Frank Ocean (a.k.a., bae) has disappointed his fans once again. If you have been anywhere except under a rock lately, then you are definitely familiar with the recent shenanigans our dear Frank has performed with promising the debut of his latest album, “Boys Don’t Cry.” It’s been exactly a year and two days since Frank first announced the release date of this new album back in 2015, and unfortunately, Ocean fans everywhere have yet again been let down. This past Friday marks the day Frank stated the second release date of BDC, but unfortunately, the album is still nowhere to be found and is now said to be dropped in November. The musical genius behind “Thinking Bout You,” “Forrest Gump” and “Swim Good,” this man is truly a legend and should have no worries wondering if his new work being well-received. So, why are we still albumless? This question quite literally haunts my dreams and those of the millions of Ocean fans out there who too anxiously anticipate BDC. With that said, here’s an article expressing my personal frustration with my favorite artist, as I compare him to the perfect “terrible significant other.” Loyalty is tough when you get nothing in return (don’t worry, Frank, I still love you).
1. He’s a compulsive, perpetual liar.
And by "she," we mean Frank.
2. He ritually stands you up or flakes on plans.
This makes two years in a row, come on, man.
3. And he has no explanation for why he stood you up in the first place.
If you're going to stand me up, then at least give me a good reason why.
4. He tells you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear.
If you’re not ready to drop your album, then it’s OK! Honesty is the key to any successful relationship, Frank.
5. He has no regard for your emotional well-being.
Boy’s don’t cry? I bet there’s a lot of boys (and girls) crying right now because of you, sir
6. He repeats his poor behavior.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
7. He cheats on you with his “side chicks” and then rubs it in your face.
So you can appear on Kanye’s last album, but never release your own…
8. Even though you put 100 percent into this relationship, he only puts in a solid 50 percent.
Millions of Ocean fans stayed up past midnight to wait for this album, and what did Frank do? Not drop it.
9. He teases you with good behavior to make you think he loves you.
Earlier this week, Frank debuted a live stream video that was supposedly connected to "BDC," but it ended up being an hour of a blank screen. Sorry, Frank, you can't fool us that easily with "good behavior."
10. He never apologizes for his actions and if he does, it means nothing.
Have we gotten an apology for the lack of album yet? No. Will we get one? Probably not.
11. He makes you feel guilty for spending your time with other people (or artists in this case), but won't give you his time when you need or want it.
I don’t know about you guys, but I feel bad listening to Kanye, Drake and Chance the Rapper’s new albums in the midst of waiting on Frank, but I have no choice if Frank is letting me down.
12. He makes false promises.
Need I even comment?
13. And no matter how hard you try, you always keeping going back for more because you still love him.
Oh, Frank. You make loving you so difficult, but I do, I do, I do.
