Big Sean‘s relationship with his mom was, perhaps, one of his biggest blessings on blessings on blessings.
When the “I Know” rapper told his mother Myra Anderson that he wanted to pursue a music career at just 11 years old, she was happy to nurture his passion. Despite their family’s financial struggles, she supported his dreams at any cost—even at the expense of her acting aspirations.
“She knew what it was like to have a dream and chase it,” Big Sean—whose real name is Sean Michael Anderson—told E! News in an exclusive interview. “She knew what it was like to pursue something and see it come to fruition, even if it was just for a little bit.”
At the beginning of her career, Myra—mom to Sean, 37, and Brett, 41, with ex-husband James Anderson—found success in New York City doing commercials in her 20s.
“She made her dream come true to a certain extent,” Sean said. “She was making a lot of money from doing commercials. She was living in Manhattan and had a nice apartment with my dad.”
