Big Sean has finally addressed and clarified the rumours of a feud between him and fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar.
For years, fans have speculated and seen mixed signals from both artists. However, Sean has now confirmed that all is well between them, and there is no animosity.
The Backstory: A Misunderstanding Unveiled
In a recent interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Big Sean delved into the history of his complex relationship with Kendrick Lamar.
According to Sean, their issues began around the time of their mutual friend, Nipsey Hussle’s, tragic death. The situation escalated when an unreleased version of Kendrick’s song “Element” leaked online.
In this version, Kendrick appeared to take shots at Sean, rapping, “You ‘Finally Famous’ for who you date, not how you rhyme, boy.” This line was seen as a direct jab at Sean, who is dating Jhené Aiko, another talented artist.
However, the diss track never officially made it to the final cut when Kendrick dropped his chart-topping album “DAMN.” Despite this, the leaked lyrics caused tension.
Sean explained in the interview that he reached out to Kendrick’s label, Top Dawg Entertainment, speaking directly to its bosses, Top Dawg and Terrence ‘Punch’ Henderson.
Eventually, he managed to contact Kendrick himself to clear the air.
A Peaceful Resolution and a Look Ahead
During his conversation with Charlamagne, Sean even showed the text messages exchanged between him and Kendrick.
They revealed that Kendrick had apologized to Sean for any misunderstanding and admitted that the lyrics might have gone too far. This sincere apology helped to put to rest years of speculated subliminal disses and allowed both artists to move forward without any ill feelings.
As Big Sean moves forward in his career, he is fully immersed in the production of his sixth album, titled “Better Me Than You.” In a recent discussion with TMZ Hip Hop, Sean shared that the album is dedicated to his son, Noah, symbolizing his future journey into manhood.
To complement the positive vibes of the interview, Sean also released the music video for his new single “On Up.” The track, which samples a Jodeci classic, is a heartfelt nod to fatherhood.
The video features appearances from Jhené Aiko, Sean’s parents, and his closest friends, underlining the importance of family and personal growth in his life.
Big Sean’s clarification on his relationship with Kendrick Lamar not only dispels long-standing rumours but also sets the stage for his forthcoming projects, filled with love, family, and self-improvement.
