Big Sean responds to rumours about Kanye West leaking his album

nme.com:

Big Sean has commented on the recent rumours that Kanye West supposedly leaked his upcoming album ‘Better Me Than You’.West discovered Sean back in 2007 and signed him to his record label, G.O.O.D Music.

The latter dropped three Billboard Number One albums through the label: ‘Dark Sky Paradise’ (2015), ‘I Decided’ (2017), and ‘Detroit 2’ (2020).Last Thursday (July 18), a seemingly rough cut of Sean’s long-awaited sixth album – with features from Nas, The-Dream, Sean’s girlfriend and child’s mother Jhené Aiko, Brent Faiyaz and Charlie Wilson (per Variety) – was leaked online.

The record was called ‘Feelings & Random Thots’ and was 15 tracks long.The leaker suggested it was done in retaliation to Sean allegedly throwing jabs at Ye in his recent ‘On the Radar Freestyle’.“I had to switch the home team ’cause they committed treason […] N****s looking for engagement like they got their knee bent / I got better things to do than to find someone to beef with,” he rapped.

Many believed he was referring to West’s disparaging comments on Drink Champs in 2021, when he said it “was a big mistake” to sign the Detroit rapper – adding: “When I die, on my tombstone it’s gonna say I deserve to be here because I signed Big Sean.”Sean also supposedly referenced West’s matching tattoos with Lil Uzi Vert and Steve Lacy: “Man, this industry is terrible, I can’t even vouch / I’ve seen grown men get matching tattoos for the clout.” “Since he wanna disrespect Ye so much, here’s the album, fuck him and his whole team,” the leaker under the username Bigseandon811 wrote on their post – adding, “Ye told me to leak it.”Initially, he shared a teaser of his collaboration with The Alchemist on social media, captioning it: “Might as well start droppin’,.
