In a recent interview, rapper Big Sean revealed an intriguing anecdote involving fellow artists Beyoncé and Jay-Z. He recounted that Beyoncé found his 2014 hit “I Don’t F*ck With You” disrespectful, while Jay-Z had a differing perspective.

The Song in Question

“I Don’t F*ck With You,” featuring E-40, was released in September 2014 as the lead single from Big Sean’s third studio album, Dark Sky Paradise. The track achieved significant commercial success, peaking at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and earning multi-platinum certifications in several countries.

Reactions from Beyoncé and Jay-Z

According to Big Sean, Beyoncé perceived the song’s content as disrespectful, possibly due to its explicit language and themes.
