Justin Bieber shared his thoughts on Frank Ocean’s controversial performance at Coachella on Sunday, which left many fans confused and disappointed. The set was the musician’s first live performance in six years, and took several years to make – Ocean was originally slated to headline 2020 before the pandemic hit and was eventually rescheduled for 2023.

On Monday, Bieber posted a photo from Ocean’s performance — a documentary-style photo of his face magnified on a huge screen — along with a caption sharing his thoughts. “I was blown away by Frank Ocean’s performance at Coachella,” Bieber wrote. “His artistry is simply unparalleled, his style, his flair, his voice, his attention to detail… I was deeply moved.”

The Canadian singer also credited the ocean as a source of inspiration, adding: “It made me want to keep going and get better as an artist. Keep setting the bar high and giving me a night I’ll never forget! Thank you, Frank.”
