EA Sports is not having a very good day.
Yesterday (Aug 2), we learned that YG’s single “Big Bank” featuring Big Sean, Nicki Minaj, and 2 Chainz is featured in Madden 19. When players got a first chance to try out the game it was learned that the company decided to blur out former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s name.
YG was the first to react to the news. Now Big Sean is giving his two cents.
It’s disappointing and appalling @NFL & @EA took @Kaepernick7’s name out of my verse on Big Bank for Madden 19, like it was a curse word. When he’s not a curse, he’s a gift! Nobody from my team approved any of this.

EA Sports apologized for the action, and announced that they will release an update that will include his name on in the track.
