Is a Frank Ocean comeback finally on the horizon? Fans certainly think so, and here are the receipts.
Theories kicked into overdrive this week when a mysterious Instagram account surfaced, seemingly linked to the elusive singer. The handle? @kikiboyyyyyyy — a name that fans believe could be much more than just a finsta (short for Finstagram, or ‘fake’ Instagram account).
While the account is now private, its presence has raised more than a few eyebrows. The profile photo shows none other than Michael Jordan holding up three fingers, which fans have taken as a nod to a third Frank Ocean album (with 2016’s Endless often considered more of a visual project than a proper LP).
Launched in March 2025, the account follows just eight users — including Ocean’s own official page, @blonded (which has recently been wiped clean of all posts), SZA, and longtime producer Michael Uzowuru. The latter’s involvement is particularly telling: Uzowuru contributed to Ocean’s beloved Blonde album and told The New York Times last year that the two had been working on new music.
Per Rolling Stone, also on the follower list are Sean Matsukawa, an audio engineer who’s worked with Kendrick Lamar, Ariana Grande, and SZA; emerging artist girlsweetvoiced; and a curious account named @archivedsolemn — another potential breadcrumb.
Adding fuel to the speculative fire, a billboard reading “KIKI BOY 2025” was allegedly spotted near Coachella just as the festival prepared to kick off its first weekend.

Ocean hasn’t said a word — which, of course, only deepens the intrigue. And after nearly a decade since the release of Blonde, even the faintest sign of activity is enough to send the internet into a frenzy.
Whether “Kiki Boy” is an album title, an alter ego, or another classic Ocean misdirection, one thing’s for certain: he’s got our full attention.
