Frank Ocean didn't reach out to a lot of guests for his debut, Channel Orange, but it appears that one other vocalist didn't quite make the cut. According to Big Boi, he was supposed to appear on the track "Pink Matter" with fellow Outkast member Andre 3000.

But as Daddy Fat Sax said on Twitter, Three Stacks prevented that from happening because he didn't want an Outkast reunion to occur on someone else's album. Apparently the same thing happened when Andre hopped on a T.I. track. Interesting. You can read the tweets below.
