This is a serious question and not bait.
Would Frank Ocean be as famous if he wasn't gay?

he had massive hype before he came out, but I do think the extra publicity couldnt hurt
so marginally less talked about and less famous
Grayson Anderson
Yes.
Channel Orange is a pretty damn amazing album.
Juan Harris
also new Frank track I guess. Didn't know when I made this thread.
Dylan Allen
he wouldve ended up as big as he is now regardless. his sexuality probably did give him a little more buzz and speed things up, but its not the driving force behind his popularity.
James Roberts
genuinely good album
Blonde is ok, few tracks are great but channel orange is great from start to finish, spesh pyramids. lyrics are unique
Bentley Martin
He'd be way more famous. The girls in my family dropped channel orange when they found out he was gay.
Dominic Walker
Him being gay feels pretty irrelevant today, but it probably did attribute to the rise, like and said
James Hill
Him being gay rarely intrudes in his music so yes
Alexander Smith
you black by any chance?
Christopher Russell
no, he was already super hyped after nostalgia, ULTRA. and the WTT feature, plus he nailed the Fallon performance the week of the release
the letter was just to help people understand the album
Hunter Sullivan

Not that his bisexuality is all-defining, but he wouldn't be quite the same artist if he were straight. His complicated sexuality makes up one really interesting aspect of his songwriting, and likely affects other aspects on some level.
I'm not sure how much of his open bisexuality translated into direct fame and attention though. I don't really keep up with that side of the media.
William Bailey
Do you think he would have been able to make channel orange and blonde if he wasnt gay?
Hunter Fisher
I think he would have still been very successful. He is immensely talented. It did give him something interesting to write about that set him apart from his peers though.
