Big Sean‘s 2015 smash hit “IDFWU” is teetering on Diamond status, but the track almost didn’t see the light of day … that is, had he taken Beyoncé‘s advice over Jay-Z‘s!!!
Sean Don was a recent guest on NFL brothers’ Equanimeous and Amon-Ra St. Brown‘s podcast and said he considered bottling the biggest hit of his career after Queen Bey deemed it pretty disrespectful.
The Mustard-produced jam is a thinly veiled diss at his ex-girlfriend, the late Naya Rivera, after they split and Beyoncé suggested he add Nicki Minaj on the track to give the ladies a platform for their scorn to even things out.
E-40 was then added as a guest star and Sean’s world changed on September 19, 2014, when he released the track … helping his “Dark Sky Paradise” album shoot to the top of the Billboard 200 and become a double platinum classic album.
