Big Sean recently sat down with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN for the latest episode of "Drink Champs," where he shared a story about being in the studio with Kanye and Jay-Z when he was still an unknown rapper.
Big Sean explained that he brought along one of his friends along with him to Hawaii for the recording session, which was for Kanye's 2010 project My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and while there, Big Sean's friend snapped a photo of the three rappers and tweeted it. Big Sean explained that after media outlets began picking up his friend's post, Kanye and Jay-Z approached Big Sean, thinking he planted the photos.
"I don’t know who saw it, but it got to either Ye or Hov’s attention and they thought it was me! It didn’t make any sense because I wasn’t even really on at that time and it was like, ‘Kanye, JAY-Z, Beyoncé, Big Sean.’ People were like, ‘Who the f**k is Big Sean?!’ It looked like I planted this sh*t."
Big Sean added, "When we talked about, I told them, 'I don't even know what the f**k you're talking about.' I explained to [Kanye] who it was and he was like, 'You gotta f**king fire him. We've all done this, we've hired the people that we love. But people were mad at you thinking that you were being thirsty. And it was your mans.'"
"So I told [my friend], 'I'm in a position where it's Ye and Hov saying you gotta go. I'm sorry bro, we gotta figure out something else.'"
