Big Sean has seen his new album leaked online by a Kanye West fan, allegedly at the instruction of the G.O.O.D. Music founder himsmelf.
The leaker claimed to have released the project ahead of schedule after Sean took a shot at Kanye in his On the Radar freestyle.

“Since he wanna disrespect Ye so much, here’s the album, fuck him and his whole team,” the culprit wrote.
They also said: “Ye told me to leak it.”

Sean’s album is allegedly called Feelings & Random Thots (with an alternate title being Better Me Than You) and clocks in at 15 tracks.
The leaker claims that it features appearances from Nas, The-Dream and Sean’s girlfriend Jhené Aiko, while Variety reports that Brent Faiyaz and Charlie Wilson also make cameos.

Those who have heard the leaked files, however, believe it’s an unfinished version of the album, with one user writing on social media: “It’s CLEAR this album isn’t finished yet (many open verses, him tryna figure out his flow and cadence on a track) and was not ready for people to hear.
“It’s a high quality bad leak. It’s not even fair to review it.”

While it’s unclear whether Kanye West was indeed behind the leak, Big Sean himself addressed the commotion on social media and seemed to take the setback in stride.
He wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Might as well start droppin, before they leak it all, got damn. BIG SEAN x THE ALCHEMIST soon.”

His post was accompanied by an almost minute-long snippet of a new collaboration with The Alchemist which he teased a few days ago.
Sean’s aforementioned On the Radar freestyle, released earlier this week, contained several references to his former mentor Kanye West, who famously disparaged him on Drink Champs in 2021.
“I had to switch the home team ’cause they committed treason,” he rapped over Aaliyah‘s “If Your Girl Only Knew.” “N-ggas looking for engagement like they got their knee bent / I got better things to do than to find someone to beef with.”
Sean later spit: “Man, this industry is terrible, I can’t even vouch / I’ve seen grown men get matching tattoos for the clout.”

The latter line was a more obvious dig at Kanye who got indentical tattoos with Lil Uzi Vert and Steve Lacy in 2022. The trio all got the phrase, “We Here Forever Technically” inked on their biceps.
