Big Sean opened up emotionally during an Instagram Live session on August 26, revealing the struggles behind his forthcoming album, Better Me Than You. The Detroit rapper, known for his introspective lyrics and dedication to his craft, shared how overthinking and intense work ethic have taken a toll on him, per HipHopDX.
“I am a chronic overthinker. I’m a chronic, constant worker. And I’ve been having a hard time lately, straight up. It’s not been easy… But it’s worth it,” Sean confessed, his voice breaking as he fought back tears. The artist disclosed that the album’s concept revolves around overcoming personal challenges and self-doubt, embodying the idea that “Better Me Than You” symbolizes the strength to endure one’s struggles. The emotional weight of the album is palpable, reflecting Sean’s personal battles and dedication.
Sean’s tearful admission came as he discussed the difficulties of balancing his artistic vision with external criticism. “When you make art, you put a lot into it,” he said. “I try and stay focused on the path and keep the music focused on what I want to do, no matter what people think.” The rapper emphasized the importance of staying true to himself despite the distractions and negativity that can cloud the creative process.
