is no new album planned.

He tells AllHipHop.com, "We're just doing the tour only, just for the fans. That's all it is, just the tour. I got a solo record I'm working on. But, it's just the Outkast 20th year anniversary, just a way for us to celebrate with our fans, but there's no album in the works, no."

The duo is planning to perform at 40 festivals in 2014 to mark the anniversary.
