FRANK OCEAN Accused of Jumping Ship On Commercial for CHIPOTLE MEXICAN GRILL

Damn.

images (3) Chipotle almost had that jingle we’ve fantasized about (despite the fact that the food chain has managed to do quite well without a smancy-fancy jingle or television and radio advertising), but it would have been quite nice to hear or see one. And Frank Ocean was first out the gate to give us the first Chipotle jingle to remember yet,images (7) the “Novacaine” singer went numb on the popular food chain after backing out of a deal to record a song for an ad for Chipotle, now they’re suing him.

Yes…I typed and explained that right: FrankOcean did not want Chipotle’s logo to appear at the end of the commercial despite the fact that he was doing a Chipotle ad.
