Big Sean recently talked about his verse on Drake’s song “All Me,” which also features 2 Chainz. The Detroit rapper explained how the song came to fruition in an interview with MTV News

“[Drake] records a lot at his house in L.A., and I was recording in L.A. forHall of Fame,” Big Sean said. “So we’ll kick it and exchange music. [Producer] Key Wane had that beat, and it was funny because I wanted to use it for Hall of Fame and [Drake] wanted to use the beat, too.”

The Detroit rapper also explained what Drake thought when he submitted his verse.

“I had done a verse to [Key Wayne’s beat] and didn’t know [Drake] did a song to it,” Sean said. “I sent him the verse and [Drake’s] like, ‘You bodied this shit.’ Then we had the song forever. He was like, ‘I already did my verse and 2 Chainz did his verse, but we’ve gotta get the right chorus,’ and that took a while. But everything happened at the right time.”

“All Me” also allowed Sean to talk about his girlfriend, actress Naya Rivera. 

“I was in LA having dinner with my girl and I said something about her on the verse, too,” Big Sean said. “So she thought that was real funny.”

“Drake is my homie,” Sean said. “He gave me a lot of credit because I came up with [the] rhyme scheme a lot of people thought that he came up with…He kind of took that and used it on his track. A lot of people thought he did it. The thing is, he gave me credit for it like a real G.”
