American rapper, Big Sean is still not ready to tie the knot with longtime girlfriend Jhené Aiko.
The “I Don’t Fuck With You” rapper, 36, stated he hasn’t married the “Bed Peace” singer, also 36, after eight years of dating because “there’s a lot of work that needs to be done.”
“It’s a little personal, you know what I mean?” he said.
“But just like to be real with you, just like any people who have dealt with love, we’ve had our ups and downs … And I think it’s still finding the right navigation through it all. To me, marriage symbolizes like, the best relationship.”

The Detroit emcee, born Sean Anderson, said that marriage being something people are required to do is “almost a fear-based way of thinking.”
Sean also noted that although divorce rates are “so fucking high” right now, he’s not completely against the idea of saying “I do” in the future.
“I would like to, and I don’t like putting our personal business out there like that either, but there’s a lot of work that needs to be done,” he admitted.
The “Bounce Back” rapper said he and Aiko have “so many relationships,” including being peers, lovers, parents to their 1-year-old son, Noah, and musical collaborators in their group, Twenty88.
“It’s a crazy connection because, no matter what, we’re always going to be tied together,” he shared.
“So I think that that doesn’t discount that, like she and I both have to be on the same page, not to say we aren’t, but I feel like I can only speak for myself that there needs to be like more work done so we could keep going.”
Big Sean
Aiko and Sean have dated on and off since the release of their album, “Twenty88”, in 2016.
At the time their romance blossomed, the “While We’re Young” songstress was married to producer Dot da Genius. She filed for divorce in August 2016, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.
In November 2022, Sean and Aiko welcomed their son, Noah. The “Triggered” singer is also mom to daughter Namiko, 15, whom she shares with singer O’Ryan.
Although Sean isn’t ready for marriage with Aiko, he previously proposed to ex-girlfriend Naya Rivera in October 2013. However, the “Play No Games” rapper and the “Glee” alum, who died in 2020, called off their engagement six months later.
Kendrick Lamar Apologizes To Big Sean Over Leaked Verse Diss
Big Sean opened up about a past feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar.
The Detroit-based MC shared that Kendrick Lamar had apologized to him over a diss that surfaced in a leaked verse from several years ago.
The conflict stemmed from a leaked early version of Kendrick Lamar’s song Element, part of his acclaimed album ‘Damn’. In the leaked verse, Kendrick Lamar directly addressed Big Sean, implying friction between them.
However, Big Sean revealed that the issue had been resolved between them long ago. He clarified that Kendrick Lamar had since apologized for the lines and that they had a private conversation about it.
“The thing is, that some came out and he changed that bar, right? So that wasn’t on the song anymore, it was a leaked verse,” Sean said.
“So I had to keep that in mind because I was pissed when I heard it. So then I’m like, ‘OK, he changed that on his own, so he probably came to the conclusion that it was nothing. So then, me and him talked. And I got the texts in my phone.”
Big Sean
Their fans are surprised by the news, as they have followed the feud between both rappers since the leaked verse came out. It’s very common in hip-hop culture for conflicts to become public, but it’s not uncommon for the artist to settle calmly with no feud.
Big Sean’s latest album, Better Me Than You, is set to release and make his career more bright as he resolves his recent events peacefully. He dedicated his song to his son Noah.
The music video was filmed from Noah’s viewpoint, and it shows Sean’s personal growth and his connection with his family.
Sean was thankful for the support of his family, especially noting how his partner Jhené Aiko helped with the music video even though she’s very busy. He stressed how important family is and how he wants to make lasting memories for his son.
Regarding Kendrick Lamar, this reconciliation shows a change from his earlier lyrics about Big Sean.
Both artists, celebrated for their contributions to rap music, appear to have moved beyond any past tensions. They are now concentrating on their art and personal development.
Fans are eagerly waiting to see how Big Sean’s upcoming album and the excitement around his latest release will be influenced by this period of reconciliation. They are curious about what this means for his future music and collaborations.
