Justin Bieber appears to FALL ASLEEP during the Frank Ocean performance he defended

Just hours after Justin Bieber defended Frank Ocean’s controversial Coachella performance, a new video has emerged showing the singer falling asleep during the show.

Ocean, 35, headlined Sunday night’s Coachella, though he showed up an hour late and the set was plagued with bizarre production problems that seemed to stem from an injury he sustained in a cycling accident at the festival.

Many fans were surprised when 29-year-old Bieber quickly took to Instagram to defend Ocean’s performance, saying, “I was blown away by Frank Ocean’s performance at Coachella. His artistry is simply unparalleled, his style, his taste, his voice, his attention to detail.’

‘I was deeply moved. It made me want to keep going and get better as an artist. He continues to set the bar high and has given me an evening I will never forget! Thanks Frank,” said Bieber, who has also been criticized by many fans since defending Ocean but has yet to defend his own wife Hailey Bieber in her ongoing feud with the singer’s ex, Selena Gomez.

However, on Sunday, a video surfaced on TikTok of user “pineappleonpisa” appearing to have Bieber sleeping as he stood up in the middle of the crowd during Ocean’s set.

The video was shot during the Sunday night performance, with Ocean singing At Your Best (You Are Love), with the message “Not Justin Bieber asleep @ the Frank set.”

The TikTok user captioned the video: “six years but it’s past his bedtime #coachella #frankchella #teamselena.

Bieber has not commented publicly at this time on the video, which was posted to TikTok on Sunday night.

Fans were quick to call out Bieber for coming to Ocean’s defense, with one saying, “Justin Bieber praising the whole Frank Ocean Coachella fiasco is such Justin Bieber stuff to do.”

Others mused that the Baby crooner only needed “one day” to speak out against the backlash over Ocean’s performance, but he never publicly defended “his own wife” Hailey Bieber amid her recent feud with his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. .

“Justin Bieber will actually defend Frank Ocean after a day of negativity before defending his wife, who has been receiving death threats for weeks,” one social media user wrote.

As for Ocean, his set was seriously disrupted when the singer suffered an ankle injury while riding a bicycle at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, where Coachella is held annually.

TMZ reported on Monday that the Novacane singer was not injured on stage, but the injury warranted serious changes in his performance.

The singer originally had an ice rink with hockey players hired to skate during the performance, though the entire idea of ​​the rink was canceled due to the injury.

More than 100 hockey players were selected to participate in the show after the skaters participated in an audition for a paid performance.

Few details about the performance were given at the time, but skaters did see Frank at the audition and eventually realized the tryout was for his Coachella performance.

Although the skate portion of the show was eventually discontinued, the skaters were still included in the show and reportedly even got custom Prada. They were seen during his performance.

It’s unclear if the injury was the reason Ocean was an hour late, which led to his performance being cut short due to the 12pm curfew.

The show was even more disappointing to fans as it was his first live performance in six years.

He was last on stage in 2017 as part of the Flow Festival in Finland.

It’s unclear whether Ocean’s injury will affect his performance at Coachella’s second weekend on Sunday.
