Los Angeles, CA - Big Sean has stepped forward to address swirling rumors suggesting Kanye West played a role in leaking his upcoming album, "Better Me Than You." The Detroit rapper, known for his candidness, defended West during an Instagram Live session while also shedding light on the situation.
Addressing his followers directly, Sean vehemently denied the accusations, stating, "I know he wouldn’t do that 'cause that’s trash. I know he wouldn’t do no shit like that. Whoever did do that, just know that it did fuck me up. I know he ain’t do that. N-ggas talking about, 'Ye did that.' I know he ain’t do that."
The controversy erupted after an unnamed individual claimed they leaked Sean's album under instructions from Kanye West. This allegation surfaced following Sean's freestyle where he referenced friction with West and criticized certain industry practices.
During the livestream, Sean took the opportunity to showcase parts of his mansion, including accolades celebrating his contributions under West's G.O.O.D. Music label. He emphasized his respect and gratitude towards the label despite financial discrepancies, stating, "Shit, they made more money off my music than I did!"
The leak, which reportedly included unfinished tracks from "Better Me Than You," stirred significant unrest within the artist's fanbase and the music industry at large. Sean's album, slated for release on August 9, promises a introspective journey reflecting on personal growth and life's pressures.
