Sean reflected on what sparked Kanye’s interest in signing him a few years back.

“I’m always with him, and we hear other people rap, but he’s never signed anyone the way he’s signed me. He just saw the potential, and he followed through with it. He taught me to see the potential in people, and that’s something that you really have to be talented to do—to see the best in people even if it’s not at the forefront. That’s not an easy thing to do.” (The FADER)

The Detroit native also discussed the tough love Kanye dishes out.

“Hell yeah [he gives tough love]. Especially when I was first getting into it. He would tell me to rewrite stuff. In Hawaii, I’d see him tell everybody to rewrite raps. He would rewrite his own raps, too. But it’s not like he was hating on people; he was really trying to get people to a level of excellence. It’s gotta be better, it’s gotta be on this level, and that helped me get better. I, personally, have seen the progression in my work. I don’t know if anybody else has.” (The FADER)

Earlier this month, Sean talked about Kanye putting together a solid adidas collection with his new Yeezy 750 Boost sneakers.

He showed off the $350 sneakers and praised his mentor for his innovation. “Shout out to ‘Ye for not just executing the shoes, the clothes were really great,” said Sean. “I’ve never really seen a fashion show presented like that. … He changing the game as usual. Proud of my big bro, proud to be a part of a team that really cares about quality and just making a difference.” (Rap-Up)

A few days prior, Kanye hand delivered lucky adidas shoppers with his Boost kicks.
