Ian Craig Lees is the individual at the center of a recent incident that has brought to light the safety and privacy challenges faced by artists like Jhene Aiko and Big Sean. This persistent and unsettling fan’s actions have compelled the couple to seek court-ordered protection. As Lees appeared at concerts, events, and even their residence, Jhene Aiko’s concerns for her safety grew, ultimately driving her to take legal action.
Jhene Aiko recently took legal action by filing for a temporary restraining order against Ian Craig Lees. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Jhene Aiko claimed that Lees, a 29-year-old man, had managed to sneak onto her property in Pacific Palisades. Despite being a complete stranger, he appeared persistent in his attempts to make contact with her, escalating the situation to the point where she expressed genuine concerns for her safety.
Reports indicate that Ian Craig Lees had been attending Jhene Aiko’s concerts and events, further deepening the distress experienced by the artist. The situation reached a critical point when he allegedly engaged in a physical altercation with the residential security in her neighborhood.
Jhene Aiko’s fears were substantiated as Lees breached the security of their gated community and gained access to her home, which she shares with her partner Big Sean, their son, and her daughter.

In response to the escalating situation, Jhene Aiko sought a temporary restraining order to keep Ian Craig Lees at least 100 yards away from her, Big Sean, and her children. However, the initial request for the restraining order was denied by a judge, who instead scheduled a court hearing for September 14th to address the matter further.
