What is Frank Ocean up to?

The multi-hyphenate man of mystery recently sent fans into a tizzy with what the kids are calling his supposed finsta account (@kikiboyyyyyyy), which features a profile picture of Michael Jordan holding up three fingers that can be interpreted as Ocean hinting at his third album (and before you react, Endless doesn’t count because it was released as a “visual” album.)


The account has turned private, but follows Frank’s personal account @Blonded (which has been scrubbed of posts) and is most notably followed by SZA and producer Michael Uzowuru who told The New York Times last year that he and Frank have been working on new music.

And now, according to Rolling Stone, a billboard that says “Kiki Boy 2025” has allegedly been spotted in Coachella just as the festival in the desert is set to kick off it’s first weekend.

Then there is the curious case of an unreleased snippet making its way into one of UFC fighter Payton Talbott’s YouTube vlogs which is significant because he and Ocean have been linked romantically since the singer posted Talbott on social media during Valentine’s Day.

In other Frank Ocean news, Variety reported earlier this year that he casted British actor David Jonsson of Industry and Alien: Romulus fame in his yet to be titled directorial debut. And while there’s no word about the film’s plot, they’ve already started filming on location in Mexico City.

Endless and Blonde were both released in August of 2016.
