The rapper returned to Instagram Live to talk about the intense effort and criticism he has faced while creating his album. He emphasized the importance of staying true to his artistic vision and avoiding negative online comments.
Acknowledging his mother’s vital support, Sean shared that she encouraged him to stop obsessing over perfection and trust in his work. This conversation helped him decide to release the album without further delays.
