Singer Frank Ocean’s new album, Channel Orange, weaves a tapestry of triumph over unrequited love. The public’s acceptance of Channel Orange, with its flood of emotions and quiet angst, helped the album debut at #2 on the Billboard charts.
Announcing his homosexuality prior to the release of ‘Orange’ was a well-calculated marketing strategy. Now Ocean, 24, is ready to make his next big move — to Toronto — where his rumored lover, Drake, 24, was born and still resides.
I mean, who moves to Toronto?
From the New York Times:
For five and a half years he’s lived in this city, since he drove west from New Orleans with $1,200 in his pocket, spending $400 on the way for gas. In that time he’s become an in-demand songwriter and now a rising star in his own right. With that success has come a roller coaster of love and letdown, and that is why, he said, it’s now time to go. Maybe to New York, or more likely to Toronto, which is more car friendly — outside the house were parked two BMWs, one red and newish and one silver and oldish — and which Mr. Ocean has fallen for based on Google searches, even though he’s never been there.
Thanks to loyal reader Kalisha for the tip!

Happy Birthday Fefe!
Make it a great day!
Drakes face
Back downstairs I go
I swear he look like he ain’t all there.
San San you crack me up!
Satellite need a receiver, can’t seem to turn the signal fully off
Transmitting the waves
You’re catching that breeze ’til you’re dead in the grave
But you’re keepin’ it surreal, whatever you like
Whatever feels good, whatever takes you mountain high
Keepin’ it surreal, not sugar-free, my tv ain’t HD, that’s too real

Who moves to Toronto? All those racist idiots that don’t want Obamacare. Of course.
@Nikke
Thank you beautiful! :hugs:

Why this headline made me laugh, I have no idea!!!

Me too!! Like deep in the belly chuckle
we really need a side-eye emoticon.
In the words of Regina George, “Stop trying to make fetch happen, it’s not going to happen.”
Just like “fetch”, Drake and Frank Ocean being anything ain’t going to happen
<_< << BOOGIE THIS IS THE SIDE EYE
I dont even know who frank ocean is so
I got nothing, or either i dont care
I’ll take “I dont care for 200 hundid sandy”
Happy Birthday @Fe….if you’re in here.

=================
but ironically doesn’t Canada have free medical for everybody
!Laker, thas what i use on text
@YSoSrs Canada has free healthcare
Frank Ocean is Gay for Pay… His “coming out” was a marketing ploy
@pryn
thank you sweetie! :hugs:
Its sad that when a Man opens up & shows his emotional vulnerable side he is automatically slandered and assumed Gay. Thats why we have all these thugs and ass*holes with these Mr.Tough-Guy facades. let the man live! & if he is gay who cares thats his Damn business. but I highly doubt he is & he just bought a place in Caly. Reaching??? Good Morning!! :-*
@O Honey but fraggle rock tho??
Slow news day
But thanks for the update
Who ummmm cares!
@NAIJA & SASSY
I know that Canada has free health care. But apparently the right wing nuts don’t. Many of them “threatened” to move north across the border because of Obamacare.
I hope the president puts even more focus on American education in his next term cause obviously we need all the help we can get.
*sneaks in real quick*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*… and yes I know what that is* :rollseyes:
Drake in that pic looks like he saying “How you doin'”
Though “L&HHATL” star Joseline Hernandez is now sporting a ring (pictured above) and playing coy about her alleged engagement, co-star (and Stevie’s baby moms) Mimi Faust recently revealed that the “couple” isn’t getting married! Deets inside…..
Mimi Faust called into TT Torrez’s Power 105.1 radio show recently where she dished on her baby daddy and his side piece. Is Joseline even a SIDE piece anymore? This triangle is beyond confusing and disturbing.
Mimi revealed that she learns more and more about baby daddy Stevie J on Monday nights at the same time the fans do. She added that she met Joseline right before taping and had no knowledge about the extent of her relationship with Stevie J. In fact, she said that still to this day, “He tells me that’s just his artist. We getting money.” Figures.
So if Joseline’s just his artist, how did she end up pregnant with Stevie’s baby? Mimi said Stevie explained, “It happened. I’m sorry.”
And when asked if Stevie J. and Joseline were getting married, a very animated Mimi said, “Oh God come on….stop it!”
Weirdly, when asked if she would ever go back to Stevie J., she didn’t give an answer. Our sympathy can only go so far….

