Frank Ocean gives fans a rare glimpse into his Instagram account.

Frank Ocean is undoubtedly one of the most private entertainers in the game. Despite being one of the most revered artists of our generation, he doesn't really allow the public into his personal life. He deleted his Twitter account in the past and relied solely on Tumblr as his social media platform of choice. After opening up an Instagram account in 2017, which has been private since its inception, Ocean finally opened up his IG page for the rest of the world to see.

Frank Ocean's Instagram account, @blonded has been made public. The singer's IG, which was opened in the spring of 2017, currently has 307 posts and 118K followers. Ocean is following 267 people including Vince Staples, Rico Nasty, Brockhampton's Kevin Abstract, and Tracee Ellis Ross, among others. After making his account public, the singer shared a shirtless mirror selfie captioned, "Welcome.

While Frank Ocean remains relatively low-key, the decision to make his Instagram account public might be a hint that he has new music on the way. Earlier this month, Ocean announced that Blonded radio would return with a special episode for the midterm elections. Hopefully, Ocean emerging back into the public eye mean that he has new music on the way. Mind you, this is all speculation. However, it's been over two years since he dropped Blonde so it's safe to say that fans are eager for new music from the singer.
