Justin Bieber was taken aback by the hatred Frank Ocean has suffered after his Coachella performance.

In a show of support, he posted on Instagram to show some love for Frank.

The "One Less Lonely Girl" singer said in his post, "I was blown away by Frank Ocean's Coachella performance."

"His artistry is simply unmatched, 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 gave me a night I will never forget! Thanks Frank."

The 35-year-old singer, whose real name is Christopher Edwin Breaux's, long-awaited return to the stage at Coachella was met with severe backlash.

Not only did the artist make an entrance almost 60 minutes later than expected, but any audience members not present on-site were outraged to learn shortly before that the gig wasn't being live-streamed.

Frank's set at Coachella was anything but ordinary. Confusion spread throughout the crowd as they could hardly make out the artist onstage, with screens and hordes of people obstructing their view. This headlining moment they have ended up being deemed "messy" and "disappointing" by several online commentators.

The silence between tunes gave the audience the impression that those onstage were unprepared for the gig. Such gaps in the music left people questioning whether or not they had rehearsed sufficiently for the show.

What's Wrong With Frank Ocean's Coachella Performance?

Fans left Coachella on Sunday feeling underwhelmed by Frank Ocean's lackluster performance, leading an insider to share the reasons behind his low-energy set.

Although the "In My Room" singer was returning to the stage for the first time in 7 years, festivalgoers weren't as impressed with his show as they were expecting to be.

As reported by TMZ, before taking the stage in Indio, California, the hip-hop star had suffered an ankle injury earlier that week. This forced him to change his plans to produce his performance ultimately.

An insider divulged that Frank hurt himself while rehearsing offstage during preparations for the show. Thankfully, he could make it through the performance with minimal disruption.

It has been reported that Frank injured his ankle while utilizing a bicycle as a means of transportation around the Empire Polo Field.

Said injury was severe enough for medical professionals to strongly suggest altering production for his Coachella performance, which included an ice rink built specifically for him. But before this incident, he had planned quite an extravagant show for those in attendance.
