no ones saying hes mcdonald scott or anything like that. man just needs to communicate directly to his fans, or hire a better team to manage merch orders. im not hot about the Homer line, but i understand OP and after the endless s*** i literally never bought anything from him again. its literally just communication (inb4 “he doesnt owe his fans s***”) well he does if he takes their money!
and what was the biggest complaint of Yeezy when it first launched?
“It’s too expensive!”
“I can’t afford it”
“What about me?!”
The first air yeezys were affordable wtf are you talking about
Yeah but This man literally funded his venture off of money he received from fans who purchased expensive merchandise that he still hasn’t shipped It’s so disgusting talking about how you read luxury magazines seeing things you couldn’t afford and talking down on that condition, only to open a firm that literally pursues the same business point of artificial pricing. You couldn’t even address the word you’ve caused your fan base but instead talk about how you only don’t own a yacht because you get seasick.
There’s absolutely no regard for the people who came and gave you this platform of acclaim
That “super-seasick” line was such a cheeky textbook frank pr move lmfao. That “yeah i’ll balance my intelligent vernacular with slang and things an 8 year old says” attitude is no different than doing a luxury line and being able to absolve and cleanse himself of dirty money/conflict in perceived brand values etc. because his mystique has always afforded him the fluidity that fans are now taking a stand against.
“I’m just selling a 2 million dollar necklace because its super cool!” Type s***
selling lower price s*** doesnt mean you care more about the lower class lol, it's about profit margin. maybe he's making way more charging rich mfs for jewelry or whatever tf than he would paying for the production of thousands of vinyl records and t shirts
its not music either way so who cares
Or maybe dude just likes high end fashion and wants to make high end fashion pieces yall didn’t have to make a thesis on this.
Yeah because accountability suddenly doesn’t matter in this bullshit business once you realize you can make a bag off of people who will like you regardless
What a f***ing scam
Bro I thought you already knew that
The first air yeezys were affordable wtf are you talking about
they go for $1200 on the market now

Yeah bro that’s yeezus not a $271k bracelet
-stop worshipping celebrities
-glorifies frank ocean
As a creative, I find this endeavour inspiring (artistically and visually) I am not buying anything because I can’t drop $400,000 on a necklace but I’m not mad at him and feel like I need to be included in everything does

Why u cock sucking so hard if u cant afford it either
But the situations are separate
I get that I'm not going to buy merch from here on out. But that doesn't mean people can't be mad at the fact that fans that bought the merch to support their favorite artist weren't given their proper refunds so that said artist could develop a business that isn't accessible to them. I think it's valid where OP is coming from
Yeah bro that’s yeezus not a $271k bracelet
I’ve literally shut down all your points & this is the first thing you reply me with
just say your mad about that then
don’t s*** his other business ventures
If a nigga scam you and is opening up another business I be mad too
op has no proof Frank used people’s money to fund this entire venture, he talking out of his ass. “Artificial pricing” sounds like he’s mad there’s no $30 shirts for him, everything on the market is artificial pricing but yeah come at frank.
Frank always been a hustler, even before we knew him as frank, none of us helped him finess def jam or get a 20 mill deal with Apple, this dude hasn’t worked since 2009, he’s on a different level. Stop worshiping celebrities & maybe you wouldn’t be disappointed when they open up a venture not catered towards you.
it's money he pocketed. did he use someone else's money to start the business?
its the same s*** virgil abloh does
Not to mention how pathetic his little quote in the FT article was
yep yep yep yep yep
"yeah i let rappers smoke weed in the LV offices" but all the unsold merch still gets burned to keep the value of the company artificially inflated
Frank hates his fans whats new
also, as a black artist, you are not allowed to venture into anything but screen printed gildan tee shirts or else you get kids on forums talking down on you like this.
Being black don’t mean niggas can’t call you out lol
Why u cock sucking so hard if u cant afford it either
Read my post again kid I promise its english and not hard to comprehend, let me know if you need any help
