G.O.O.D. Music’s Big Sean is more than just disgusted with EA Sports right now. The hip-hop star has reacted to learning his Colin Kaepernick “Big Bank” reference is removed from Madden 19.
Sean Don went to Twitter Thursday (August 2) to reveal he had nothing to do with the decision and to share his frustrations.
It’s disappointing and appalling @NFL & @EA took @Kaepernick7’s name out of my verse on Big Bank for Madden 19, like it was a curse word. When he's not a curse, he's a gift! Nobody from my team approved any of this.

A few hours ago, a video went viral revealing early Madden 19 releases didn’t have Sean’s “Big Bank” Kaepernick line.
The game doesn’t officially drop until next week, but people who have gotten their hands on an early copy have noticed Kaep’s name was scrubbed from Sean’s verse on YG’s song “Big Bank” featuring 2 Chainz and Nicki Minaj. What you’re supposed to hear is “Feed me to the wolves now I lead the pack and sh*t. You boys all cap, I’m more Colin Kaepernick” … but aside from the obvious edits to keep the lyrics rated PG, the game also took the Kaep shout-out off the track. (TMZ)
bad enough @Kaepernick7 still not signed, but now they even edit his name out in this year’s @EAMaddenNFL during @BigSean verse, smh pic.twitter.com/3nvkB26z5r

Back in June, G.O.O.D. Music’s Pusha-T linked up with Colin for an epic photo moment.

Over the past year, various hip-hop stars have dished on their respect for Kaepernick amid his publicized pro-Black Lives Matter national anthem protests.
