Fakemink and Frank Ocean are not dating despite rumors floating around after the two recently met up for lunch.
During an Instagram Live session on Tuesday (Sept. 9), the "Easter Pink" artist addressed the speculation, saying that he didn't get "freaky with Frank Ocean."
"Frank Ocean's my friend," the rapper insisted. "One, I'm not gay, yeah? But is it mad for me to be friends with someone that's gay?"
Fakemink added that he and Frank met for lunch in London but welcomed the public to have their own opinions about the friendship. "I mean, at the end of the day, yeah, you can say whatever you want," Fakemink continued. "But I don't fuck with fucking queerbaiting shit, bro. I'm not gonna allude to being gay for more fans."
The rapper added that he knows "a lot of artists" who use queerbaiting methods to reach more listeners but refuses to do so himself. Fakemink ended the video by asking, "Can you let me fucking live?"
The Blonde vocalist has been rumored to be dating UFC fighter Payton Talbott since earlier this year after taking multiple pictures with the athlete and even supporting him in-person at a fight. More recently, Frank confirmed his sexuality as "Overall: Bi: Homosexual-Leaning" in an Instagram Story thirteen years after first coming out.
