When Beyonce debuted the video for 'Party' fans and foes alike were dismayed that Andre 3000's vocals had been scrubbed from the track. The rumor mill went into overdrive assuming something sinister after Roc Nation's J. Cole was revealed as his replacement [click here if you missed that].
Well, it's really not as bad as it seems...
According to Straight from the A, 3 Stacks simply wasn't contracted to do any videos. He only agreed to lace the track. SFA also says to expect Andre Benjamin to show up on a number of other projects, but you won't see him in any videos until after he's done one with Big Boi.
No drama. Just loyalty.
