TYLER THE CREATOR started out by making a joke about OCEAN coming out by tweeting, F*****g Finally Sus Boy @frank_ocean Hahahaha, You Still Aint Got No B*****s Hahaha My N***a Dawg. He got a little more serious and tweeted, “My Brother Finally F*****g Did That. Proud Of That N***a Cause I Know That S**t Is Difficult Or Whatever.”
