Openly gay R&B singer Frank Ocean is reportedly pressing charges against Chris Brown following their fight.

Brown is accused of punching the ‘Thinking Bout You’ singer at the Westlake Studio in Los Angeles on Sunday (27 January), after an argument allegedly about a parking space.

Ocean stayed to give police a statement and is now being treated as a victim, while Brown had left the scene by the time officers had arrived.

Gay artist Frank Ocean is tied for the most Grammy nominations in the 55th annual list, it was announced late Wednesday (5 December).

The ‘Channel Orange’ rapper includes some of the most eagerly awaited categories: Album of the Year for his debut, Record of the Year for ‘Thinkin’ Bout You’ and Best New Artist.

He is also nominated for Urban Contemporary Album and Rap/Sung Collaboration for ‘No Charge In The Wild’ which he performed with renowned rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West.

US rapper Lil Wayne has controversially referenced R&B singer Frank Ocean's sexuality in a new rap song.

Featuring on a remixed version of Future’s new single ‘Turn On The Lights’, Wayne raps: ‘Tell her I skate/ I ain’t got no worries/ No Frank Ocean, I’m straight.’

The lyric is a clear reference to the R&B singer, who revealed earlier this year his first love was a man.

It is not the first time Wayne has been accused of using homophobic lyrics in his songs. In his song Georgia Bush, he says: 'Got money out the ass/no homo but I'm rich.'

R&B singer Frank Ocean has seen his popularity soar since coming out publicly as a gay man earlier this summer.

But now he's got fellow singer Stevie Wonder speculating about whether Ocean really is gay.

In an interview with the UK's Guardian, Wonder was asked if he was surprised that there could still be such a furor, in the year 2012, about a performer such as Ocean coming out as gay.

One of R&B’s rising stars, Frank Ocean, has come out as bisexual.

Ocean, 24, famous for being a member of Odd Future, published a screenshot of a text document on his tumblr that revealed his sexuality today (4 July).

The document, titled ‘Thank You’, was written on a plane between New Orleans and Los Angeles, and was originally meant to be in the album notes for his new record Channel Orange.
