Frank Ocean Comes Out The Closet On “Channel Orange” Album

· July 2, 2012

I’m not sure if this was planned but on the same day CNN’s Anderson Cooper lets the world know the truth about his sexual orientation so does the soulful crooner Frank Ocean. Frank let the world know of his bi-sexuality on the release of his debut album ‘Channel Orange’ (due July 17th).

Excerpt via Max/BBC 1 Xtra‘s preview:

“Frank has also opened up about his sexuality on the album, we think it’s brave and admire him for being so honest and sharing such a personal aspect of his life through his music. On the songs ‘Bad Religion’ ‘Pink Matter and ‘Forrest Gump’ you can hear him sing about being in love and their are quite obvious words used like ‘him’ and not ‘her’.

In the world we live in now we can’t see this being an issue or why it should be?? But we do commend him for not continuing a facade and conforming to what a Hip Hop so called rule book expects, we say live your life and be yourself.”

        My ninja, I’m the polar opposite of gay. Your girl can confirm that.

        **B Straight scrolling through his girls phone while she in the shower**

        **B Straight mumbling to self** “Who the hell is Mr 18 Inch?!” “Sounds like a plumber”

        Say playa, I ain’t a plumber but very often I’ve laid the pipe.

        • @moor, them bath salts got u tripping hard. Bruh I never scroll thru chicks phones,no matter what. That’s too lame! Then u fabricating stories about fantasies of yours & your penis measurements **stewie griffin voice**….”uhh..GAY!!!” LOL. Looks like frank ocean & Anderson cooper has inspired u today lmao!!!

        • Red BP says:

          • MoorFedayeen says:

            Special Ed Red, my n1gga. At least you use to be. No jokes over here. Just reality.

    • Aaron says:

      Can someone please tell me why the hell this always has to be some big announcement? I personally don’t give a damm who anyone else is having sex with, that’s their business and their life.

  5. trap101 says:

    It’s lookin’ like it’s “come out the closet” day around the world…….u ready to lay ur cards on the table @Moor and @Too_Funny? or y’all just gonna stay in the shadows til you get some counselling from @Bi-Kurious_Guy?

  6. 80karatkid says:

    People stay close to God. Only if you knew what was going
    on.

  7. Mike Lowrey says:

    I respect him keeping it 100 but at the end of the day its not like its anyone else’s business. Can’t help but smell a publicity stun. Smh

    • TYBO2020 says:

      NO..IT NEEDS TO BE THE BUSINESS OF THESE FEMALES HE FUKKIN..
      LET THEM DECIDE IF THEY WANT IT FROM A NIKKA WHO TAKES IT..

      • Mike Lowrey says:

        Thats not press release worthy. If a woman can’t tell the difference between a straight man and a gay male she needs to go back to the drawing board

  8. juice says:

    damn… hes dope but i was gonna get his album but fuck it… damn frank!

  9. Greendozen says:

    In Luke 17:26 it states, “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man.”

    The days of Noah there was rampant homosexuality, etc. These are the end times…there’s no mistaken that.

  10. southwestern says:

    I find that hard to believe with the crew he’s in. Odd Future openly hates gays. Frank is ecclectic to say the least, maybe its just some weird meaning in his lyrics.

    • TYBO2020 says:

      THEM NIKKAZ FRONTIN’..THEY ALL FUKKIN EACH OTHER..

    • PapiChulo says:

      how is it hard to believe, every last one of dem n.ggaz look like they aint getting pusssy .all lames, the only reson they got a following is becaus the nicca talk about doing drugs and depression and fcuk the world white people shiiit and thats his fan base white teens like and them eminen ex drug addict cosigened him and he took off

    • Dusty says:

      They dont hate gays but they throw fagget around
      . There is a girl in that group that looks like boy and she is a lesbian

  11. prince_kosmic says:

    I remember when all these sisters on this site was hollering about how fine this dude was…hahahhaha the joke’s on you. we all should have known.

  12. D.A. says:

    Song lyrics??? Really????

    ‘On the songs ‘Bad Religion’ ‘Pink Matter and ‘Forrest Gump’ you can hear him sing about being in love and their are quite obvious words used like ‘him’ and not ‘her’.’

    Like seriously, that don’t mean ****, and even if he was I could care less, his music is dope so I’m gonna continue to support. R. Kelly made a few songs about the woman’s perspective, even going as far as saying “My panties, my hopes, my dreams, my flowers, my dress, my rings….” but we all know he isn’t gay because of well…… ya’ll know.

    I’m just saying, this is a left field artist who sings about all kinds of left-field stuff, doesn’t mean he’s gay. LOL. But then again, you never know.

    • prince_kosmic says:

      it doesn’t mean he’s gay but he admits being bi-sexual? I don’t understand your point brother. furthermore, the comparison to r. kelly and the “context” he(r kelly) was using it in was rather, eh, weak. it was obvious kelly was singing about a woman and her feelings towards men (ex. “when a woman loves?”. fag ocean was obviously singing about men if you actually “listened” to his words. like you said, the songs are about “love” but no specific gender was targeted. if you engage in any homosexual activity, then you are “at least” a homosexual. i support my brother fag ocean, but i can’t buy his music.

      • me says:

        @dunce_kosmic

        you’re an ignorant homophobe who doesn’t deserve the genius of artists like frank ocean anyway. and until frank addresses these rumors, they are just that….. RUMORS.

        • MoorFedayeen says:

          @me PAUSE

          • Be-Ez says:

            Dude makes good music, his personal preference is just that PERSONAL.

            I’m straight and comfortable with mine… stop being homophobic.

          • prince_kosmic says:

            #1 I’m not a homophobe. i love to let what lives,,, live. If you are gay, then you’re happy. Bisexual men/women are fags, right? so how does a straight forward, unambiguous, explanation of the FACTS, make one ignorant? When one comes out of the ‘closet’, then that means they are proud to be a fag, or should i say ‘politically correct’ homosexual. but we celebrate calling each other nigg##s in paris, huh.

  13. bigblackdude says:

    Damn! So Frank likes to bump bats! Oh well! More broads for the rest of us. His life will change and career will change

  14. MisterMidas says:

    Mmmmmaaaaaannnnn, wtf!! And this dude WAS my new favorite r&b artist…i can’t fukk with fags though. Call it homophobic if you want, that’s just how i am…time to delete all this nicca shiit off my computer lol

  15. damnshame says:

    his career gon take a hit..in the black community announcement of being gay murks your career. and my son liked his music…not no more tho

  16. d berry says:

    this nigga probably has aids already if he’s f$%#in’ niggas in the $$s. maybe he should holla at canibus and marry him. this ain’t hiphop y’all this is some devil worship s#$%#t n’mean?
