Frank Ocean’s Message to His Younger Self Really Inspires

Celebrities usually receive an outpouring of love and best wishes on social media when they celebrate a birthday.

Beloved worldwide for his fresh songwriting talents and alternative R&B tunes, Frank Ocean is no different in that respect.

On October 28, 2020, for his 33rd birthday, Blacks Rule Magazine celebrated the Grammy winner with a little Nostalgia of their own.

Referencing a 2011 Tumblr post where a fan asked Ocean, then 24, what he would say to his 19-year-old self who was just starting out, the tweet received thousands of comments and over 100,000 likes.

Instead of brushing the question aside with a flip reply, Ocean opened up to his fans.

Speaking to his younger self, he revealed that he would change his name, that his heart would get broken more than once, but that despite it all, he would survive and do what he was meant to do.

His words really resonated with fans on Twitter. Many expressed that they were moved to tears by the letter.

Others repeated Ocean’s most profound bits of advice to his younger self.

One user pointed out how his words could be applied to all of life’s struggles:

His pragmatic approach to hanging in there really struck a chord with a lot of people:

Most of all people were moved by the fact that in five short years, he got where he wanted to be.

Inspiring fans with the words you shared 9 years ago? Not a bad way to spend a birthday.

His letter certainly made me teary-eyed. How about you?

Let us know in the comments?

Thanks, fam!

People Talk About What Celebrities They Felt Bad for Who Got Cancelled

Famous people are getting cancelled left and right these days.

Actors, musicians, politicians, no one is safe.

And I’m sure that you know that a ton of them did really horrible things and they deserved to be called out for them.

But did some of them just get caught up in all the “cancel” hoopla?

AskReddit users talked about what cancelled celebrities they actually feel bad for.

1. That’s too bad.

“Brendan Fraser got blacklisted after being molested by a higher up in the movie industry. His wife divorced him, taking his money too.

After all the joy that man has brought us, he got the short sh*t covered side of the stick.”

2. I’m glad he’s back!

“Paul Reubens aka PeeWee Herman.

He had a reputation of being kind of a stuck up asshole when the PeeWee character shot to fame, but not really any better or worse than other famous folks. He got “cancelled” because he was arrested for public indecency.

He was caught masturbating in an adult theater. Aside from the undercover cop who caught him, he was alone, and it was a normal adult p*rnography film. But the industry and media acted like he’d been caught with child p*rn or had r*ped someone.

He’s made a bit of a comeback recently though. I think people finally realized that in the grand scheme of “s*x crimes”, jerking it by yourself in a p*rn theater is nothing at all.

I saw his PeeWee revival on Broadway several years ago and enjoyed it, and I’ve seen him on a lot of the celebrity game shows on TV recently.”

3. Too much pressure.

“Britney Spears when she shaved her head and all that.

I’m no fan of hers but she just seemed like someone who cracked under all the pressure and lost her sh*t. Craig Ferguson did an absolutely amazing job talking about that and relating it to his own life.

Major respect to him for that.”

4. Backlash.

“The Dixie Chicks got their career ended and death threats for saying they didn’t support the war in Iraq.”

5. The Hollywood power machine.

“Megan Fox.

She called out Michael Bay on his s*xist sh*t that’s clear in all his movies but what really got her “cancelled” was that she called him a Nazi.”

6. No big deal.

“Janet Jackson after “Nipplegate.”

I was a kid when it happened so I had no awareness of it but I don’t get how everyone blamed her.

Is there any reason she was at fault instead of Justin Timberlake other than s*xism?”

7. Taking on the Church.

“I’d have to say Sinead O’Connor.

She was absolutely trashed by the media. Written off as a complete nutcase and ruthlessly mocked. All because a bunch of pearl-clutching fools refused to believe the increasingly obvious realities of the Church and decided that the Pope was above criticism.

She was entirely vindicated in the subsequent years (actually, the truth was far worse than even the Church’s worst critics could have imagined), but the legacy of that witch-hunt lives on.

Did SNL, Frank Sinatra, or any of the other f*ckers who were involved ever apologize to her?”

8. A dumb decision.

“I was pretty upset for James Gunn when he got fired from Marvel for things he had said over 10 years ago

But obviously fan outrage over that managed to make Disney realize how stupid their decision was.”

9. Isn’t that ironic?

“Lisa Bonet.

Bill Cosby put a scarlet letter on her after the movie Angel Heart. The convicted rapist thought she “sullied” the image of “The Cosby Show” and “A Different World” and this affected her career going forward.

