Kanye West Waves: Andre 3000 accidentally gets Uber pool to studio, invites passenger

Uber’s new carpool option is a handy way of cutting costs on longer trips, and, apparently, meeting Andre 3000.

Andre touched down in LA on Friday night to work with Kanye in the studio on his new album, and according to TMZ got an Uber there because that’s the kind of chill guy he is.

He apparently accidentally selected the Pool option however, and ended up riding with another passenger.

As if rolling with one half of Outkast wasn’t cool enough, the woman was then invited to the studio having bonded with 3000 over their having lived in the same place.

She apparently was introduced to French Montana, P Diddy, Kid Cudi and 2 Chainz, who were already there hard at work on the new album.

Waves has undergone a number of name and personnel changes, most recently tracked by Ye’s notepad, which keeps being photographed every time new collaborators sign.

The album will drop on 11 February, premiering at Madison Square Garden during West’s Yeezy Season 3 New York Fashion Week presentation.

Collabs with Kendrick Lamar, Ty Dolla $ign and Sia are confirmed, with Chance the Rapper also expected to feature.
