Frank Ocean‘s musical output has been limited since the release of Blonde eight years ago, but it appears he’s been keeping himself busy — in the gym, at least.
The elusive singer shared a series of photos on his Instagram Stories on Monday (March 4), including a mirror selfie showing him flexing a noticeably more muscular physique while wearing a wrestling outfit.

He had earlier shared a snippet of an unreleased track but no official releases have come since 2020.
The R&B crooner alluded to a new album being in the works during his ill-fated headlining performance at Coachella last April.
“It’s been so long. Everybody talks about how long it’s been,” he said on stage. “‘It’s been so long, it’s been so long.’ But I have missed you.”
“I want to talk about why I’m here, because it’s not because of a new album. It’s because — not that there’s not a new album… but there’s not right now. Chill, chill, chill. No, it’s not right now.”

Frank Ocean has been criticized by fans for his lack of output, going many years between releasing any music at all. In recent times, he has also been focused on his fashion endeavors and was said to be directing his first film.
