Big Sean took to social media Saturday morning (Feb. 18) to clear the air about being attacked by a fan during his CD signing in Queens, N.Y., on Friday night.
The rapper, who was in Queens to promote his new No. 1 album, I Decided., tweeted that a fan who tried to attack him had just been released from a mental hospital.
“Some guy waited in line in the cold since 10am, bought my CD, when I signed his CD n shook his hand he TRIED to hit me off guard,” Sean wrote. “He claimed he had wrote songs for Michael Jackson, Jay Z n was wit Birdman etc. I’m hoping he’s getting the proper treatment he needs.”
The assailant was quickly taken down by Big Sean’s bodyguards and arrested by police offers, TMZ reports.

Look I never comment on this type of shit but they can’t do me dirty and say a fan smacked me or no shit like that.
