His mother is a teacher. He was mostly raised in Detroit, Michigan. He has a son with his partner, pop and R&B singer and songwriter Jhené Aiko.
He has stated that he is of half Nigerian descent. It is not clear if this is accurate. Big Sean may have been referring to a DNA test.
Big Sean’s maternal grandfather was named Joseph Leonard. Joseph was from North Carolina.
Big Sean’s maternal grandmother was named Mildred V. Leonard. Mildred was from West Virginia, and was one of the first black female captains during WWII, and one of the first black women to serve as a police officer in Detroit.

That first “paternal” should read “maternal. If you could edit the profile, that’d be great.
He stated he’s half Nigerian here: https://thesource.com/2018/09/20/did-you-know-that-detroit-rapper-big-sean-is-nigerian/ / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CwLi05DQLc (1:49)

He looks like Asher Book/Asher Monroe.
The person who submitted this wrote: “Big Sean recently took a DNA Test and the results came back as – 60.2% Black/Sub Saharan, 35.5% Caucasian and 4.3% Native American”.
Where is that from?
@Follers its probably from their vivid imagination. Why do people constantly want to make regular black people so mixed????. You know those figures are a lie. If Big Sean was not a handsome rapper his fake dna test would say 100% black African. People always trying to claim famous black people.
He is African-American, so that wouldn’t be a big deal. Also look at his parents.
@Andrew sorry to inform you but you cannot look at a black person and assume they’re mixed. Thats old school ignorance. Youre stereotyping only black people who have a vast variety of looks without admixture.
