Frank Ocean Dissing Chris Brown With New Lyrics?
Frank Ocean, the 25-year-old singer-songwriter, has released some lyrics thought to be aimed at fellow singer Chris Brown.
On his Tumblr account, Ocean released the lyrics to his version of Migos' hit song "Versace" with no audio to accompany it. In Ocean's version, he may be addressing the fact that the world witness Brown refusing to stand up with the majority of the audience at the 2013 Grammy Awards when Ocean received his award.
"Versace Versace, I'll play the piano..I'm not Liberace…You could stay seated I'm taking that Grammy…Your Music Is Sloppy…," Ocean wrote on his Tumblr account.

While he made no mention of Brown, several media outlets like Spin magazine assumed that the singer was dissing his fellow musician after the pair have been engaged in a feud. Ocean, and Brown engaged in a physical altercation outside of a West Hollywood, Calif. recording studio on Jan 27.
Witnesses said Brown started the dispute when he punched Ocean over a parking space, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore, according to TMZ reports. While numerous reports claimed Ocean wanted to press charges against Brown, the former took to his Tumblr account to let fans know that he decided against doing so.
"As a child I thought if someone jumped me it would result in me murdering or mutilating a man," Ocean wrote on his Tumblr page earlier this year. "But as a man I am not a killer. I'm an artist and a modern person. I'll choose sanity. No criminal charges. No civil lawsuit."
Brown spoke about putting the Ocean altercation behind him months ago.
"With the Frank Ocean situation, I'll put it like this. It's in the past," Brown said in a recent interview on Big Boy's Neighborhood on Los Angeles' Power 106 last March. "Some stuff went down but it's … always sensationalized and people blow it out of proportion."
