frank ocean fans now realising he's wealthy and has an extremely expensive palette: 😱🤯😳
Like come on, dude literally talked about his $100k art piece he uses as a fruit bowl.
Was baffling to hear people think frank is some type of socialist/leftist in the frank thread. yall didnt read that lil b convo in bdc? He literally says the opposite. Dude has a interlude titled not just money. and said he doesnt even feel a type of way about music. He just knows hes good at it.
jewelry is inherently an expensive item though? like you can’t make cheap luxury jewelry and be expected to taken seriously. He wants to make a brand that will outlast him. This isn’t a tee shirt that he’s selling for $300 because he can.
not talking about jewelry
like i said im too grown to be cryin about a grown man sellin expensive jewelry
it’s just the age old conflict between creator and consumers
jewelry is an expensive art yes buy what does it stand for?
he doesn’t owe anyone s***. but fans who had seen him break boundaries by forcing the industry to accept he was unconditionally bisexual WAS important. making jewelry as high art in such a tense political moment as this one (we’re very much still in a pandemic) feels kinda silly
but the silliest ones is ppl like me writing essays about this

Was literally singing about alcantara on his white ferarri on blonde.
A lot of this backlash at his newest venture could've been avoided if they paid attention and connected the dots.
Not really lol, I literally said that Blonde is an emotional masterpiece in op and I’m pretty sure it’s genuine
The point is that Blonde subject matter has nothing to do with materialism etc but his fans used that emotional connection to fill blank spaces in Frank’s public persona with projections. Not his fault btw so the finesse was kinda unintentional I guess
nothing to do with materialism
first song called nikes

I agree with your first statement & this one btw, he seems to be an artistic individual to the max, like his taste is of some old french dude in the riviera in cameras, cars and furniture which is why he said indirectly that this entire project helped him grieve too, lots of people are overlooking that
breh has a whole song called chanel and loves the met gala him doing boujee s*** doesn’t surprise me
nothing to do with materialism

Bro I just mean that Blonde as an emotionally relatable album has nothing to do with materialism cmon now
Like materialism or lack of it is not the point of album either way, that’s it!

this makes more sense, his fans definitely thought he was a soft gay guy who would always sell $30 tees not knowing the man is a hustler lmaooo I love frank but this isnt surprising, if you know him you’ll know he’ll do anything to ensure he wins
This is not to say that wealth, intimacy + fantasy are mutually exclusive.
A lot of rich musicians can peel that back and be real through their music.
I mean, Frank Ocean composed classic albums about, yeah, basic and relatable s*** like falling in love during summer, but those who imagined that he was "special" or something were not manipulated into that foolishness.
How is he the finesser in this scenario? if some of his fans built him up to be something he's not despite evidence pointing to the contrary that's not his fault

Absolutely true
As I’ve said, Blonde keeps being emotionally relatable and beautiful even if Frank is not some socialist messiah lol

it’s not his fault, frank ocean fans outside of here (ktt) are notoriously emotional and lack any sort of critical thinking
blonde is relatable but you can tell just by the lyrics frank loves all that expensive s***
talking bout his balls sticking in his balenciagas
Y’all niggas just now realizing that a nigga who’s been rich and famous for over a decade is materialistic
