Big Sean Says He Never Would've Made 'IDFWU' If He Knew Naya Rivera Would Die Tragically | PeopleTV

I hope this young man gets the help he needs, he must of had a lot of hate and hurt in his heart to write such a demeaning song about another human being, I can only pray he find peace and wisdom in this life.

He shouldn’t have made the song at all. Him saying he wouldn’t have made it if he would’ve known she would die tragically, is just disgusting. Like, how disrespectful can you be?

[travistakamori]

Man it’s been little over half way through this year and so far it’s been a crazy one. So much deaths (celebrities or just victims of COVID-19) and we still got 4 more months to go through.

Both Naya & Big Sean made this situation confusing. When Sean first released the song he said it wasn't a diss to Naya but then turned around later in 2015 & did interviews like sway in the morning, complex, etc & said that Naya partially inspired a couple lines in the song ("And every day I wake up celebrating shit, why? / Cause I just dodged a bullet from a crazy bitch.", & " I heard you got a new man i see you taking a pic, then you posted up thinking that its making me sick ") . But then Naya talked about him & the song in her book, said she heard the hook & the chorus of it, thought the song was dope but asked him not to put the words "EX OR HER NAME" in it, & when she heard it she got mad, thought he was adding fuel to the fire but then she turned around & went on The real & said she didn't know who the song was about & that she heard it prior to it being released. Now Sean is back tracking & saying that it wasn't a diss to her & that he wouldn't had made the song if he knew she was gonna die tragically. At the end of the day, Naya Liked the song and even performed it, they made amends & forgave each other, & moved on. I don't think it was truly a diss song towards her because only one line was truly directed to her & any real hip-hop fan know that in Diss tracks rappers usually name drop the person they are dissing/uses directive lines towards them which really wasn't the case in this tbh. People just need to let Sean grieve, have regrets & let Naya Rest in Peace !

Ugh...Why is he making it about him? Still.

[milanimorales]

Its 2023 and one of Big Sean's songs played on the radio. He said "my new chick is on Glee and sh*t; prolly making more money than me and sh*t."😢💔
It really hit me then😢

[saharvarona]

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:16-18.

She poked fun at it though. She used it on lip sync battle

[KMcKenzie]
