Last year, fans began to speculate as to whether Omar Apollo and Frank Ocean were in a relationship. A lot of this is based on circumstantial evidence. However, it is fairly compelling evidence. Both men were in Italy at the same time and social media sleuths appeared to conclude that they were hanging out together. However, some have gone on to claim that there has been a secret relationship between the two for multiple years. Apollo broke onto the music scene in 2022 with his debut album Ivory, which peaked at #74. Meanwhile, "Evergreen (You Didn't Deserve Me At All)", the lead single from Ivory, went platinum and peaked at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100.
On August 10, Apollo a teaser for his new song, "Ice Slippin" on social media. The video features Apollo and his friends driving along the highway. However, the accompanying vocals felt very reminiscent of Frank Ocean's distinctive style. While the song sounds good, it's a similarity that many people picked up on. However, some users took that comparison further than others.

However, the troll was somewhat undermined by people refusing to see the negative connotation.
