A lot of shocking things have happened in 2021 but Big Sean apparently growing two inches taller is certainly up there with the best of them. 

The I Don’t F**k With You rapper has always been one to poke fun at his pint-size stature – his ironic stage name evidence of this. 

It’s long been reported that Big Sean, real name Sean Michael-Leonard Anderson, stands at 5’6” tall, but the rapper insisted that was never accurate and that, in fact, he’s grown a couple of inches in height. 

In his Instagram stories, the Blessings hitmaker shared a selfie of him standing next to his friend Ronnie who is around 5’10”. 

Whether it was the angle or camera trickery, Big Sean surprisingly appeared to be taller than Ronnie in the picture. 

Offering an explanation, Big Sean said proudly: ‘How da f*** I grow 2 inches? Chiropractor for a year straight twice a week, that’s how. I’m laughing cause it’s real.

‘Straight spine that’s how.’

He added that people always try to ‘hate on’ his height by claiming he’s 5ft 6in, as he’s always been reported as 5’8”. 

‘My n***a Ronnie 5’10″ solid. So bitch, look at me next to him, bitch. N****s try and hate on me like I’m 5’6″. Nah, for real, I probably even grew like a couple inches,’ he added. 

It seems it wasn’t just the chiropractor which helped to boost Big Sean’s, ahem, size, as he later tweeted: ‘Nah I also changed my whole lifestyle too.’

The 33-year-old previously revealed the source of his ironic nickname and told E! News in 2015: ‘People think it’s for all the wrong reasons. Growing up in Detroit, I had a mentor, his name was Sean. In the neighborhood, he was somebody who kept the kids on a positive note. 

‘He was like, 6’8” and I was like 11, 12 years old so I was like 4’8″. Just to be funny, I said, “You guys gotta call me Big Sean and him Little Sean”.’
