11:09 AM PT -- Just as we suspected ... Killer Mike is calling BS on his own claims that André 3000 finally dropping a solo album ... after it appears he let the cat out of the bag too soon. 😬
Mike immediately clarified his blunder at the start of his appearance on "The Big Tigger Morning Show" Thursday ... where he quipped, "I was stoned out of my mind playing, teasing with y'all. Y'all done took the joke too seriously. But you know, [Andre's] always making music. He's never not making music ... so I got a chance to hear a lot of cool stuff.
Mike went on to plug "Scientists and Engineers," the Andre-featured track on his new album "Michael." It's not the same as a 3 Stacks album ... but will simply have to do for now!!!
André 3000 is poised to release his debut solo album ... according to Killer Mike, who also says he's expected to hear a super sneak peek very soon.
KM was making his promo rounds yesterday, including an appearance on "TMZ Live," and popped up on Sway's Universe, who quizzed his knowledge about the 3 Stacks album rumors.
The Run the Jewels rapper confirmed Andre's project and revealed he'll be meeting with him to hear the project in its entirety, having previously heard around 9 tracks.
Andre has a blistering verse on Mike's new self-titled album and pulling the trigger on his own project feels plausible.

A solo album from Andre probably hasn't been on fans' bingo cards for some time ... the 45-year-old MC has been on a nomadic journey while playing his flute for years and it's been nearly 16 years since the last Outkast album dropped.
The chances that this album will be Outkast-oriented are none to nada, per the group's longtime producer Sleepy Brown's predictions when we caught him at LAX.
Nonetheless, rap hasn't had a No. 1 album this year, and the interest alone behind an Andre album should run the numbers up ... if it actually drops!!
