Big Sean remembers an old gift for his Thanksgiving celebration!

The rapper was signed to Kanye West's record label "G.O.O.D. Music" when he first got into the industry and collaborated with major artists, including Ye, for many years. Despite a few controversial utterances from the label owner towards him, he has chosen to remember better times based on his recent post.

After sharing two super cute father-son photos in celebration of his first Thanksgiving as a parent, Big Sean took to his Instagram story to give a quick history of where his attire for the intimate event came from.

Dressed in a black blazer and pants, and his hair lay in cornrows, the 34-year-old paired it with black dinner shoes and a white inner shirt with about two buttons left open. He accessorized it with a double-layered diamond piece. In the caption, the "Dance (Ass)" artist explained the origin of the jacket, writing:

"Ye gave me this Balmain 1 of 1 sample jacket 7 years ago when we shot the All Your Fault video (love that song). It was always too big, but i finally got my weight up, finally wore it… to the living room n kitchen to eat on T.G. [palms up emoji]."

Fans of the star might begin to think it was a dig to his former mentor as the XXL Mag reported last December that the "Bounce Back" rapper had some choice of words for his older colleague during his appearance on the "Drink Champs" podcast.

The "The College Dropout" rapper had earlier stated on an episode of the same program that signing the "Blessings" star was the worst decision he had ever made. The Detroit native responded that he still loved Ye but believed his words were entirely out of line, adding, "At first, I thought it was hilarious. I thought the sh*t was funny."

He told the hosts that it became personal because "he was the only artist to put out five albums under G.O.O.D. Music." The "I Don't Fu*k with You" rapper also revealed that DJ Cudi, a former member, left a long time ago due to different business ideas and that despite that, they still "clique up and linked up."

Big Sean noted that the five works he released got him back-to-back number ones on the billboard, platinum, and double platinum albums. The father-of-one praised the C.E.O. by saying that signing with the record label was still a "golden opportunity," which changed his life.

The "Detroit 2" star said that he loved the entrepreneur for that, which was why he would always answer him when he called. Sean added that whenever Ye called him to contribute to a track, he would be there adding, "And have done this and not asked for publishing a lot of the times. Why? Because he gave me a gold opportunity of signing to G.O.O.D. Music."

The "Finally Famous" artist admitted that the signing did not favor him financially as he disclosed that Ye owes him six million dollars, so it irked him to hear what the "Donda 2" rapper said about him. He noted that even his manager saw the deal and said, "This is a shitty record deal."

The 34-year-old revealed that Ye reached out to him after the episode aired, asking him to meet with him and his mother to "begin healing on both sides," which made him angry because he was publicly humiliated for nothing. 

The "Wolves" rapper noted that while he loves the award-winning rapper, he "thought what he said was on some bitch-ass shit. And I thought that wasn't godly. It was a personal attack for no reason, and he ain't have to do all that."
