Frank Ocean On Prince: “He Made Me Feel More Comfortable With How I Identify Sexually”

[Piff Perkins]

It's shady because what exactly does Prince's music have to do with homosexuality? nothing

It was the way Prince dressed that really seemed to catch this dude's attention, he doesn't need to be sayin shyt like this about a dead man who didn't care for the homosexual lifestyle twisting it in a way that seems like Prince would approve. He never even went to a Prince show yet Prince "inspired" him? ok

I've been to a Prince show and I'm not even a big fan like that

Prince has a lot of music that bends traditional gender norms

go listen to If I Was Your Girlfriend again

same with Bowie. Not hard to see why a gay person would gravitate towards artists like that.

Prince didn't make you no fakkit, your just a fakkit, c00n. fukk outta here with that agenda shyt

 

[CASHAPP]

It really is crazy that Prince was a bible thumper

Yall keep forgetting he didn't turn that way until after 2001 when he became a Jehovas Witness. He was a religious prior but didn't become heavy the way we know of until the past 15 years

Dude what's wrong with you? You seriously have fukking issues. Frank didn't say Prince made him gay, did you even read the title?

 

[volk]

Its two sentences out of a lengthy tribute that he posted about what Prince meant to him, not that serious.

He specifically acknowledges that yes, Prince was straight, he just admired his freedom to dress and act how he wanted which inspired him to be himself. Not seeing how he's trying to make Prince out to be some kind of gay icon.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Prince was NOT a fakkit.


nikkaz like Young Thug THINK they're channeling their inner Prince by callin' nikkaz "bae", but Prince wasn't on that sweet shyt. It was all about the females, even though, he'd rock said females clothes, simply because she wasn't rockin' it right

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

lol nikkas really bending over backwards trying to act like Prince wasn't doing some extremely suspect shyt back in the day

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

That just looks ridiculous.

 

[SunZoo]

i think dude was being shady af. them gay gudes want to make prince a gay icon when he didn't approve of that shyt.

But he just said he was a STRAIGHT MAN....

 

[SunZoo]

Yeah Prince was a devout JW....so this shyt is hilarious to me

A devout JW that wore butt-out pants and charms blowpop body suits...



The man said Prince was a STRAIGHT MAN who did not conform to the standards of masculinity...EVER. Even after androgyny stopped being the jam he was still looking like a doe eyed bytch

THAT kind of bravery to be yourself is what Frank is talking about, whether that means you're gay or wanna be a rapper wearing toe rings and shop in the women's section...ain't shyt disrespectful or "twisting" anything about Prince's religious views in acknowledging his influence on breaking gender stereotypes.

 

[SunZoo]

When asked about his perspective on social issues gay marriage, abortion Prince tapped his Bible and said, “God came to earth and saw people sticking it wherever and doing it with whatever, and he just cleared it all out. He was, like, ‘Enough.’ ”

His camp said he was misquoted though, coulda just been a PR move but still, JW's a fukking insane. That kind of comment would be light work

 

[Mike the Executioner]

Did you guys read it or just focus on the part where he referenced his sexuality, then wildly misinterpret it to fit your narrative? He said nothing wrong here.

Dudes in here acting like Frank was making out with Prince posters in his room. It's not that serious.

 

[NvrCMyNut]

dudes are so threatened by gay men
