Judge Throws Out Frank Ocean’s Dad’s $142 Million Lawsuit Against Russell Simmons
2 years ago, Frank Ocean’s estranged father, Calvin Cooksey, sued Russell Simmons and Global Grind. He accused them of defaming his name by labeling him a deadbeat dad, and decided that $142 million would make it all better. SMH.
