Andre 3000 charged with speeding

OutKast's Andre 3000 has been charged with speeding after being caught driving at 175kmph in a 105kmph zone near Atlanta, and is free on bond.

Well, I've always been quite a fan of Andre 3000 but I can't approve of speeding. Sadly, that's what the OutKast star has been charged with, after driving at 175kmph on a suburban highway in Atlanta.

Police confirmed that the musician, real name Andre Benjamin, of course, was driving his Porsche in a 105kmph zone at about 12.30am on Saturday when he was apprehended, and that he apparently claimed he was going so fast because he missed an exit and had to turn around. Which isn't the best excuse I've ever heard. He is free on a $1,200 bond with a court date set for 29 Apr.
