Frank Ocean’s dad is reportedly suing him for $14.5million after the singer claimed he once used a homophobic slur years ago.
Last year, following the Orlando nightclub shooting, the Swim Good star took to his Tumblr page to recall an experience he had with his dad Calvin Cooksey.
He wrote: “I was 6 years old when I heard my dad call our transgender waitress a f****t as he dragged me out of a neighborhood diner saying we wouldn’t be served because she was dirty.”
His dad is now suing him for defamation, saying his son’s claim is not true and it’s damaged his chances at securing film and music jobs, reports TMZ .
Calvin is said to be asking for $14.5million in damages.
In 2014, he also sued Russell Simmons for $142million for claiming he was a ‘deadbeat dad
Calvin reportedly hasn’t been a part of Frank’s life since he was five-years-old.