Not saying she was an Oscar contender, but I remember being upset about how mysogynistic the whole thing was”

10. Don’t hear much from him anymore.

“Al Franken.

He was both my Senator and my favorite politician.

He would have made a great president.”

11. People got offended.

“Liam Neeson.

He was having a frank and honest conversation about his past feelings and emotions around a sensitive topic from his past.

In the interview he is clear that he knows what he said and felt is wrong yet what’s the point in trying to justify it when the sound bite has already been provided.”

12. That was a weird one.

“Michael Richards.

I don’t feel bad he got cancelled. I just felt bad when he tried to apologise on Letterman and the audience was laughing and thinking it was a joke just because it was “Kramer”.

Seinfeld was a good friend and he told the audience this wasn’t a laughing matter.”

13. Thoughts on this one?

“Aziz Ansari definitely didn’t deserve the public shaming he received for what amounted to an awkward, bad date.”

How about you?

Do you think there are some celebrities who got unfairly cancelled?

What Celebrity Got Cancelled and You Genuinely Felt Bad for Them? Let’s See What People Said.

Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, we now live in a “cancel culture”.

If you’re a public figure and you do something that is deemed to be inappropriate, you may face serious consequences from the public at large.

But is it always fair?

Are there any celebrities out there who have been cancelled that you feel bad for?

AskReddit users shared their thoughts.

1. A rough situation.

“Amanda Bynes.

From what I’ve seen she was abused by Dan Schneider at Nickelodeon Studios for YEARS.

And a lot like Britney, is currently under conservatorship because of a total mental breakdown.”

2. You mean Encino Man?

“Brendan Fraser.

The man was groped by Hollywood exec Philip Berk and spoke out about it long before #metoo.

They instantly cancelled him and we never got to see him again till only recently… His mom also passed away shortly after he got s*xually assaulted.”

3. Shelley Duvall.

“Duvall was in a string of great Robert Altman films in the 1970s, and did her own string of Cable shows in the 1980s, Shelley Duvall’s Faere Tale Theatre, Tall Tales and Legends, and Bedtime stories.

Also, she did a few musical albums, and even created some computer games in the 1990s, like A Bird’s Life and A Dog’s life. There is WAY more to her then Wendy Torrane in the Shining.

Now, she is completly forgotten, except when people call her crazy or something. She deserves WAY better in my opinion.”

4. Britney.

“Britney spears.

She didn’t even get “cancelled”, she just had her reputation smeared all over primetime tv and THEN the courts decide that her reaction to being systematically erased from relevance was “crazy”.”

5. Blacklisted.

“Peter Norman.

He should have been Australia’s greatest athlete, but he supported the black power salute and got black listed by the Australian Olympic Committee.”

6. Haven’t heard about this one.

“David Arquette.

There’s a really good documentary called “You Cannot Kill David Arquette” about what happened and how he is now.”

7. Two good actresses.

“Ashley Judd.

Harvey Weinstein blacklisted her for years. She’s an incredible actress IMO.

Mira Sorvino, too. She went from one of the most in-demand actresses after winning her Oscar, to being completely blacklisted because Weinstein was telling anyone who’d listen that she was a diva and impossible to work with.”

8. Star of the 1980s.

“Corey Feldman.

He was the first who told everyone what was really going on with child actors in Hollywood and no one listened.

Barbara Walters yelled at him for exposing it.”

9. Pee-wee!

“Paul Reubens.

As a 1980s kid who loved PeeWee’s Playhouse, remembering how my parents tried to explain Paul Rubens getting canceled is hilarious.

My dad told me “he took off his clothes in a movie theater” and kid me was like “wow that’s really weird but I guess he is kind of crazy?””

10. Remember this?

“Winona Ryder.

That feels like one of the first big “cancels” of the Internet age.

Glad she was able to rebound with Stranger Things.”

11. This was ridiculous.

“Howard Dean.

He yelled in excitement at one of his political rallies in 2004.

People thought he was wasn’t fit to be president because of it.”

12. Outrage.

“Kind of a unique case but, Laura Dern.

When Laura Dern played Ellen’s girlfriend on the episode where she came out, she was blacklisted by the industry for nearly a decade. And some people would harass her to the point she needed protection in public.

She says her manager warned her she wouldn’t get roles if she agreed to take the part on Ellen but did so anyways. She went from Jurassic Park and being in demand to nobody giving her a call.

Obviously she’s recovered but we lost a decade of great Laura Dern performances because of studios perception that she was cancelled by public opinion for playing a gay role.”

