Sean, who was signed to Ye’s G.O.O.D. Music label from 2007 through 2021, fell out with Yeezy over finances tied to his recording contract, claiming he was owed millions. (Big Sean later deleted the tweet.)
At one point, West — who in recent years has faced backlash over his antisemitic hate speech — even called signing Sean Don the “worst thing I’ve ever done” in a 2021 interview with Drink Champs, but they’ve buried the hatchet and are back on good terms.
The Detroit rapper was the first guest Ye brought out on Thursday. The two ran through Cruel Summer classics such as top 15 Billboard Hot 100 hits “Clique” and “Mercy,” which also saw 2 Chainz join the Soldier Field party.
Big Sean also stuck around to perform his E-40-assisted “I Don’t F–k With You” anthem. The Mustard-produced track is now certified Diamond by the RIAA; it reached No. 11 on the Hot 100 back in 2015.
Before departing through the inside of Ye’s massive globe stage, Sean had an endearing message for Ye. “Chi-Town, I love you forever. Ye, I love you, bro, and I appreciate you,” he said. West returned the favor, “Love you, fam!”
In addition to Sean and 2 Chainz, Ye also had Future and Twista join him for night one in Chicago, which packed more than 45 songs into just more than two hours.
In 2020, Ye also promised to give his G.O.O.D. Music signees their masters back, as West owned 50 percent. “Thank you!!! This would help so much,” Sean said at the time on Twitter. Yeezy and Sean have teamed up on numerous occasions over the years, collaborating on other tracks such as “See Me Now,” “All Your Fault,” “One Man Can Change the World” and “Champions.”
West will return to the Soldier Field stage for another show on Friday night (Sept. 4).
