Miguel Backtracks From Comments Dissing Frank Ocean

Singer Miguel recently sat down for an interview with The Sunday Times and fired shots at fellow singer Frank Ocean.

Back in 2013 Frank Ocean won the Best Urban Contemporary Album Grammy over Miguel and Chris Brown. Both refused to give Ocean a standing ovation when he went onstage—and it looks like Miguel’s feelings about the musician haven’t changed in the two years since.

“I wouldn’t say we were friends,” Miguel told The Sunday Times, referring to Ocean. “To be completely honest—and no disrespect to anyone—I genuinely believe that I make better music, all the way around.”

After he failed to give Ocean the standing ovation at the Grammys, Miguel told TMZ he’s “competitive” and offered Ocean a belated congratulations—but when TMZ asked if he would go back in time and give Ocean the standing ovation, Miguel simply answered, “No.”

Miguel released his third album, Wildheart, in late June, and Ocean has said that his follow-up to 2012’s channel ORANGE will arrive this July. Read the full Sunday Times story on Miguel here.

Miguel wrote this on his personal Twitter last night clarifying the comments…

Your move now Frank!
