Big Sean took to X last night and addressed some scathing accusations made by some rap fans.
The Detroit rapper dropped the video for his single “Yes” two days ago, and some immediately accused him of using Baby Keem's flow, leading to both rappers trending on X. “We really live in a world where baby Keem has 40 year old sons,” said one X user, while another tweeted, “Kendrick and Baby Keem are fighting to stop and stop Big Sean.”
Later that night, Sean tweeted, “I must not be familiar with my game,” apparently in reference to the online chat.
Fans tried to bring up the history of Big Sean and Kendrick Lamar's (Keem's older cousin) beef, but Sean recently told Charlamagne Tha God that they've patched things up. “We've already talked about it. I already have an apology for that,” he said of a leaked version of Lamar's song “Element” in 2019. “I haven't really had a lot of communication with him since then and you know, I represent a lot of people from my hometown, my fans who think I didn't stand on my own two feet and that's not the case.”
On that version, Lamar rapped, “Big Sean keep sneak dissin,” I let it slide/ I think his false confidence inspired him/ I can't make them respect you, baby, it ain't my job/ Finally famous who you date, not how you rhyme/ Cute raps, open up your teenage/ Then make a classic album before you come to us/ Drake and Meek Mill might turn you on/ But I'm a different beast, I really wake you up. »
Big Sean's sixth solo album Better Me Than You was originally expected on August 9, but decided to delay the release and has yet to announce another date.
