Frank Ocean fans were left scratching their heads this past week when the multi-Grammy Award-winning artist announced the release of his highly anticipated new album. The album, set to drop on February 29, was suddenly removed from all streaming services, leaving fans confused and frustrated.
When pressed for a statement, Ocean released a cheeky statement on his Instagram page: “My new album is so good, I decided to keep it to myself.“
The post drew a mix of reactions from fans. Some expressed appreciation for the artist’s creativity and wit, while others expressed frustration at the tease. “Ugh, he’s trolling us again,” one fan commented.
Ocean’s latest move is just the latest in a long list of viral pranks the artist has pulled over the years, from the infamous disappearing album to the mysterious Prada pop-up shop. He’s also been known to go on long, unexplained hiatuses, leaving fans in suspense for months.
It’s unclear when (or if) the album will be released, but one thing is certain: Frank Ocean will likely leave fans guessing and laughing for years to come.
