But instead, Ocean wen show up on one dim stage blocked by one big screen, wit only one small space fo’ see da stage. Dis intimate setup stay like one humble recording studio, but no work fo’ da 100,000+ people in da crowd. 🎶
One investigative source, da Festive Owl, wen say Sunday’s main stage suppose fo’ get one ice rink, but Ocean wen scrap da idea an wen have da ice melted. If da festival neva do dat, he would cancel his show, leaving Coachella without one closing headliner. 🤯
Ocean wen stay in da shadows most of da night, his back turned, his face hidden by da hood of his blue parka, bent ova da microphone. Da crowd had fo’ watch his messy show through camera angles dat show him performing from behind da screen. Some fans even wen joke dat Ocean not even stay Coachella, an he stay punking everybody wit one pre-taped video performance. 🤔
Halfway through his performance, Ocean wen leave da stage fo’ let DJ Crystal Mess take ova wit one “little rave mix” of his songs. Ocean stay watching his DJ from da side, holding his green baby doll. Lata he wen explain, “Dis is chaotic, but so much fun.” 😎
In one oddah “not about me” moment, Ocean wen give da stage to one young piano playah, Josiah, who stay “playing my inner child.” Had some times wen Ocean, who seem like he like fo’ be anywhere but Coachella, wen walk away from da mic an let his pre-recorded vocals play, not even try fo’ pretend an lip sync. 🚶
Ocean, who wen release Blonde an Endless seven years ago, wen disappoint fans wen he wen hint at new music, but den wen say, “Not dat there’s not a new album — just not right now.” Da only time wen he wen connect wit da audience, he wen explain dat he stay playing Coachella fo’ his brother Ryan Breaux, who wen die in one 2020 car accident at age 18. 😢
“My brother an I, we came to dis festival a lot. I feel like I was dragged here so much of da time. I hated da dust; I always dealt with a respiratory infection,” Ocean wen say. “I would always come here, an one of my fondest memories is watching Rae Sremmurd with my brother. … I know he would’ve been so excited to be here with all of us. I wanted to say thank you for the support and the ears and the love for all this time. I’m going to get back to the songs.” 🎹
So, all da Frank Ocean fans out dea, stay strong an hope dat tings go bettah nex’ time. Coachella 2023 stay one bumpy ride, but hea’s to hoping fo’ moa bettah days fo’ Frank Ocean an his fans. 🙏🎉
NOW IN ENGLISH
🎤 Frank Ocean, Bum Performance, and Coachella: An Injured Ankle 🤕 Messes Up the Show!
It’s not easy being a Frank Ocean fan, especially this past weekend. 😕 The mysterious and elusive rapper, known as a groundbreaking artist for this generation, hadn’t held a full public concert since 2017 and hadn’t released an album since 2016. So, everyone was eagerly awaiting his appearance at this year’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. But when he finally took the stage an hour late, left twice to give others the spotlight, played half-hidden behind a screen, and then pulled the plug due to curfew, even the biggest Frank Ocean fans had a hard time defending this lackluster headlining performance. 😞
By midnight, “Frank Ocean” was blowing up on Twitter for all the wrong reasons. 🐦
Ocean, also known as Christopher Edwin Breaux, has always had a reputation for avoiding the spotlight and canceling shows. He was supposed to play Coachella 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic postponed the festival, and he wasn’t on the lineup when the festival returned in 2022. This year, he showed up, but trouble began on Sunday afternoon. Signs stating “NO FRANK OCEAN MERCHANDISE” appeared in merch booths, and whiteboards in the press tent announced that no professional photographers would be allowed to shoot Ocean’s show. 📸❌
Then, without any explanation, YouTube tweeted that Ocean’s set wouldn’t be livestreamed as previously planned. 📹 Regardless, Frank fans still found ways to watch, setting up near the main stage and streaming the show on Instagram Live, TikTok, and Twitch. But what eventually made it online didn’t live up to the hype, and Twitter went wild with frustrated fans. 😠
As the clock ticked towards the midnight curfew, Ocean left fans hanging. When he finally emerged at 11 p.m., the crowd was ready for a big show like the other headliners, Bad Bunny and BLACKPINK. But instead, Ocean appeared on a dim stage blocked by a large screen, with only a small space to see the stage. This intimate setup was like a humble recording studio, but it didn’t work for the 100,000+ people in the crowd. 🎶
An investigative source, the Festive Owl, reported that Sunday’s main stage was supposed to have an ice rink, but Ocean scrapped the idea and had the ice melted. If the festival didn’t comply, he would cancel his show, leaving Coachella without a closing headliner. 🤯
Ocean stayed in the shadows for most of the night, his back turned, his face hidden by the hood of his blue parka, bent over the microphone. The crowd had to watch his messy show through camera angles that showed him performing from behind the screen. Some fans even joked that Ocean wasn’t even at Coachella and was punking everyone with a pre-taped video performance. 🤔
Halfway through his performance, Ocean left the stage for DJ Crystal Mess to take over with a “little rave mix” of his songs. Ocean watched his DJ from the side, holding his green baby doll. Later he explained, “This is chaotic, but so much fun.” 😎
In another “not about me” moment, Ocean gave the stage to a young piano player, Josiah, who was “playing my inner child.” There were times when Ocean, who seemed to want to be anywhere but Coachella, walked away from the mic and let his pre-recorded vocals play, not even trying to pretend and lip sync. 🚶
Ocean, who released Blonde and Endless seven years ago, disappointed fans when he hinted at new music, but then said, “Not that there’s not a new album — just not right now.” The only time he connected with the audience, he explained that he was playing Coachella for his brother Ryan Breaux, who died in a 2020 car accident at age 18. 😢
“My brother and I, we came to this festival a lot. I feel like I was dragged here so much of the time. I hated the dust; I always dealt with a respiratory infection,” Ocean said. “I would always come here, and one of my fondest memories is watching Rae Sremmurd with my brother. … I know he would’ve been so excited to be here with all of us. I wanted to say thank you for the support and the ears and the love for all this time. I’m going to get back to the songs.” 🎹
So, to all the Frank Ocean fans out there, stay strong and hope for better times next time. Coachella 2023 was a bumpy ride, but here’s to hoping for better days for Frank Ocean and his fans. 🙏🎉
