“The Recording Artist has since changed his mind about the singles model, and is again interested in more durational bodies of work.”
As first reported by HighSnobiety, anyone on Twitter who's ever cried alone in their bedroom to Channel Orange is currently having a full-on freakout thanks to a mysterious rumor about the 35-year-old's potential retirement from music, with thousands of fans posting everything from reaction memes to "Bro if Frank Ocean retired fr imma be sick" to "please tell me this is a joke."
But where did this rumor even come from? Well, it appears to stem from a rare interview with the "Thinkin Bout You" singer that was published earlier this month by The Week, in which he discussed the growing popularity of Homer and his current focus on the luxury jewelry brand.
“It’s funny because one of the things that was important for me especially with this kind of project was to counteract what I feel is popular today, that is being everywhere and everything for everyone all at once. Not the movie but yeah, this type of multiverse multi-discipline multi-task artist," as Ocean explained.
"We did not end up counteracting it totally, as our heads still do spin and we’re interested in so much. But for now, we make diamonds, and no telling what next," he said before adding that "twenty years of my life was about song-writing and recording music. I’d been in the studio since I was 12-and-a-half years old."
"My assumption was that some of what I developed in one field of art and business would be useful in the next field," Ocean continued. "But I still wanted to know more about exactly what I was doing before I did it.”
