Frank Ocean’s rise to fame has clearly caught the eyes of his estranged father.
The singer-songwriter tweeted on Tuesday the following:
While the reasoning behind the potential lawsuit hasn’t been made public, one could guess it may have something to do with Ocean’s reference to his father – or lack thereof – in a song called “There Will Be Tears” on his nostalgia, Ultra. album. In the track, Frank sings, “My grandaddy was a player/Pretty boy in a pair of gators/See I met him later on/Think it was 1991/The only dad I’d ever know/But pretty soon he’d be gone too/Hide my face hide my face”.
Frank later deleted the above tweet. He did, however, leave the following tweet up.
i got his DNA though, maybe I inherited some of his karma too.
