Frank Ocean was
recently announced a
late addition for
performance at the
2013 Grammy where
he will come face to
face with Chris
Brown after their
recording studio
altercation, as they
are both nominees for the for the Best Urban Contemporary
Album award.
The Grammy nominated R&B singer yesterday released a
blurb on his tumblr page, shedding his perspective on the
altercation between him and Chris Brown earlier in the
week.
Brown, Ocean and their respective entourages reportedly
got into a scuffle at a LA recording studio last Sunday
night; with rumours making rounds that Ocean would be
pressing charges after Brown reportedly socked him. A
photo of Brown with his hand wrapped in a cast surfaced
soon after Brown was reportedly eager to tell his side of the story to
cops. He apparently tried to extend a handshake not a
punch. It doesn’t appear that will be necessary given the
words Ocean recently released on the subject.
“As a child I thought if someone jumped me it would
result in me murdering or mutilating a man. 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. Forgiveness, albeit difficult, is wisdom. Peace,
albeit trite, is what I want in my short life. Peace.”
