Has Tricky Stewart been sampling some of Frank’s “Pink Matter”??? Rumors Surface Of An Alleged Affair Between Frank Ocean And Trick Stewart The rumor mill is spinning at full-speed today with word coming down that fresh-out-the-closet Odd Future crooner Frank Ocean had a hand in ruining the marriage of The-Dream’s producer/business partner Tricky Stewart when the two men began a love affair. Now mind you this is only a rumor at this point, but in a lot of cases where there’s smoke… According to a tipster: “I know this may never see the light of day but Frank Ocean is a sneaky liar who is the reason why Trickey Stewart and his wife are having a hard time. If you follow other media you would know that this time last year Trickey was telling the world about Frank. Now he is quiet in regards to him. Frank befriended his wife knowing he was getting it on with her husband. Everyone thinks that he was with Kanye or someone like that when it was actually Trickey. I think he said that he was the “same” age as his first lover to toss all blame off Trickey. Email me if you want more ! If you don’t believe me call Terrius Nash aka The Dream and ask him about Trickey’s ways.” Tricky’s wife Makita is a beautiful woman. Light-skinned, bangin’ body, her own real hair…just the type of woman perfect to act as the beard of a man living deep inside a Versace walk-in closet full of male skeletons. Trick has always been said to be a lil’ on the suspect side by numerous industry vets that he’s come in contact with over the years, but we NEVER saw this one coming! We can’t say for sure how this one will turn out, but maybe Frank’s bravery will lead to a cast of undercover industry insiders to come…clean, about their sexual preference. Images via Zimbio Source
The worm didn’t fall too far from the tree Ex-NBA baller Dennis Rodman has finally met his estranged father after 42 years of separation, following an exhibition game in the Philippines. Philander Rodman Jr., (we couldn’t even make that name up) who acknowledged fathering 29 children by 16 mothers, says he was happy and surprised that his son agreed to meet… He tried to meet his son during another game in Manila in 2006. “It was great,” he said Thursday of the first time he held his son’s hands since they last met in December 1969. “I’ve been trying to meet him for years. And then last night, boom, I met him. I was really, really happy and very surprised,” he told The Associated Press. Philander, who has been living in the Philippines for nearly 50 years, said he wanted to explain to his son that he didn’t abandon his family in the United States, but they only had time for greetings and handshakes. He said he spent only about three minutes with his son, who was also busy signing autographs. “I really, really felt good,” he said. “It’s the beginning of something new.” He gave his number to his son who promised to call. He said his son did not even want to talk about him six years ago, but he was encouraged to try again to meet him after Tuesday’s press conference where the former Pistons and Bulls star invited him to watch Wednesday’s game. “I don’t hate the guy that brought me into this world,” Dennis Rodman told reporters. “The fact is, if I saw him, I’ll just tell him, ‘You know, you’re a friend of mine.’” During a break, with seconds left to the end of the game, Dennis Rodman grabbed a microphone acknowledged his father’s presence and pointed to him in the arena. The crowd applauded as the elder Rodman stood up wearing a red baseball cap that said “Yes, Dennis Rodman is my son.” Rodman’s vet daddy now operates the Rodman’s Rainbow Obamaburger restaurant in northern Angeles City. He said his restaurant menu includes burgers with red, yellow and green colored buns and fries, colors associated with his flamboyant son. Now we know we he gets it from. Source
These two guys are VERY close. Tyler The Creator Says He’s Known That Frank Ocean Was Gay For A Long Time With all the discussion surrounding Frank Ocean’s confessional about his sexuality, Odd Future’s Tyler, The Creator said his friend told him about his sexuality a long time ago. Last year the controversial rapper became embroiled in a public spat with Tegan and Sara after the Canadian indie duo claimed that his lyrics were filled with “homophobic slurs.” Tyler responded by suggesting that the sisters, both of whom are openly gay, might “Need Some Hard Dick.” Yesterday, on social media site Formspring, Tyler said: “hahaha yeah, ive know for a while, he told me a long time ago. it was just funny cause i was getting bashed as a homophobe or whatever and i kept saying dude how am i one? i have gay friends like what the fuck leave me alone haha. yeah thats my nigga tho, shit is hard for him but he did that.” We wonder HOW Frank let Tyler know that he was gay. You know that saying “I can SHOW you better than I can TELL you”…ah nevermind Image via Twitter Source
50 Cent Supports Frank Ocean 50 Cent says if President Obama says it’s ok to be gay , then he thinks so too. “Anyone that has an issue with Frank Ocean is an idiot,” 50 Cent told MTV UK. “I think Frank Ocean is a talented artist, I think he’s created material that made me know his name, that impressed me, with things he said on a song like ‘Novacane.’ “ For Fif, Ocean’s efforts in the studio are way more important than his goings-on in the bedroom, and because Frank has delivered exemplary performances on record, his romantic revelation is a non-issue for the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ MC. “It could be revolutionary or it could be a tragedy,” he said before noting the timing of Frank’s announcement and his Channel Orangealbum release. “You can call it brave or you can call it marketing, because it was intentional; it wasn’t an accident.” 50 compared Ocean’s situation to late R&B icon Luther Vandross or Intro singer Kenny Greene. Vandross was rumored to be gay, though such reports were never confirmed. Greene however, admitted in a 2001 interview that he was bisexual shortly before he died from complications caused by AIDS. “There are artists before who have made these choices just not having made the choice to expose it to the general public before an actual release of music,” 50 said. Still, 50 remarked on the changing times, alluding that sexual preference just isn’t as taboo anymore — at least it isn’t for him. “Obama is for same-sex marriage,” 50 pointed out. “If the president is saying that, then who am I to go the other way?” Great to see the hip-hop community coming together to support one of their own. On another note though, we’d love to see Fif rock that curl again. Wouldn’t you? Source
