Don't expect a Big Sean album tonight. In July, the Detroit rapper announced that he planned to release his sixth solo album on August 9, a day after a version was leaked online.
However, earlier this week, while promoting new single 'On Up' on Instagram, he said the album would be out 'soon'. When a fan asked him, “Why are you saying album soon like it's not supposed to come out on the 9th?” Sean blamed scheduling issues for having to push the album back. “I have to push it a little bit. Music has been made, but we just organize listening events, shows, etc. It might take an extra week or 2 to plan,” he replied.
Some fans tried to blame his former boss, Ye (ex Kanye West), but Big Sean took to Instagram Live to clear up those rumors, assuring fans, “I know he's not doing that. I love Ye. Without him, I wouldn't be me.”
He added: “I've been there ever since Graduation. I had to study, contribute, give energy to every project. 808s, Beautiful Twisted… I know he wouldn't do that, it's rubbish. So whoever did this, just know that they did it to me too.”
Although the album isn't coming this week, Sean is feeding his fans. He has released the singles”Yes” and “On Up” so far, and has teased a song with the Alchemist and killed one On the radar free over Aaliyah's”If only your girl knew.”
Some fans thought he was dissing Kendrick with the lines, “I've got better things to do than find somebody to hook up with/ Otherwise I'm off the deep end/ This game will take you in any direction, you know it's attack- defense,” but quickly cleared up the speculation. “I get so many narratives, I talk to haters just finding something to point out that they don't like me,” she wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “It's not even worth explaining because I'm just focusing on the music.”
