EA Sports shared the lineup of the songs on Madden 2019 and the track “Big Bank” made the cut, but there was an important part of Big Sean‘s verse missing.
After finding out that his track was censored, Big Sean took to Twitter to note that they left out Colin Kaepernick‘s name like they would a swear word. He also noted that his team did not approve this.
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.

No word if the NFL has responded privately to Big Sean on the matter.
