The elusive musician talked shoes, POTUS and Hillary Clinton.
Frank Ocean gave his first televised interview in almost four years at the White House State Dinner this week.
The 'Blonde' musician was being photographed with his mother and plus-one, Katonya, when he was approached by reporters.

Ocean, who was wearing black-and-white checked Vans with his suit, was quizzed on his shoe choice for the evening.
A hesitant Frank spoke in his usual low-key manner, with his mother waiting in the wings.
Katonya posted this picture on her Twitter account with the heartfelt message:
I am so blessed to have a son that includes me in his once in a lifetime events!!! I just hugged our First Lady!!!! #statedinner pic.twitter.com/Q0qTVsk2nK

The singer also said he was looking forward to asking Obama "if he had fun these last eight years… and congratulate him, too.” he told the interviewers.
The conversation moved onto Hillary Clinton, and when asked if he would do a concert to show his support, he said, “probably not."
"We’re running out of time, I think. Might have to catch you in four years,” he said before leaving.
Also in attendance was Chance the Rapper, who brought his father as his plus-one to the star-studded evening.
