Big Sean recently aired out his grievances with Kanye West, such as being owed $6 million, following his departure from G.O.O.D. Music. Sean Don and Hit-Boy joined Million Dollaz Worth of Game on Sunday (November 14), where the Detroit native explained why Kanye can be tough to work with.
When it comes to collaborating on a Kanye West project, Sean says he’s been burned one too many times so he doesn’t celebrate a feature credit with Ye until the song is officially released. Sean revealed he’s been taken off tracks without a phone call in the past or the track just doesn’t end up coming out.
“Kanye can be very hard to work it,” Big Sean admitted while Hit-Boy chimed in, “I thought you was gonna say that first. “Kanye will have you re-do a verse 10 times and not use them,” Sean continued before Hit-Boy added, “[Kanye will have you] redo some drums 10 times.”
Big Sean continued, “With ‘Clique,’ I did that verse on the fly so there’s like eight other verses on there. After him and Hov met up, they cut everybody but they was like, ‘Leave Sean on there, he went too crazy with the hook.'”
Sean Don made sure to clarify that his Million Dollaz Worth of Game comments weren’t in response to Kanye West’s recent Drink Champs interview since the podcast was recorded weeks earlier.
Kanye and Big Sean have had a falling out since Sean announced he’s no longer signed to G.O.O.D. Music. During his Drink Champs chat, Yeezy called signing Big Sean the “worst decision of his career,” revealing he didn’t like how Sean and John Legend switched up on him when he was running for office in 2020.
Big Sean responded on Twitter by sharing a photo of him and Hit-Boy hanging out with Kanye, writing, “Was just wit this man, he ain’t say none of that!!! And this was after the interview! I’m dying laughing at you.”
It appears Soulja Boy isn’t the only one to have an issue with Kanye West when it comes to being left off Donda. During his Million Dollaz Worth of Game interview, Big Sean revealed he was cut from “Hurricane,” despite Kanye praising his verse.
“Even on the song ‘Hurricane,’ we did that song years ago,” Sean explained. “I was on that song and he called me like, ‘Your muthafuckin’ verse crazy on here.’ It didn’t come out when it was supposed to. It’s years old at this point and I don’t take things personal at all. My point is, I don’t get excited about anything until it’s done — until it’s out because things change for sure.”

Big Sean still managed to get his bars off over the “Hurricane” beat during a recent visit to the L.A. Leakers, though.

I love all 3 of these guys. Hit-Boy is finally getting the love, but when he mentions Kanye gets him to do the drums 10 times or Sean to do the verse 10 times it is to make that stuff perfect. Many great directors do the same when making movies. Kanye’s production is almost always amazing, Hit-Boy and many others often sound very similar perhaps because they dont “redo the drums 10 times”. Maybe the people at the top should have a little more Kanye in them (and kanye should probably have a little less) and we would get truly great music in hip hop again. It’s been a while. Production on Donda was amazing and the album could have been undisputed album of the year if it was trimmed down to like 15 tracks, too much fluff on there. CLB was boring, that Sean and hit boy thing was boring, kings disease 2 was good but again the beats were boring after a while.
Donda was horrible
Music is subjective it’s a classic in my opinion ..sound wise it’s really amazing.
it was garbage oh and in hip hop we never say “it’s a classic imo” its something to father time
Shut the fuck up you gatekeeping ass lame bitch. Donda was a solid album. Cry some more.
ok conye
Drake is that you hating on Donda?
corny as hell oh btw they both trash
It wasn’t trash but def wasn’t up to the bar that it set with all the sheninagens involved with it
To think we don’t currently have great hip hop is absurd. The problem is it’s now super easy for someone to create music, so you have an influx of garbage that you have to sift through to find the good shit.
This i totally agree with.
It’s a good thing you didn’t work with Dre. Dude will make you say one word 50 times till he thinks you got it right, THEN shelf the project forever.
I loved Kanye’s early stuff, but the stuff that he has done lately isn’t for me. I listened to Donda a couple of times and I just couldn’t get with it. J. Cole’s The Off-season and NAs’ KD2 were outstanding in my opinion. It’s great to have a variety of sounds to choose from.
DONDA was on point. he should have just reduced the tracklist
With egomaniacs, if you don’t cater to them they don’t like you, but if you do cater to them they don’t respect you. You just hhave to treat them like you would a sensitive teenage girl. Be the grown up, and walk out when they’re having their tantrum, as soon as they need attention again they’ll apologize.
