Yeah, notice he still didn't say, "I'm sorry to the fans for being petty. For anyone that might have appreciated my artistry and sound over other up and coming artists, they lost any reason to due to my childish inability to appreciate the artistic contributions of others. For that, I am sorry."
he likely wasn't receiving a 'lashing' being that his album is so well received critically
his comment was kinda unnecessary and this.... doesn't really clear it up.. honestly if he was gonna say anything at all he should have just stuck by it and shouldn't need to clarify it, artists nowadays are too concerned with keeping things so PC it's annoying
Lets be real... Frank released a mixtape and 1 album and he has cleared just as many units as Miguel who released now Three albums... Frank however is more known. The sad thing is Miguel has true talent but lacks originality, that's why he will remain Frank Ocean's bottom. Figuratively speaking....
