It was meant to be a colossal comeback, but Frank Ocean‘s polarizing performance at Coachella 2023 appears to be more sink than swim.
Full story below…
In a unique move, the ‘Thinkin Bout You’ belter was announced as a headliner for this year’s installment of the music extravaganza more than a year before taking to the stage.
Hotly anticipated, the coveted slot serves as Ocean’s first live show since 2016.
However, it appears all was not well – both before the performance and during.
Dishing on the drama in front of the camera and behind, The Festival Owl shared:
The source continued:
When it really comes down to it re: #FrankOcean and #Coachella…these are the people I feel the worst for.
Like they said — blood, sweat and tears only to have the rug ripped out from underneath them.
These are the people who bring experiences to life, they deserve better. pic.twitter.com/LDnocGwmO6

Many had hoped for new music from the beloved singer and expected the platform would serve as the launch pad for its arrival. However, Ocean made clear that his involvement with Coachella had a much more personal impetus, sharing that it was an experience he and his late brother often shared together.
Looser. Trash. Wasting folks time and $$
He will be forced back into hiding now
i don’t get why he still has fans. if you don’t want to perform, don’t sign up to be a headliner at coachella.
Did you noticed that they put Bjork under his name with smaller letter size. What the hell they were thinking?! That’s so disrespectful!
Check her performance vs his
And i like them both but that’s just not right.
This gay agenda s h I t is outta control.
That’s good for Coachella for booking him
And the dumb ass people who bought tickets he’s a weirdo who hasn’t been relevant for years they shouldn’t have booked this f a g
Never understood the hype of this fella butttt to each their own
Frank Ocean has INFLUENCED most of these new Indie R&B artists. He’s probably the reason ppl listen to Indie/Alternate R&B.
How dumb lmao. A whole generation of idiots
Who cares about Frank Ocean in 2023?
Sound like he had a breakdown between 2016 and now OR his plan was to sabotage the event.
The Industry has a NEW it gay BM and kicked Frank to the curb. That’s the Industry for you.
Frank kicked the industry to the curb when he put out ‘blonde’ independently right after ‘endless.’
Franks mysterious misfit image is tired. Either put up or shut up.😴
