Big Sean announces the delay of his new album “Better Me Than You” just days before its scheduled release.
Big Sean’s highly anticipated sixth studio album, “Better Me Than You,” will not be arriving this Friday as originally planned. The 36-year-old rapper announced the postponement just days before its intended release date of August 9.
“I gotta push it just a lil bit. Music done but jus organizing listening events, shows etc. might need a extra week or 2 to plan,” Big Sean explained,.
On Monday, Big Sean took to Instagram to promote his latest single “On Up.” In his post, he hinted at a potential end-of-summer barbecue for his fans, writing, “I think I’ma throw a BBQ 4 real that we can all end summer wit, cause this song give me that feeling! BETTER ME THAN YOU ALBUM SOON! ☀️”
One fan, however, questioned Sean’s use of the words “album soon,” pointing out that the release was supposed to be imminent. The fan commented, “Why u saying album soon like it’s not suppose to drop on the 9th !!!???!??”
In response, Sean clarified the situation, explaining that he needed a bit more time. “I gotta push it just a lil bit. Music done but jus organizing listening events, shows etc. might need a extra week or 2 to plan. ✨,” he replied.
The delay comes after an earlier incident involving a leak of the album. Some fans speculated that the leak was orchestrated by a fan of Kanye West, while others alleged that Kanye himself was behind it. However, Big Sean dismissed these rumors. During an Instagram Live stream in July, he expressed his belief that Kanye had no involvement in the leak. “I know he ain’t do that shit. I love Ye. Without him, there would be no me,” Sean said. “I been there since Graduation. I got to study, contribute, give energy to every project. 808s, Beautiful Twisted… I know he wouldn’t do that, that’s trash. So whoever did do that, just know it did fuck me up.”
Despite the setback, Big Sean’s fans remain excited for the new album. The anticipation has only grown with the release of his latest single “On Up,” which has been well-received. The delay in the album’s release is aimed at ensuring everything is perfectly organized for the launch, including listening events and shows.
Big Sean’s career has been marked by numerous hits and collaborations, establishing him as a significant figure in the hip-hop community. His last album, “Detroit 2,” released in 2020, received critical acclaim and featured collaborations with artists like Eminem, Post Malone, and Lil Wayne. Fans are eager to see how “Better Me Than You” will follow up on this success.
The album’s title, “Better Me Than You,” suggests a theme of personal growth and introspection, which has been a consistent element in Sean’s music. Known for his reflective lyrics and motivational messages, Sean’s new album is expected to continue this trend, offering fans a mix of introspective tracks and high-energy anthems.
As of now, Big Sean has not announced a new release date for “Better Me Than You.” Fans are advised to stay tuned to his social media channels for updates. The rapper’s commitment to delivering a well-organized and impactful album release underscores his dedication to his craft and his audience.
In the meantime, fans can enjoy his latest single and look forward to what promises to be another strong addition to Big Sean’s impressive discography. Despite the delay, the excitement surrounding “Better Me Than You” remains high, and the eventual release is eagerly awaited by fans and critics alike.
