OK, there's two parts to this: What is the issue here and what do you think should happen?

Earlier this summer Frank Ocean came out to having a male lover. Four years ago Frank had a relationship with another male. After his admittance, many different media correspondents started to question his masculinity. As a Rap star it is a lot harder to show a sensitive side when most of your music is based on hookers and gangs. His followers will either decrease because of his irregular action, or some might accept him with open arms. This really tares his fans apart, and we will see who accepts him for who he is or the ones who will drop him just because of some relationship that happened years ago.
Ocean’s choice to admit his homosexual experience was very brave and noble, especially because of the genre of music he produces. I think that if you enjoy his music then it really doesn’t matter if he chooses a ‘he’ or a ‘she’ as the pronoun in the songs. I think that Frank will be venerated in the liberal arts community; so many other artists like Elton John, Freddy Mercury, and Robert Mapplethorpe have come out of the closet and been extremely successful. If his music stays popular I think that his true fans will stay loyal even with this minor change in his personality.

In the article, the author talks about the notorious rapper, Frank Ocean and how he recently came out of the closet. The author discusses how some fans who aren't die hard for Ocean might have some trouble digesting this news. If you were to look closely at some of his songs you would hear him talking about a boy and not a girl. The author states that people should focus more on Ocean's talent and not his private life.
I believe people should just support Ocean and not make a big deal out who he dates. It's no one's business who he decides to love. People should judge his music and not make a commotion out of some of the songs. Hip- Hop is not use to a change which. Hopefully this will encourage other people break into the business and not worry about being discriminated against for being gay.

Frank Ocean is a man who makes his living off his music talent. However, a couple of months ago he revealed that he was gay and has a male partner. The controversy comes into play when the media worries people will no longer listen to his music because of his homosexuality his natural views will not be the same that the other rappers are all about. Personally i think if you liked his music before his announcement than it should not change your mind. I also think that it is amazing that he had what it takes to announce publicly his sexuality which has been rejected by people in the past.

This article discusses the story of the rapper Frank Ocean who has recently come out of the closet.He has admitted to having a sexual relationship with another male in years past. This is jeopardizing his career as a rapper seeing as most of the stuff he raps about is making himself seem manly and by coming out of the closet it made him seem inmacilent and is causing some of his fans to turn their backs to him.
Personally I believe that everyone is entitled to their own sexual orientation and if Frank Ocean prefers homosexuality then he should have the right to do so. Furthermore, I believe that his admittance is a brave act, and hopefully it might inspire other men or women who are in the closet and are afraid to come out due to occupational effects of the admittance.

In the article the author talks about rapper, Frank Ocean coming out of the closet. He posted on tumblr that his first love was with a man. Personally I think if you are gay you should just come out and say it. Gay or straight it doesn't matter I don't understand why he didn't say anything earlier.
