Cereijido says she has no regrets about the meeting but wishes she said something more meaningful.
“Of course I didn’t say anything good,” she said. “Now I’m like… I should’ve talked about how good his verse on Solo is. And how my mom once had a dream he taught our family to dance the hey ya dance and we had achieved the American Dream. W/E NO REGRET.”

Sat next to him at Atl Hartfield waiting for my plane. I was a @Delta FA and he said he liked my socks. Had no clue who he was until people kept stopping and snapping pics. I didn’t think my socks were that cool…coolest celeb encounter ever.

Damn Andre!!! He is so cool!! I saw him at the Spirit awards and just nerdily blurted our “It’s Andre 3000!” And like a boss he just turned and pointed at me and winked. And just like that I was blessed.
He’s so pure.
