Jamie Foxx Praises Frank Ocean Coming Out...

I wish Jamie would let his hairline out the closet and give it free!

“My sister hipped me to Frank Ocean, and I was just like, ‘Who is this dude?’ ” (Foxx said of how he first learned of the blossoming singer/songwriter. Foxx said he has been trying to get a recording session in with Ocean but has been unsuccessful. Still, he and his daughter and sister will go see the OF vocalist this week when he plays at the Wiltern in Los Angeles).

“When I heard that he came out, I thought, ‘Courageous, hooray for him’. It’s just the beginning. I have several friends who live in darkness and live in fear, and it’s just time.

Elton John did it. For Frank Ocean to do it and be hip-hop and black, he’s breaking ground, and kudos to him. At the end of the day, his music is for everybody. Now when I put his music on, I am trying to get at the ladies. Frank, you helping me out. (Jokingly) You done left more for me, Frank”.
