Watch Frank Ocean Gets Slapped in 'Novacane' Video

Chris Brown, Frank Ocean Go At It On Twitter

R&B singer Chris Brown has found himself in another Twitter war of words, this time with fellow crooner and Odd Future Wolf Gang member Frank Ocean. The online fracas began when Breezy gave Frank Ocean what seemingly was a compliment earlier today that Ocean took to be an underhanded slight.
Chris Brown’s tweet read, “I f--- with Frank Ocean! Reminds me of a young James Fauntleroy or Kevin Cossum” – James Fauntleroy is a singer-songwriter with writing credits for artists such as Brandy, Timbaland, Jordin Sparks and Rihanna. Kevin Cossum is a songwriter and producer who performed work with Mary J. Blige, Fabolous, Keri Hilson and Brown himself.
Frank Ocean took offense to Chris Brown’s tweet with a retort that read, “[I] f---s wit chris brown, reminds me of a young sisqo or ike turner.” Ocean then followed his comments with, “[I] just dont like underhanded comments. thats all im saying.”
Angered by Ocean’s words, Chris Brown took to Twitter and angrily addressed the OF singer. “[It] was a compliment you bitch ass n---a. Everybody claim to be the devil till they meet him,” tweeted Brown. He followed with, “[F]--k odd future! Make sure y'all smalltime n----s stick yo chess out when u speak to me.”
Breezy later apologized to his followers but not before some tough talk aimed at OFWGKTA. “I was on fairfax (Odd Future stomping grounds) yesterday and your so called posse was super quiet. Get better soldiers!” Chris Brown then added, “To all my fans, I'm sorry these ignorant ass n----s got me down to their level.”
Odd Future captain Tyler The Creator, no stranger to beef with Breezy, earned himself a “Top Tweet” nod with a tweet to Brown that read, “Why Are You Mad Tho? Like Really, You're Bigger Than Us Christopher. You Act Like You Like To Eat Soup, Aren't You A Role Model?”

Is Frank Ocean Working with Jay-Z & Kanye West?

Big news for OFWGKTA fans: it looks as like the group's resident softie, R&B emoter Frank Ocean, might be collaborating with Kanye West and Jay-Z. On his Tumblr, he wrote a note to his five-years-ago self ("hey chris, your name is frank now..it’s a long story"). He also alluded to the fact that he might be working with two of the most important people in music.

yea, you finally finished an album. people like it man. you’re actually gonna write and record hundreds of songs. they won’t all be good and most ppl won’t think you’re talented at first, but you’re going to master your gifts. you’re going to become a lot stronger and wiser..even a little taller. be patient. i mean, you kind of have no choice. and be good to people. i don’t wanna spoil too much for you, but.. you’re on a plane right now to the east coast to work with kanye west & jay-z. it’s all working out kid. you made it.

Whaaaat! Frank Ocean is becoming kind of a big deal—remember that photo in the studio with Beyoncé? It’s true he’s more easily mainstream-able than the rest of the Odd Future gang, and he was the only one with a record deal at the beginning. Dude is 24, actually, which makes his involvement with the teenage hooligans of OFWGKTA seem a bit odd in the first place. At the beginning I thought Tyler would be the one breakout star of the group, but maybe Frank is about to prove me wrong.
