Grammy-nominated rapper Big Sean and soulful R&B star Jhené Aiko have reportedly ended their long-term relationship
This occurred after nearly ten years of music, love, and shared memories, a quiet but emotional close to one of music’s most beloved partnerships.
According to reports from AllHipHop and Pulse Nigeria, the breakup was rooted in a difference over long-term commitment. Insiders claim that while Aiko was ready for marriage, Sean remained hesitant to formalise their union. “She wanted marriage — she wanted the commitment,” a source revealed. “Sean loves her deeply, but he just never wanted to take that final step.”
The couple’s chemistry first lit up the industry in 2016 when they released their joint project TWENTY88, blending love and lyricism in a way that fans instantly adored. Over the years, they became one of hip-hop’s most recognisable creative duos — both on and off stage. In 2022, their relationship reached a new milestone with the birth of their son, Noah Hasani, marking a tender new chapter in their story.
In a 2024 interview, Sean hinted at the tension between love and commitment, admitting he admired marriage but wasn’t ready to rush it. “There’s a lot of work that needs to be done,” he said, suggesting a need for personal growth before any vows could be exchanged.
Though neither artist has made an official statement, sources close to the pair describe the separation as peaceful, emphasising their shared dedication to co-parenting. “They’re in a great place — it’s calm, it’s mature,” one insider confirmed to WBLS.
For fans, this marks the bittersweet end of a cultural era. Big Sean and Jhené Aiko were more than just partners — they were a soundtrack to love itself, inspiring millions through their authenticity, vulnerability, and shared artistry. Now, as they move forward separately, their story remains a reminder that even the strongest bonds sometimes evolve into new beginnings.
