More details surrounding Big Sean's forthcoming third studio album are coming into the picture. Today (Oct. 17) in a new interview with Angie Martinez, the "I Don't F**k With You" rapper opened up about a tentative fourth quarter release date for his new album and a very special guest musician - his girlfriend Ariana Grande.
Sean started off the interview talking about his new single "I Don't F**k With You," revealing that it wasn't wholly about his ex-fiancée Naya Rivera and that he actually wrote it way back in February. He released it now at the suggestion of Jay Z and Kanye West and is hoping to build the track's momentum into a holiday release date.
"Man, we can't wait to drop the album," he said. "Hopefully it can be a stocking stuffer. It seems like the temperature's right, people are really reacting to the 'I Don't F**k With You' record. People are loving some of the other tracks."
Sean also continued to open up about his new girlfriend, Ariana Grande, and revealed that they've collaborated on yet another new song for his record.
"She's amazing. We enjoy each other. We're happy and everything is good," he said about his relationship with the "Love Me Harder" singer. "She's on a song on my album, though. It's something fresh. I was just playing it for somebody and they were like, 'Woah!' She hasn't done anything like this - it's kind of more my element."
One person who will not be on Big Sean's new album, however, is Eminem. Though Sean revealed that he had been in the studio with Em just last night (Oct. 16) in Detroit, he also made sure to emphasize that there won't be any Slim Shady on his album.
"I'm pretty sure I'm not going to have an Eminem feature on my album," he said. "We have something that we're working on; I just want to say that so people aren't like 'Oh man, Eminem is gonna be on Big Sean's album!' We do have something we're working on. That's all I'm going to say about that. I don't know what it's for."
