Since they were spotted
holding hands at the VMAs last month,
Big Sean has remained coy about rumors that he’s dating
Ariana Grande. The G.O.O.D. Music rapper was faced with the
question again during his visit to
“On-Air with Ryan Seacrest.”
Unlike his relationship with ex-fiancée Naya Rivera, Sean has decided to keep things to himself this time around.
“I like to keep my personal life personal,” he said. “But I am going to tell you this: That Ariana is very,
very special. She’s very special to me. Everything she has going on
is good with her, everything I have going on is good with me, everything between me and her is good, and I’m just going to leave it at that.”
Sean is putting the finishing touches on his third album and dropped
four songs including the Kanye West and DJ Mustard-produced
“I Don’t Fuck With You” featuring E-40.
In an interview with
106 KMEL, he revealed that Chris Brown is on his album (“It might be the [
single] after ‘IDFWU’”) and that he hopes to squeeze in a collaboration with Pharrell, who recently texted him.
He describes the follow-up to 2013′s
Hall of Fame as “darker” and “intense.”
“I’m just in straight beast mode. I’m not angry, but I’m
passionate,” said Sean. “I’m just going in to the best of my ability on
every single beat—not lagging, not cutting anything short, giving it 110 percent, going for blood.”
He confirmed that he is still signed to G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam, and
that Roc Nation is handling his management. “I wanted to try something
new on the business side of things,” he said.
In addition to
Kendrick Lamar, you may also hear Big Sean on Lil Wayne’s
Tha Carter V. “Check out
Tha Carter V, you might hear your boy on there,” he said.

The 26-year-old Superstar stepped out last night for a walk in New York
wearing sunglasses, a thigh-skimming LBD with a large trench coat and a
pair of shiny New Balance trainers. Last week, Rihanna
returned to her native country to attend the christening of her baby
cousin Majesty. At the ceremony she looked very different to her usual
racy pop girl attire, donning an elegant soft pink dress. Rihanna dubbed
herself 'Aunty OhNaNa', followed by a flurry of social media postings proudly showing off the adorable tot. 
OG Maco has been making waves in Atlanta with “U Guessed It.” Now the infectious anthem scores a guest verse from fellow ATLien 2 Chainz, who blesses the piano-driven track.

ATLiens Jeezy, Young Thug, and Rich Homie Quan for his new single “Right
Back.” Jizzle sets off the trappers’ anthem, while Thugger delivers the unmistakable hook.
