Big Sean has addressed claims that he dissed Lil Yachty on his new album Better Me Than You.
On the Pressure Edition bonus track “Wire Me,” Sean appeared to throw shade at the Atlanta rapper by spitting: “I mean, I might have to even throw ’em a lil’ boat — pff / I’m seein’ n-ggas gettin’ drowned out ’cause they can’t switch up the flow / Just give ’em a year or two, and they gettin’ exposed.”
In an interview with Complex, however, Sean set the record straight and denied that the lyrics were aimed at Yachty, who actually appears on the album.
“I wasn’t talking about [Lil Yachty],” he clarified. “Yachty is on the album as well. On ‘Yes’ he’s doing adlibs with me. No, I’m not taking a jab at Yachty. It was like a whole double entendre. [If I was referencing him] that would have been a whole other entendre.”
The Detroit native added that there was leftover material from his recording sessions with Yachty: “He was in the studio with me while I was making the album. He actually has a verse on [‘Yes’] too. I might throw it on there later.”
Big Sean dropped his sixth album Better Me Than You on Friday (August 30), complete with appearances from Gunna, Kodak Black, Cash Cobain, Bryson Tiller, Larry June, Teyana Taylor, Charlie Wilson and more.

The star-studded supporting cast also includes Hollywood superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who makes a cameo on “Break the Cycle” in the form of an answer machine message congratulating Sean on being a father.
He says to Sean: “Yo, what’s up my brother? Great to hear from you. So, a few things. Most importantly, that sounds amazing. Your baby boy is nine months old, thriving. I love hearing that.
“And I’m sure that you were an inspired artist to begin with, like right out the gate, but I’m sure holding your baby boy gives you a whole new perspective. This new evolution of what inspiration means so I’m sure your motivation, inspiration is through the roof with your baby boy.”
Johnson then jokes: “What’s cool is your baby boy at nine months is almost already bigger than Kevin Hart so that’s really cool. Alright, my brother, I love you, man. So happy for you, man. Can’t wait to see your baby boy.”
