They got into a big fight because she took him not accepting her friend request as proof that he was cheating on her.
He told her that he was not going to accept her friend request because why would he need to do that since they were already around each other every day. She sent him a friend request, and then she told him to be sure to accept her friend request. Then Facebook became a thing that everyone was joining. He told her that he wasn’t going to join Facebook at all. She asked him to join it, and then told him to be sure to accept her friend request whenever he got around to joining. Second, the way Sebastian forms his sentences makes the origin of this story at least slightly open for debate. (I suspect that’s why it starts with, “I was just telling …” My guess is that Sebastian was telling the story, Frank overheard it, liked it, clicked record on whatever machine was nearby, and then asked Sebastian to start from the beginning again.) That’s what happened here, and how the audio ended up on Blonde.
Sebastian told Pitchfork in 2016 that Ocean would, on occasion, record natural conversations that he thought were interesting. (The mom on Channel Orange and Blonde is Rosie Watson, mother to one of Frank’s friends.) The person talking on “Facebook Story” is Sebastian, a musician who had worked with Ocean on his visual album, Endless, and was working with him on Blonde. Virtual thing.įirst, same as the mom skit that appears on Blonde (and also the one on Ocean’s 2012 album Channel Orange), it was a real person saying real words. You’re crazy.” Because, like, yeah, I’m in front of you. She thought that because I didn’t accept her-she thought I was cheating. I don’t need to accept you on Facebook.” She started to be crazy. And she told me, like, “Accept me on Facebook.” It was virtual.
And I don’t want it because I was, like, in front of her. And Facebook arrived and she wanted me to accept her on Facebook. And, uh, I was not even cheating her or what. I was just telling that I got this girl before, and we was together since three years.
