no major retailers blacklisted him….. homos are so goddamn dramatic. he’s trying to turn this into some gay cause to sell more albums. target isn’t pushing his album because he decided to go the iTunes route not because he likes to juggle nuts. and even if they did it wouldn’t have mattered because this week the album was available exclusively through iTunes.
frank ocean knock it off
Watch the Throne came out on iTunes a week early. Guess what? Target still sold that shit…so what were you saying?
I do agree that that has absolutely nothing to do with 1st week sales since it was an itunes exclusive the 1st week. But the fact remains, the reason Target gave was BS.
booooo @ sohh censorship….. oppression is a motherf$#%!!
Smh don’t get the big head now..I’m not trying to knock him but I truly wonder what those numbers would be if he hadnt said he was gay b4 album drop
Frank Ocean was forced out of the closet as a BISEXUAL by the fans and the media rumors
bullshit I’m calling it
And now everybody is on this guy’s nuts! SMH. Today’s artists are a bunch of douche bags!
NO RADIO HIT & THERE WON’T BE. HE IS ALL HYPE & PROMOTION/MARKETING SMOKE & MIRRORS. #2 WITH NOT EVEN A MODERATE HIT? THIS IS A MARKETING/PUBLICITY SUCCESS STORY!
