OH FRANK: Chipotle HITS Frank Ocean With $212K LAWSUIT Over Ad Campaign…That He Backed Out Of Because THEIR Logo Was Featured?!

Frank Ocean had been hit with a nasty lawsuit from Chipotle for backing out of an ad campaign. Get deets inside and find out about his “official” name change.  

The burrito specialists over at Chipotle Mexican Grill are furious with Frank Ocean for accepting nearly $212K for an ad campaign he backed out of.  And backed out of for a silly reason. 

According to TMZ, Chipotle filed suit in LA County over a $425,000 deal Frank signed to sing a remake of “Pure Imagination” for a new animated ad.

Unfortunately, Frank and Chipotle butted heads over the ad after the “Novacane” singer wanted THEIR company’s logo removed from the end of THEIR ad…and they refused!  Team Ocean fired off an email to Chipotle saying Frank was promised final say “over the recording and all promotional materials” and that they were in breach when they refused to remove their logo.  Now, Chipotle is suing to get back the $212,500 advance they paid him.

We’re hoping there’s more to this lawsuit because we don’t understand why Frank would expect Chipotle to put out a commercial that doesn’t feature their own logo.

In other news, Frank has decided to give up his birth name, Christopher Edwin Breaux, and make “Frank Ocean” his legal name.  Interesting…

Also, Frank joined Converse’s Three Artists, One Song series and recorded a song called “Hero” with Diplo and the Clash’s Mick Jones and Paul Simonon. The song drops on March 10 via Converse’s Tumblr.
