Big Sean clears the air on rumors blaming Kanye West for leaking his new album.
- Sean insists Kanye wouldn’t betray him like that despite their complicated history.
- Claims surface alleging Kanye instructed the leak in retaliation for a diss track.
- Big Sean uses Instagram Live to debunk the rumors and defend Kanye.
- The rapper shares his feelings on the leaked tracks, calling the incident upsetting.
Big Sean has come forward to address the rumors swirling around his latest album leak, and fingers are pointing at Kanye West. Sean, who has a complex history with Kanye, took to Instagram Live to clear the air, passionately defending his former mentor. He firmly stated, “I know he wouldn’t do that ’cause that’s trash. I know he wouldn’t do no shit like that.” Despite the chaos, Sean remains adamant that Kanye is innocent.
During his Instagram Live session, Big Sean didn’t just talk; he showed. As he walked through his mansion, he pointed out a plaque commemorating the sale of 185 million records under G.O.O.D. Music, Kanye’s label. “I love G.O.O.D. Music. Shit, they made more money off my music than I did!” Sean exclaimed. He reminded viewers of the trust he had with exclusive tracks, emphasizing that he never leaked any tracks and believed Kanye wouldn’t either. “Whoever started that rumor, y’all on some bullshit,” he added.
The controversy heated up when someone claimed on social media that Kanye had instructed them to leak Sean’s album as retaliation for a diss in Sean’s recent freestyle. Sean rapped about changing teams due to ‘treason’ and mocked the industry clout chasing. He alluded to Kanye’s past disses against him and questioned grown men getting matching tattoos for fame. The person insisted Kanye’s directive was a response to this freestyle.
Kanye West hasn’t commented on the situation, nor has he responded to Sean’s freestyle. Despite the turbulence, Big Sean has announced the album title “Better Me Than You” and its release date, August 9. Sharing his journey, Sean described the project as a path to clarity and happiness amidst life’s pressures. He teased fans with a psychedelic trailer featuring funky basslines and spacey synths.
So far, Sean’s unveiled two singles from the album, “Precision” and “Yes.” Even without a full tracklist, fans can expect contributions from big names like Nas, Brent Faiyaz, and Sean’s girlfriend, Jhené Aiko. The drama may have started with a leak, but Big Sean is gearing up to make a major impact with this release.
Despite the leak and rumors, Big Sean stands by Kanye and looks forward to the album release.