Ain’t looked at Drake the same since that club incident. Still don’t think he’s gay; he is a bitch though.
YSO
next they’ll be threatening to move to Switzerland cause people don’t have to pay taxes…the most degreed and least educated reside in Congress…shameful
Sandra, stop it. I couldn’t be a celeb. Ocean aint a real gay. He did for publicity, now he’s tryna come up on his next stunt. He and Drake would look good together, but I’m not buying the ‘drake’s gay’ stuff these blogs put out.

She wouldn’t be the one to answer whether or not Steebie and Jose are engaged, heyul she doesn’t know the extent of their relationship.
Mimi, please :stop: Go have a seat sweetie.
@JMO
Thank you honey bun!!!!

@Trend
#YOU GO GIRL 
I didn’t ever feel sympathy for her – she said she’s known him for 14 years Im sure she knew about his other 4 different baby mothers and she wanted to become #5
So I had to log in just for this…
“I mean, who moves to Toronto?”
what’s wrong with Toronto? I’m from Toronto born and raised and there’s nothing wrong with my city that isnt wrong with ANY city in North America.
and FYI Canada does not have free healthcare
@TREND
Mimi seems actively, purposely stupid. I don’t feel sorry for people like that.
I really don’t think this Frank Ocean is playing at gay. That is not a game most can win. Especially if you are a man.
on drake, i think folks confuse corny for gay.

I went to Best Buy to cop his CD yesterday and the sales guy told me it been done sold out and Def Jam wasn’t currently shipping anymore. He said Def Jam was using so janky formula to ship the CDs. I HATE when labels undermine their own artists. I don’t download and I ain’t starting for Frank Ocean or anyone else dammit. GET IT TOGETHER DEF JAM. No wonder Target didn’t want to mess with you.
lol
Have fun Fe
bwahahaha…u definitely know what pictures to put up..u so messy Sandra..lmao

WHY DO PEOPLE ANNOUNCE THEIR GUY AND THEN TAKE ISSUE WITH THE FACT THAT THE SAME PEOPLE THEY ANNOUNCED IT TO DON’T NECESSARILY AGREE OR ACCEPT THEIR LIFESTYLE?
DUH-WHEN YOU LOOK FOR VALIDATION OR CONFIRMATION FROM OTHERS, YOU SET YOURSELF UP TO BEGIN WITH
KEEP YOUR PERSONAL BUSINESS PRIVATE, WHO AND WHAT YOU DO SHOULDN’T BE ANYBODY BUSINESS, BUT ONCE YOU MAKE IT PUBLIC IT’S OPEN FOR DISCUSSION
DON’T ACT SUPRISE OR CALL FOUL WHEN FOLKS DON’T RESPOND IN THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE, SUCH IS LIFE-IT’S NOT ALL KUMBAYA AND RAINBOWS LIKE TV OR THE WIZARD OF OZ
FOLKS ARE JUDGMENTAL AND WILL SHUN YOU-SO YOU ARE BETTER OFF KEEPING IT TO YOURSELF
OOPS GAY
I’m so over folks announcing what they do in the privacy of their own homes, including “announcing” that they’re gay…..does anyone announce when they’re “straight” on heterosexual, I’m just saying? To add I could care less if this Frank Ocean guy was a tight end of a wide receiver, he is so unattractive!!!!

*********
Medical care is free in Toronto, and the rest of Canada (for residents and citizens) for the record. It’s free (tax payer funded) in just every G7 country except the US, actually.
@Sandra Rose, I invite you to move up here. After about two days, you’ll probably be less “salty”.
Auntie Sandra don’t knock it, til you’ve tried it….T.O. is one of the best cities and Canada one of the best countries to reside in. No foreclosures happening over here. No bailouts taking place…Healthcare is free for all permanent residence and citizens by the way. BTW, you would know what Drake is really up to if you resided here and interact with him and his crew. But, I’m not one to talk!!
Toronto is a great City.
The article Sandra references in this Post says nothing about Frank actually moving to Toronto – it just suggests it.
For the person who says Health Care is NOT free in Canada. Ummm do you live here? I didn’t think so.
I love my country
