Despite everyone in the hip-hop community questioning his relationship with Ye, Sean quickly put those claims to bed while on Instagram Live Thursday. He also added that Kanye did not order to have his album leaked, as a crazed fan initially claimed.

He stated, “I know he ain’t do that s**t. I love Ye. Without him, there would be no me.”

Sean has also officially announced the album that was rumored to have been leaked earlier this week. “Better Than You” is set to release on August 9th.

Original story below:

Big Sean had social media buzzing on Tuesday over his freestyle for “On the Radar,” mainly because of lyrics that seem aimed at his former boss, Kanye West. Sean rapped, “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.”

One day later, on the same day Sean teased what sounds like some fire new music, his upcoming 14-track album was also leaked on the internet in retaliation to the perceived shots at West.

Although this got everyone on social media protecting their favorite artist, whether it was Big Sean or Ye, one fan took it to another level. A person who claims to be a huge fan of the Chicago artist leaked a version of Sean’s upcoming album on a site known for music leaks.

Along with the leaked project, the fan wrote: “Since he wanna disrespect Ye so much, here’s the album, f**k him and his whole team. Precision is on the album, just not in these files. This was the album as of couple months ago. Features Nas, Dream, Jhene, and some other people.”

They later added, “Ye told me to leak it.”

This person also clarified that the alternative title for the record is “Better Me Than You.”

In response to the leak, Sean officially teased new music with legendary producer The Alchemist. In the post, he wrote, “Might as well start droppin, before they leak it all, got damn.”
