![Lil Scrappy & Family Claim Racism at Nickelodeon Resort… [VIDEO]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Lil-Scrappy-Nickelodean-520x481.png)
Sadly, André 3000 (aka Andre Benjamin) of Atlanta’s legendary rap group Outkast lost his father earlier today (February 12, 2014).
While details are sketchy, a source close to the talented artist confirmed that Dre’s biological father, Lawrence Walker, died of an apparent heart attack today.
Walker had been reportedly out chopping wood for the fireplace and when he returned indoors, he suffered the attack.
The sad news comes just short of a year of Dre’s mother’s death.
Andre 3000′s mom, Sharon Benjamin-Hodo, passed away on May 28, 2013 in her Rex, Georgia home.
My sincere condolences goes out to Andre and his family during this difficult time.

Hey Dre man… I met your dad a few years back. He had a good spirit about him. I was a buyer for a furniture store in West Mid Town and he came in one day and talked to me for a long time.
I’m sorry to hear this news bro.
