The importance of advocacy and service was instilled in Sean at a very young age by his late grandmother, Mildred V. Leonard. She was a World War II veteran and one of the first Black female officers in the army. Last Wednesday (6/15), Mildred’s battalion was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal at the Military Women’s Memorial.

Mildred was part of Women’s Army Corps’ 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all-Black, all-female battalion sent overseas during the war. The battalion’s success led to the desegregation of the military.

Following these incredible accolades and awards, Sean and his non-profit, the Sean Anderson Foundation, will continue to assist, uplift and empower underserved communities. The foundation is currently planning its annual D.O.N. (Detroit’s on Now) Weekend to celebrate and give back to the Detroit families, entrepreneurs, teachers and long-standing institutions who are the backbone of the city.

Big Sean and Jhené Aiko Reportedly Expecting Child

Big Sean and Jhené Aiko

Long-time on-again, off-again couple Big Sean and Jhené Aiko are reportedly expecting their first child together, multiple sources claim.

Over the weekend, Twitter user @KenKiablo posted: “I jus saw Jhene Aiko and Big Sean at Whole Foods and she’s very pregnant  iktr Sean.”

The claim seems to be backed up by Aiko’s Instagram posts, which feature the artist in baggy clothing, possibly hiding her pregnancy with the “Bounce Back” rapper. Sources close to the two have also confirmed the rumors.

The pair have been on and off for many years, getting together in 2016 before breaking up and then reconciling in 2019. For the past few years, they had kept their relationship pretty much under wraps. However, it appeared that they were together (or at least on good terms) at this year’s Coachella when Big Sean brought Aiko onstage for his single “I Know” from his Dark Sky Paradise album. During the performance, he appeared affectionate, hugging Aiko as she seductively danced with him during the song.

If true, this would be Big Sean’s first child and Aiko’s second child. Aiko has a 13-year-old son, Namiko Love Browner, from a previous relationship.

Singer Jhene Aiko celebrated her 34th rotation around the sun yesterday. On her birthday, her boyfriend Big Sean sent her benedictions by way of Instagram, sharing pictures and video clips of the couple throughout the years.

“Happy Birthday to my best friend, my love, the most authentic, talented, healing, Creative, angelic person/Alien I know!,” said the “Bounce Back” rapper in the caption. “Im lucky to have you in my life and to be apart of yours, let’s change the world even more! I love you Efuru.

Aiko is an ardent Pisces, often referencing her birth date, the John 3:16 bible verse, and variations of the number “316” in her music. Her debut EP, Sail Out, contains a song called “3:16 A.M.” and on “W.A.Y.S.,” a cut from her Souled Out album, she opens the song singing “at 44 minutes ’til four, an angel walked up to my door.”

Last month, Sean shared plans to release a follow-up to his and Aiko’s 2016 collaborative album, Twenty88.

“We’ve been working on it for a little bit,” Sean said of the album in a live stream. “It’s coming along though.”

Aiko is set to perform a few festivals this summer, including the women-led Sol Blume festival and the inaugural Letsgetfr.ee Carnaval.
