Sad news here, as we've learned that Andre 3000's mother, Sharon Benjamin-Hodo, was found dead on Monday, May 27, in her Rex, Georgia home. Nothing has been released yet on the cause of death, but the untimely passing fell unfortunately on her son's 38th birthday.
Sharon Benjamin-Hodo was best known as the founder of The Starlight Camp, a church organization aimed to help underprivileged children. She also headed a learning program at New Morning Light Missionary Baptist Church in Conley, Georgia where her husband, Pastor Roberto Hobo, headed the establishment.
Andre has yet to speak out about his mother's passing, but close friends and artists were quick to send out their condolences on Twitter:
