Jhené Aiko And Big Sean: Relationship Timeline

by

We have not stopped doting on the fact that Jhené Aiko and Big Sean are brilliant at making music. What’s more endearing, however, is their brilliance at making and remaking up. Their relationship is a machine that knows what spoilers to withhold even before the novel is written! Almost all things in empirical life do not qualify as “steady”; nevertheless, some romantic feelings subliminally make the cut! Love can face constrictions and still be a constant.

The story began in a studio, a predictable place, which in any case, proceeded to prefigure a hit-and-miss almanac. Jhené spun on to attribute credit for their happiness to a firm platonic foundation, in a 2017 Billboard interview. Oh there’s more- she called him “family”! A relationship with a man who was technically taken was painfully what held them back initially. Thing is, Jhené’s overripe breakup could not quite do the needful, as Naya, and then, Ariana, surfaced notably. When the opportunity came plain as a pikestaff, the two did not waste it. From there, things started to get serious, rad, racy, and what have you. Although we can’t prophesy, we can chronologize the so-far… and chronologize we shall…

Twenty88 Theorized (2016)

Twenty88 is formally described as a hip hop duo and informally described as, well, Jhené Aiko and Big Sean. It’s beyond a career “faction”- it’s an appellation of their journey. In other words, it all dates back to Twenty88 (pun intended!). The duo’s album-namesake became publicly available in April 2016, to the excitement of every prospect- connoisseur or novice. As foreshadows would have it, the album centered on relationships, turning a music industry cliché into a serviceable tool.

Twenty88 was quite the season, actually. Early on would have been perfect timing, but complexly, a marriage– not a mere relationship- interfered with it. It didn’t stop the tour kiss though. Big Sean had minced his words in admitting his love for her, but the kiss told us way more. This was by no means 100%, as shippers were still in their control rooms, hankering for solid news.

Jhené Aiko and Big Sean: Twenty88 Practicalized (2016-2018)

Jhené’s divorce was the first separation from a third party that didn’t meet an obstruction. The match made in heaven evolved into a match made in NBA games, award shows, Coachella… in summary, earth! The two had started giving in to their feelings light years before the divorce was finalized. It was far from a small miracle when tattoo parlor bells started chiming. She tattooed his face on her arm, to the delight of fans, who thenceforth ceased to be stark shippers.

The tattoo move was a sonnet, ode; name it… but Jhené’s remark a month before, was a newborn genre! “He’s L-O-M-L”, she said in the interview. Enthrallingly, the initialism was bound to expose withheld details: a shortening complex is often a shoutout to your obsessions. This one obsession did encounter a setback though, as she had her tattoo remodeled into astrolatry?? People feared it foreran bad news, and in March 2019, the judicious fans turned out to be regrettably right.

Breakup “Postpartum” (2019)

Big and Jhené did not hesitate to come out with their feelings- even after a breakup! In an IG comment, Jhené touchingly proclaimed her love for Big Sean, using outrightly Titanic expressions. Big Sean reciprocated the display in an appreciative tweet, acknowledging her support toward “Single Again”. “I love you unconditionally”- those were his timely words- the breakup was the very “condition” that justified the adverb. Speaking of “Single Again”, the ex-lovers clearly used music as a coping mechanism- and as a carrier pigeon! Jhené cleared up Sean-based misconceptions about her song “Triggered”; meanwhile, “Single Again” was more of the proxy bond.

The “single” in “Single Again” was very philosophical, as Sean’s twitter thread had hinted at. It however did not hide the fact that their split was not on the grounds of a feelings-decline. This personal song doubled as a diplomatic song, given it got us out of the dark substantially. Not mentioning Jhené Aiko’s background vocals, the very sauce in the narrative, would be a serious omission. In the main, the two were superb at transmuting their feelings into positive energy. As far as the breakup postpartum was concerned, they handled it, killed it, and slayed in it!

Big Aiko Coruscates (2019-2022)

“None of Your Concern” was the first signal that the post-split phase had started to get libidinous. The song afforded Big Sean the platform to reminisce about making “someone” climax nine times in one day. Fans had then become “shippers on resumption”. The points where you couldn’t totally discard the dating rumors were quite numerous. Lunch date, birthday date, amorous pictures… there was hardly any dating vocabulary you couldn’t use for their look-sees. It kept getting more piquant, as Valentine’s Day wriggled its way into that lexicon as well!

