Frank Ocean Has Dropped Out Of Coachella’s Second Weekend And Blink-182 Will Replace Him As Headliner
Frank Ocean was originally supposed to headline Coachella in 2020. Then COVID came along and proved to be a bigger health hazard to music festivals than Gerard Butler fucking a random in a Porta Potty. Frank headlined this year’s Coachella instead, and it was his first live performance in six years. So his fans (The Oceanographers?) were ready, but many of them ended up with a serious case of musical blue balls. Some who were in the audience during Frank Ocean’s first Coachella set last weekend say that they probably would’ve gotten a more exciting performance from a third-tier tribute act called Frank Puddle in a show sponsored by Ambien. So it’s no surprise that Frank isn’t headlining Coachella’s upcoming second weekend, and he blamed his bunk ankle on what took him out.
Frank Ocean Wants To Be Removed From Travis Scott’s Album
TMZ is reporting that there is a new rap feud in town. While it may not rise to the aggro levels we’re currently used to with Cardi B and Nicki Minaj brawling out here in the streets, it seems that Frank Ocean is getting mildly into it with Travis Scott. And no, it’s not because Frank Ocean hates the Kardashians as much as the rest of decent humanity, or because Travis took his rightfully-owned parking space. In fact his beef with Travis is purely musical.
Frank Ocean Covered “Moon River” And A Bunch Of People Didn’t Know It Was A Cover
Frank Ocean just dropped a hot new track and and the kids are all like “have you heard that new Frank Ocean groove?! It’s outta sight!” (this is how the kids talk, right?). It’s a cover of Moon River but that’s news to a whole bunch of youths who thought it was an original song.
Brad Pitt Makes A Surprise Appearance During Frank Ocean Set
Frank Ocean performed at FYF Fest in Los Angeles over the weekend and brought a surprise guest on stage for his performance of Close to You/Never Can Say Goodbye. The surprised and mostly delighted crowd were buzzing when everybody’s favorite stoner dad, Brad Pitt joined Frank onstage via split screen looking like a Sad Keanu who finally got Adele to answer his calls.
Frank Ocean Wasn’t Thrilled That Taylor Swift Won The Grammy For Album Of The Year
Critics’ darling Frank Ocean withdrew his hugely successful (both critically and commerically) Blonde album from Grammy consideration this year and won’t be performing.
In an interview with Rolling Stone (via Pitchfork), Grammy producers Ken Ehrlich and David Wild were asked why this was so. They responded by opining that Frank’s performance of his song “Forrest Gump” at the 2013 Grammys sucked and that he didn’t want to give us the sequel. Frank took to Tumblr to refute this, and explain exactly why he wasn’t Grammy-bound this year. And it’s all Taylor Swift’s fault (everything is)!
Kanye West Will Not Grace The Grammys With His Presence Unless They Bend The Rules For Frank Ocean
Frank Ocean’s new album Blonde probably would have gotten at least one Grammy nomination, but now he’s guaranteed a grand total of zero nominations, because his team missed the deadline to submit it. Billboard says that Frank Ocean’s people didn’t screw up. They knew about the Grammy nominations deadline and said “fuck it” to submitting Blonde and his visual album Endless. Either Frank Ocean thinks the Grammys hold about as much importance as the shit churning in a bull’s bowels, or he doesn’t want to bruise his palms from clapping every time Adele beats him since she’s probably going to win everything. It seems like Frank Ocean doesn’t give one damn about getting a Grammy nomination, but Kanye West really cares about Frank Ocean getting a Grammy nomination.
