It’s a scenario that nightmares are made of – being relentlessly pursued and intruded upon by an obsessive fan. For Jhene Aiko and Big Sean, the nightmare has become all too real.
The celebrity duo has taken their battle to the courts, seeking a protective order against a stalker who has been disrupting their lives and violating their privacy.
Jhene Aiko took swift action by heading to court and filing for a temporary restraining order against a 29-year-old man named Ian Craig Lees. According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Jhene alleges that Lees has been consistently infringing upon her personal space, creating a wave of fear that has reached her very core.
In the documents, Jhene reveals the disturbing pattern of events that have unfolded. The alleged stalker has not only been attending her concerts and events but has also escalated the situation to a point where he physically confronted the residential security team in her neighborhood. This unsettling behavior culminated in an alarming incident earlier this month when he reportedly managed to gain unauthorized access to their Pacific Palisades home – a place that should be a haven of safety.
The intrusion into their private lives has spurred the couple into action. Jhene’s plea to the court aims to secure a temporary restraining order that would prohibit the stalker from coming within 100 yards of not only her but also Big Sean and their children. The couple shares an infant son and Jhene’s 14-year-old daughter.

The gravity of the situation prompted a swift court response, though the initial request for the restraining order was denied. Nevertheless, a court hearing has been scheduled for September 14th to address the matter further. If granted, the restraining order could provide a much-needed layer of protection against the unwanted advances of the alleged stalker.
In a world where celebrities’ lives are often lived under the scrutiny of the public eye, Jhene Aiko and Big Sean’s case brings to light the dark underbelly of fame – the unsettling reality of intrusion, fear, and vulnerability.
