Miguel Just Dissed Frank Ocean and Twitter Isn't Having It
Can’t we all just get along?
R&B crooner Miguel might seem like he doesn’t let a lot bother him, but apparently, there is one special person who causes him to lose his chill; and that person is fellow R&B superstar and openly bisexual singer Frank Ocean.
In a recent interview with UK-based newspaper The Sunday Times, the “Coffee” singer didn’t have very nice things to say about Mr. Ocean.
“I wouldn’t say we were friends,” Miguel said of his relationship with Frank. “To be honest, and no disrespect to anyone, I genuinely believe that I make better music, all the way around.”
While there are many things wrong with Miguel’s immature and totally uncalled for statement (one that literally came out of nowhere, since Frank doesn’t really ever talk about him), one of things that bothers the Twittersphere is the fact that BOTH artists are great in THEIR OWN ways, and to say one makes better music than the other is actually problematic.
Here’s how some fans are reacting to the news of Miguel’s diss.
\u201cWhy are Miguel and Frank Ocean being compared? They make completely different music.\u201d— OHSO \ud83c\udfc1 (@OHSO \ud83c\udfc1) 1436201322
So much for that Miguel and Frank Ocean tour I fantasized about.

\u201cMiguel\Frank Ocean rivalry is...weird. Cause I would never compare them. Like ever.\u201d— \ud83e\udd8b \ud835\udd86$\ud835\udd8e\ud835\udd86\ud835\udd8d\ud835\udd92\ud835\udd86\ud835\udd8a (@\ud83e\udd8b \ud835\udd86$\ud835\udd8e\ud835\udd86\ud835\udd8d\ud835\udd92\ud835\udd86\ud835\udd8a) 1436195196
How did the topic of Frank Ocean even come up in this Miguel interview? I'm just reading the headline below Miguel's name on 'Trends'

\u201cWhy can't Miguel & Frank Ocean both be great? We don't have many successful black male artists as is. They should be celebrating each other.\u201d— \ud83d\udc7d (@\ud83d\udc7d) 1436202145

\u201cMiguel not thinking. He making beef between him and frank ocean instead of trying to make a hot collabo (which would boost him up). Duh.\u201d— CANDACE SINCLAIRE (@CANDACE SINCLAIRE) 1436197320
\u201cI feel so weak and defenseless in this Miguel/Frank Ocean debate. They're both my fave.\u201d— . (@.) 1436205091
