What are the four words that best describe the way Big Sean feels about his girlfriend Ariana Grande?

"She's supercool—the coolest," the 26-year-old rapper said in a recent interview with Billboard magazine.

The hip-hop star said he met the 21-year-old singer at the 2012 Wango Tango concert when she rapped his own lyrics for him. "Ever since, we've been friendly, hung out once in a while, and it just evolved," he added. "I respect her—so I don't think I should talk about it."

Sean also dished on his song "I Don't Give a F--k," which most fans think is about his ex Naya Rivera. "I had that song a year ago, when I was in that relationship, but obviously everyone thinks it's about her," he said. "I write about what I go through—not fake s--t. That's my responsibility."

"I want to write about what really happens, but I'm not a spiteful person," he added. "I've answered so many questions about it, people are going to think what they want no matter what I say."

Speaking of the women in his life, Sean also opened up about the loss of his grandmother who passed away in December of a stroke. "In a selfish way, it was hard to say goodbye," Sean admitted, adding, "but when I stepped back, I was happy she was free of the wheelchair and didn't have to go through that."