Back to the IG dashboard, Big Sean congrats-babyed her on the release of Chilombo. On her birthday, he reiterated this in a caption: “always proud but never surprised”. He went further to tap into her Titanic vibe: “I love you from da past life to the next”. Not even the pandemic could halve their distance! The same lockdown was very much in effect when Sean and Jhené jocosely alluded to a marriage proposal. Their eternal play date, of course, spilled over to 2022. Jhené marked Sean’s birthday with pictures from their relationship and a chevalier-conferring caption. The season was a merry-go-round, but as it would turn out, the longer route takes you there too!

Jhené Aiko and Big Sean: A Literal Postpartum (2022-2023)

By the second half of 2022, Big Sean couldn’t wait to be a dad, and he was, in fact, going to be one! IG sentiments seemed to tell it all, until Sean took his soon-to-be-expanded ménage to his hometown. The audience gave a hysterical roar after an LA performance, when the two revealed they were expecting a boy. All the more, the couple consolidated the global ambience with a Halloween tribute to Juno, a 2007 film. Strategically enough, the film was about a pregnant teenager- Jhené is a genius! – or whoever came up with the idea.

In November at last, Noah Hasani departed planet womb. Sean was thrilled to meet his first child (Jhené’s second). He relished his joy by posting a picture of Noah’s fingers wrapped around his in the most adorable way. What better compensation for the miscarriage he disclosed in “Deep Reverence”? Perhaps, we’re free to expect references to this great leap in the forthcoming Twenty88 sequel.

December last year, something caught our eyes yet again. Big Sean flashed a ring in the studio, in the course of marriage-suggestive lines. Curious fans, as usual, had a lot to deduce from this. Indeed, guesses can score some points, but only the actual couple can “know” well enough. It’s certain to all regardless, that they understand their bond on a higher level. Only two months ago, they were singing “I Know” to the newest Twenty88ian. Parenting takes a lot of falsetto, and fortunately, that’s right up their alley!

Quentin Miller Accuses Big Sean Of Attempting To Deny Him Songwriting Credits

by

DJ Vlad is notorious for getting rappers to open up about some pretty wild topics throughout their interviews with him.

One of the most recent artists to sit down with VLADTV is Quentin Miller. During their conversation, the “Arkham Asylum” rapper dishes on an array of different topics.

However, one rapper he decided to hone in on, is Big Sean. It all begins when Vlad brings up other artists that Miller has worked with in the past, mentioning G-Eazy, Sean and Ty Dolla $ign. However, upon hearing the “Blessings” rapper’s name, he decides to open up about their experiences together. “Yeah I worked with Big Sean. Big Sean, man, that really broke my heart,” he begins.

He goes on to detail meeting him for the first time in the studio with Drake for the recording of the aforementioned “Blessings.” “When I get to working with Sean on this last project, the What You Expect [EP] with Hit-Boy, I’m part of three songs. There’s only six songs on there. Man, we texting and talking everyday. I’m pullin’ up on Sean’s crib, like, every other day,” he continues afterwards.

Miller says he had a full-circle moment when he noticed that there was a plaque for “Blessings” up in the Detroit native’s house. “Maybe, like, a week before the album drops, he’s just not responding to me at all. Then, like a week before, I’m in the studio with Hit-Boy, I just randomly hear in a conversation with Hit, ‘yeah, the album drops next week.’ I’m like, ‘wait, what?’ I didn’t even know,” says the “Potential” rapper.

When the EP did drop, his name wasn’t initially in the credits for the first three months. “I didn’t know we was doin’ the ghostwriter thing, ’cause if that was the case, I would’ve asked for some cash,” says Miller. Allegedly, Sean and his team were attempting to explain that they had to get all of the paperwork done firstly. However, everybody else who was involved in the project, had their respective names in the credits.

Elsewhere in the lengthy sit down, Miller details writing “R.I.C.O.” and sending it to DJ Drama. He says he wasn’t aware that Meek and Drake were using the reference track to release it on their own.

Of course, Meek Mill publicly called out Drake for using Miller as his ghostwriter during their notorious beef in 2015.

Quentin Miller Says Big Sean Ghosted Him After Contributing to “Blessings”

by
Quentin Miller Says He Never Got Paid from Drake Songs

Quentin Miller is speaking his truth. Miller, best known for his contributions to some of Drake’s 2015 project, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, had expressed his disappointment in Big Sean after the Detroit rapper ghosted him when it came time to pass out songwriting credits.

In an interview on Vlad TV, Quentin Miller states, “Big Sean, man, that really broke my heart, man. My first time meeting Big Sean was with the ‘Blessings’ song way back in the day. I remember meeting him in the studio with Drake. He kept asking about parts of the song. Eventually, after the third time he asked, Drake told him, ‘Yo, me and Q…’ Whatever, that’s what they called him.”

