Frank Ocean’s Father Sues Def Jam Founder For $142 Million

Frank Ocean‘s father is to sue the founder of Def Jam records Russell Simmons for “defaming” him in an article published on his website ‘Global Grind.

How much he thinks said defamation is worth?

$142 million.

TMZ reports:

Frank Ocean‘s father just slapped hip hop mogul Russell Simmons with a $142 million lawsuit for calling him a deadbeat dad. 

Calvin Cooksey — who hasn’t been part of Ocean’s life since his son was 5 — says he’s been unfairly portrayed as a horrible father on Simmons’ website, Global Grind. 

In his lawsuit, Cooksey goes on the attack — saying he wasn’t allowed to be a father to Frank because his “Money Grubbing mother” moved, and hid the boy from him.   

Cooksey says Simmons published lies about him without checking facts — and worst of all … never bothered to use his actual name in the posts about Ocean’s father.  Translation: at least defame me by using my proper name!

Cooksey is suing for loss of future income — he describes himself as a singer, writer and inventor — and thinks the $142 million should just about cover it.

Neither Frank or Simmons have responded.

    LOL.. @TROLLsie’s dad is a deadbeat dad. Look how his son turned out; a transgender with no life outside the internet, a keyboard warrior with no friends.

    Suing Def Jam won’t undo the fact that his son is a gay homosexual.

    • toohotfortv September 15, 2014

      A gay homosexual? Is that anything like you, redundant.

    Classic tale of what happens when a boy doesn’t have a father. That’s why Frank turned out fruity. He’s seeking attention from other men what he didn’t get from his father and is willing to go as far as bending over to get it. Mama’s boys have a habit of turning out q****.

      I never comment on here but shut the f*ck up you ignorant troll. I hope you choke on your bile and dream of your death, you worthless pile of data

    I dont blame him, Sue the hell out of they asses.
    People cant get away with publishing lies and rumors when they dont know the entire story, As if Russell was there all that boys life. He needs to Have several seats and just make sure his children are being taken care of, instead of pointing the finger and thinking he is better than anybody.

    Don’t you have to be somewhat famous in order to be “defamed” lol? Second, you’re crying about defamation and you go right ahead and “defame” the mother with a petty remark. Third, you’re complaining that the article didn’t even use your proper name so how bad could the defamation be?
