Odd Future’s Frank Ocean has something to celebrate these days after reportedly having his name change request approved this week in Los Angeles.
According to reports, a judge made a decision on the matter Thursday (April 23).
Frank’s request for a legal name change got a judge’s stamp of approval today in L.A. As we previously reported … Ocean filed legal docs a year ago to make the switch, but a judge put the brakes on the process until Frank cleared up some drivers license issues. Breaux, born in Long Beach, CA, was 27. (TMZ)
Ocean broke big news to fans about his music comeback earlier this month.
Ocean’s camp almost immediately confirmed the big album plans.
This had the Internet quickly asking: What could this mean? A new magazine by Ocean? A new record by Ocean? Both? A rep for Ocean confirmed to Billboard it is indeed both: A new album and his own publication are due in July. The magazine is titled is Boys Don’t Cry while the album title has yet to be revealed.

Ocean released an unexpected tribute song to late R&B singer Aaliyah back in January.
In honor of what would have been Aaliyah’s 36th birthday, Frank Ocean pays homage to the late singer with a cover of The Isley Brothers’ 1976 classic “At Your Best (You Are Love),” which Aaliyah covered for her 1994 debut Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number. The Grammy-winning crooner took to his Tumblr page to share the tender tribute, which features him singing in a falsetto. (Rap-Up)
