As reported, singers Chris Brown and Frank Ocean were involved an altercation which culminated in blows early this morning. With bad blood already brewing due to a Twitter beef between Brown and Ocean’s “crew” Odd Future last year, TMZ confirm that today’s spat took place in a Los Angeles recording studio where the pair were recording separately.
And while the legitimacy of the “drama” was initially called into question by some, Ocean himself has addressed the matter on Twitter.
What did he say? His words await after the jump…
********
In keeping it all the way 100, neither Chris nor Frank are in much of a position to afford this kind of press regardless of who “started it”.
Indeed, for Brown, this serves as more material for certain media outlets to mobilize their anti-Breezy M.O – which at this point is becoming unfair. In Ocean’s case, he may have less to lose (and is generally being painted as the innocent party), yet his movement has largely been built on the air of mystique surrounding his character, as well as his shunning of the media. As such, being a feature of such headlines is not a good look.
Most importantly, neither are pulling in sales in the ball-park of their chart rivals. Hence, both clearly have much to do – namely focus on their craft, rather than cementing stereotypes.
