Big Sean Speaks Out on Rumored Album Leak Involving Kanye West Fan
Big Sean has been dealing with some significant challenges lately. His recent freestyle on On The Radar has not been well-received, drawing criticism rather than admiration for his lyrical skills.
The situation took a turn for the worse when a self-identified Kanye West fan, claiming to act on Kanye's orders, allegedly leaked Sean's entire new album online. The supposed leaker posted:
"Since he wanna disrespect Ye so much, here’s the album, f**k him and his whole team. Ye told me to leak it."
Despite the potential for this to upset the Detroit rapper, Big Sean seems to have taken it in stride and used the moment to his advantage.

Sean tweeted:
"Might as well start droppin, before they leak it all, got damn [crying-laughing emoji]. BIG SEAN x THE ALCHEMIST soon,"

The snippet from their collaboration sounds promising, and fans are eagerly awaiting the full release. Despite the leak, the anticipation for Sean’s new music remains high.
The leak has caused a stir among fans and casual listeners alike. Many are upset about the breach of trust and the disrespect shown to Big Sean, while others are sympathetic towards him as an artist dealing with such a difficult situation.
The controversy surrounding Big Sean's alleged Kanye West disses in his On The Radar freestyle adds another layer to the story. In his freestyle, Sean raps,:
"I had to switch the home team ’cause they committed treason," he raps at one point on the track. "N***as looking for engagement like they got their knee bent / I got better things to do than to find someone to beef with... Man, this industry is terrible, I can’t even vouch / I’ve seen grown men get matching tattoos for the clout."
These lines have been interpreted as shots at Kanye, which likely fueled the leaker’s motivation.
