Video After The Jump
Frank Ocean's decision to reveal that he is bisexual caught many people off guard. While there has been a lot of public support for the singer, some have decided they would no longer listen to his music. 50 Cent talked to MTV recently about Frank's decision and the G-Unit boss doesn't think too highly of people who turned their backs on Frank because of his sexual orientation.
"Anyone that has an issue with Frank Ocean is an idiot," 50 Cent told MTV. "I think Frank Ocean is a talented artist, I think he's created material that made me know his name, that impressed me, with things he said on a song like 'Novacane.'"
50 went on to compare Frank to Luther Vandross. Vandross was universally loved for his soulful music even though he was rumored to be gay.
"To say you don't like Frank Ocean is to say maybe you don't like Luther Vandross. Or maybe you don't like Kenny Greene," 50 continued. "Because there are artists before who have made these choices just not having made the choice to expose it to the general public before an actual release of music."
50 said that when someone like President Obama stands up for same-sex marriages it makes you take notice.
"Obama is for same-sex marriage," he said. "If the president is saying that, then who am I to go the other way?"
