Big Sean and Kanye West Reunite After Feud With Surprise Appearance in Chicago

Big Sean made a surprise appearance at Kanye West‘s homecoming concert at Soldier Field in Chicago to perform his hit single “I Don’t Fuck With You,” a sentiment that no longer seems to apply to the relationship between the two rappers who spent the past five years locked in a quiet feud.

West and Sean publicly fell out around 2021, when Sean claimed West owed him $6 million in a since-deleted post on X. That same year, West said signing Sean to his record label G.O.O.D. Music, through which his music was released from 2007 through 2021, was “worst thing I’ve ever done” — though it can’t have been worse than the antisemitic rants and racist remarks that have derailed his career over the past few years.

“Man, I know this man’s momma, bro, you know what I’m saying? I changed this man’s family and both John Legend and Big Sean — when I ran for office — got used quick by the Democrats to come at they boy that actually changed they life,” West said at the time. “And that’s some sellout shit. And I don’t rock with neither of them, and I need my apology. I ain’t saying they ain’t gonna change, but niggas is scared.”

Whether or not West has been holding a grudge against Sean all these years, his fans certainly were. In 2024, a West fan allegedly leaked much of Sean’s then-unreleased album online. “Since he wanna disrespect Ye so much, here’s the album. Fuck him and his whole team,” the fan said after Sean seemingly made a dig at West during an On the Radar freestyle. It’s all water under the bridge now.

Sean and West celebrated their reunion with performances of their collaborations “Clique” and “Mercy,” for which 2 Chainz also made an appearance at Soldier Field. “Chi-Town, I love you forever,” Sean said on stage. “Ye, I love you, bro, and I appreciate you.” West replied, “Love you, fam.” Other special guests at the show included Twista and Future.
