Folks seem to think Big Sean's new Roc Nation deal means he ditched Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music but the Detroit rapper recently took a moment to clarify the situation. 

"It's really more than management I feel like," he said, as reported by HipHopDX. "It's like an umbrella. It's like a family over there. I've had management before but it's just on a whole other level. And people are really personally involved, Hov is really personally involved and 'Ye of course, that's the bro right there. It's just kind of more like the business side of things, Roc Nation, that's my umbrella...It's just like a family and I'm still with 'Ye. 'Ye was the one that was like, 'I think you should incorporate them and use these guys.' He uses them too. It was a family thing." 

Reiterating that the Roc Nation deal doesn't represent a step away from G.O.O.D. Music, the "Control" rhymer made it clear that he has no intentions of leaving the label any time soon.   

"I guess me and 'Ye are G.O.O.D. Music but it's other people on G.O.O.D. Music too," he said of his and Kanye West's being the only G.O.O.D. Music signees working with Roc Nation. "I know when we announced we were doing business with Roc Nation people were like, 'You left Kanye?' That would be the dumbest thing ever. Just to clarify that, it's all fam...on G.O.O.D. Music, on the forefront, for life. I'm repping that." 

Upon announcing his new Roc Nation family, Big Sean released four new songs, including a presumed diss track for Naya Rivera. Check the new music out here.
