Frank Ocean isn’t being met with resistance from the entire hip hop community — rapper Trina tells TMZ, she fully supports Frank coming out, claiming, “He’s extremely talented and that’s what matters.”
As expected, Frank’s revelation this week — that he is sexually attracted to men — has received a mixed reaction in the hip hop community … a notoriously homophobic sector of the music industry.
But Trina tells us, “I don’t think [Frank's] music sales or the level of support his music obtains should be judged based on his sexual preference.”
She adds, “If he’s happy and comfortable with his sexuality then so be it. I feel his decision to come forward was bold and honest. It’s his life. Let him enjoy and live it. I wish him much success and happiness.”