Released in 2015, “Blessings” is a collaborative effort between Big Sean, Drake, and Kanye West found on Big Sean’s album Dark Sky Paradise. And depending on if Miller would be considered a “ghostwriter” on the record, the Atlanta artist reveals he would have appreciated cash upfront. 

Miller states that after the “Blessings” sessions, Big Sean recruited him to work on his collaborative project with producer Hit-Boy, titled What You Expect.

Miller continues, “So when I get to working with Sean on this last project, the What You Expect  with Hit-Boy, I’m part of three songs. There’s only six songs on there. Man we texting and talking every day. I’m pulling up on Sean’s crib like every other day. I remember one day I’m at his crib, I see the BET Hip Hop Award for ‘Blessings’. I’m like man, I didn’t know it won an award. He’s like ‘yeah bro you don’t even know, that song helped me a lot.’ I’m like, this a full circle moment.”

“So I’m really looking forward to it,” Miller states. “Maybe a week before the album drops, he’s just not responding to me at all. A week before, I’m in the studio with Hit-Boy, I randomly hear in a conversation with Hit, he’s got an album dropping in a week. I’m like what? I didn’t even know. I start hitting him, then I’m getting texts from his manager. Now I’m only getting texts from his manager. What happened?”

He reveals that after the project releases, the paperwork was incomplete and Miller’s name was not on the credits. In fact, his name wasn’t on the credits for the first three months. 

“I’m blowing them up like ‘yo wassup man?’ because I didn’t know we were doing the ghostwriter thing. If that was the case, I would have asked for some cash. They’re like ‘Nah man, until we get all the paperwork, we can’t get all the names on the credit.” But everybody else’s name is on there. The features, the keyboard players, everybody.”

Miller states Big Sean’s team tried to “play him on the publishing,” and he had to fight to get his credits. For the first few months, Miller’s name was only on one song on Spotify and decided to stay quiet about his contributions to the project. 

Miller closes by saying he was utterly “hurt and disappointed” by the entire situation.

Big Sean and Jhene Aiko are enjoying spending their time with their new bundle of joy. Their son, Noah, was born this past November, as the parents revealed via Instagram. In a recent post on her Instagram story, Aiko shared a picture of her with Noah, breastfeeding. The story was captioned “2 months.”

Since the birth of Noah, both Aiko and Sean have remained fairly low-key on social media. Sean shared a picture of himself holding Noah on Thanksgiving, captioned “First holiday wit my big boy Noah.”

Aiko has since released the second volume of her Sleep Soul album series, which contains R&B-influenced lullabies composed ideally for babies to help them fall asleep.

At Christmas time, Sean shared a photo gallery of him and the family on Instagram, which has since been deleted, celebrating Noah’s first Christmas.

“My Boy first Christmas, Santa had to make an appearance for him,” read the post’s caption (per People) “Happy Holidays! Love on yo people, they only here for a limited time.”

In terms of music, Sean made an appearance on Ab-Soul’s most recent album, Herbert. He also took to Twitter last month to reveal that he is working on new music of his own, noting that he is “85% done recording” his new album.

Jhene Aiko Shares A Glimpse Of Newborn Son Noah On Social Media

Nearly two months after giving birth to her and Big Sean’s son Noah, Jhene Aiko is offering her internet fans a small glimpse of the adorable newborn. Posting to her Instagram Story and 16 million followers, the “Sativa” singer” cradles him in her arms with the caption “two months.”

Aiko welcomed Noah with the Detroit rapper in November 2022. She wrote on Instagram at the time, “After 24 hours of labor, a total lunar eclipse, and while it was pouring rain… he came 🥹 my baby Yoda, my Sani 💙.”

Noah is the first child for Big Sean and the second for Aiko, who also shares a teenage daughter with singer O’Ryan.

The new parents, who previously formed the hip-hop duo Twenty88 several years ago, have been working on their next project together. Sitting down with Billboard last year, the California native revealed, “With the first Twenty88, we were playing characters — and that was really fun because we both like to act, and love watching movies. Expect more theatrics on the next one.”

“I’m working on a few other projects too that I’m really excited to share,” she continued. “I don’t want people to be disappointed if it doesn’t happen when I want, but it will be when the time is right, because I like to be intuitive with my releases.”

On maintaining privacy in the public eye, Aiko also told the outlet, “Both of us have learned to be more private in our relationship, and treat it like the special thing it is. It’s the same with my relationship with my daughter. I’m not going to post everything, because we’re being more present with each other. It doesn’t have to be shared to be real.”

Big Sean also recently announced his return to the music scene, saying last month that new music will come in 2023.
