Frank Ocean's Father Wants to Sue Him For $1 Million

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Frank Ocean exposed a possible lawsuit from his father to his Twitter followers.

The ‘Channel Orange’ singer tweeted: “Father wanna sue me for a million. Like I owe him back child support. Weak individual bought me a swiss knife at 6yrs old then dipped on me.”

Ocean’s father had left the family home when the singer was just six-years-old. This left Ocean to be raised by his mother, Katonya Breaux Riley in New Orleans.

The emotive tweet has since been deleted, but a second tweet about his father still remains. The second reads: “I got his DNA though, maybe I inherited some of his karma too.”

These tweets will come as no surprise to Ocean followers as his messages on the social network always seem to ask more questions than they answer.

Ocean had also tweeted about his father previously this year. He wrote: “Just found out my absent father’s been cyberstalking me, hi dad”.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
