Big Sean recently attempted to clarify his long-rumored beef with Kendrick Lamar, but he now faces accusations he’s imitating the Pulitzer Prize winner’s flow. 

On Tuesday (August 20), Sean continued his Better Me Than You rollout with a gritty Lyrical Lemonade-produced video for his latest single, “Yes.” 

However, social media users believe Big Sean was heavily influenced by Kendrick Lamar. Amid the compliments, multiple comments about the “K. Dot flow” stood out in the Detroit MC’s Instagram comment section.

It was a similar story on X (Twitter) where users claimed they could hear similarities with K. Dot or even his cousin Baby Keem in Sean’s latest song. 

“Big Sean disliked kendrick lamar so much he started writing & sounding like they are family,” one user wrote. “Study your competition, don’t stalk them,you might just become a fam.”  

 “seeing Big Sean do his best Kendrick Lamar/Baby Keem impersonation on “Yes” is pure comedy,” added another. 

A third person claimed Sean “turned into kendrick” after the Compton rapper dissed him on the original version of“ELEMENT.” 

Big Sean Claims Kendrick Lamar Apologised For “ELEMENTS” Diss

Earlier this month, Sean revealed he prepared a response to “ELEMENT,” but scrapped it after K. Dot’s pgLang co-founder Dave Free told him it wasn’t a shot at him. While Big Sean admitted he was upset by the diss on the leaked version, he got over it because Kendrick Lamar cut it from the album version of “ELEMENT.” 

Moreover, Sean explained that K. Dot apologized to him, so he never responded when the leak surfaced.  

However, not everybody was convinced that Sean bit Lamar’s flow. Fans came to his defense, insisting that the “Yes” cadence is nothing new for Big Sean. 

“Y’all showing your age thinking Big Sean stole that from baby Keem,” one person stated. “Big Sean been doing that for 10+ years.”