13. For speaking out.

“Not completely gone, but Terry Crews has issues getting work because he spoke out about being s*xually assaulted during the #MeToo movement.

People assumed a man his stature couldn’t be assaulted and he gave names and people weren’t very happy.”

Do you feel bad for any cancelled celebs?

If so, talk to us in the comments.

We’d love to hear from you!

You Might Not Know These Things About “Saturday Night Live”

Even if you’re not an avid fan of SNL, there’s almost no way to escape the characters that have become a part of the fabric of entertainment across the board.

The show has run for decades, has played host to pretty much anyone who matters in Hollywood, and has spawned countless talented writers and comedians who have gone on to become household names.

If you want to know more about SNL, we’ve got some pretty fun facts coming your way!

14. At least one cast member was born after the show premiered.

Kenan Thompson was born May 10, 1978.

13. Chris Parnell was fired – twice.

Image Credit: NBC

In 2001, Parnell says it was “devastating” and had to do with his lack of confidence.  When he was let go again in 2006, the show had to cut $10 million from their budget.

12. Jennifer Aniston says she was offered a spot.

Lorne Michaels has never confirmed that Aniston was offered a spot on the show, but Adam Sandler recalls seeing her at the offices in the early 90s.

She claims she turned down the offer on the “boys’ club” show for a starring role in Friends.

11. Mindy Kaling turned down an opportunity to write for the show.

Image Credit: NBC

Timing was an issue for Mindy Kaling, too – she had taken a job writing and acting on The Office before she was offered a writing gig on Saturday Night Live.

New York was also a big draw, as Kaling wasn’t a fan of L.A., but in the end she made what she thought was the best move for her career.

10. Aubrey Plaza interned on the show.

Image Credit: NBC

A year before Plaza landed the role of April on Parks and Recreation, she was passed over for a spot on Saturday Night Live, even though she had interned for the show in 2005.

It hurt, because ever since she took improv classes in high school, she had dreamed of being on the show.

9. Nora Dunn refused to work with Andrew Dice-Clay.

Image Credit: NBC

In 1990, the controversial comic hosted the show, but Nora Dunn refused to take the stage with him due to his misogynistic material.

While she credits the show with helping her make her name, Dunn admits it “has its own baggage.”

8. They have a name for people who are good sports.

Image Credit: NBC

In her book, Bossypants, Tina Fey called people who “sneak up behind the actor who plays them and pretends to be mad about it,” or “any time someone being parodied volunteers to come on the show and prove they’re ‘in on the joke,’” are known as “Sneaker Uppers.”

7. SNL has some serious political clout.

Image Credit: NBC

Political sketches have long been one of the hallmarks of the show, and voters admit to being influenced by what they see on the show.

The phenomenon is known as “The SNL Effect.”

6. Catherine O’Hara had a role, but never appeared on the show.

Image Credit: SCTV

Dick Ebersol poached his fair share of SCTV cast members over the years, and Catherine O’Hara joined the cast ahead of the 1981 season.

She was on for only two weeks before she says she realized she made a mistake in leaving SCTV.

She told the Toronto Sun ““I had to leave. I said I’d made a huge mistake. I’m not proud of that. I felt stupid doing it. But I had to come home. I couldn’t not be with them.”

5. Chris Farley idolized John Belushi.

Image Credit: Paramount Pictures

He once stole an old pair of Belushi’s pants that he found in the wardrobe room.

4. The cast still performed during the writer’s strike.

Image Credit: NBC

The show did not go on, but the cast gathered at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and recruited Michael Cera to host.

They claimed they just couldn’t stand not performing.

3. No one can forget Sinead O’Connor’s appearance.

Image Credit: NBC

Sinead O’Connor famously ripped up a picture of the Pope at the end of a musical performance, referencing her youth and the s^x abuse scandal the rest of us would hear about soon enough.

Even Lorne Michaels gave her credit:

“I think it was the bravest thing she could do. She’d been a nun. To her the church symbolized everything that was bad about growing up in Ireland the way she grew up in Ireland, and so she was making a strong political statement.”

2. No one has hosted more than Alec Baldwin.

Image Credit: NBC

He’s hosted 17 times. The runner up is Steve Martin, who has hosted 15 times since 1976.

1. We almost got a movie.

Image Credit: NBC

In 1990, a script for The Saturday Night Live movie was written by Conan O’Brien, Robert Smigel, Al Franken, and Greg Daniels (among others), but no one else even knew about the failed attempt until 2010.

I love entertainment history, so these were right up my alley.
