Ocean keeps love life private

-

‘NUDITY is not sex, nor pornograph­y. It is the human form reduced visually to it’s purest state. Uncensored and untainted.”

This is the caption that accompanie­d the nude snap media personalit­y Shashi Naidoo shared on her Instagram account on Monday.

The 38-year-old model posted a picture of herself nude next to a pool, but while many compliment­ed her, others thought it had no place on the internet.

She hit back at one critic, who said: “Shameless and talentless clout chasing... there are kids on this app.”

“Honey there is a lot worse on the internet.

“And why are we teaching our kids that the human form is something to be ashamed of?” Naidoo asked.

Another likened her photo to an oil painting that would by social standards be more acceptable. “I don’t see anything wrong with your photograph and, yes, the human form is beautiful. If it was an oil painting done in that same position posted by some famous painter, it would be hailed as art,” the fan wrote. | FRANK Ocean has been in a secret relationsh­ip for three years.

The 31-year-old rapper made the confession after being asked if he uses dating apps, and revealed that he doesn’t rely on technology to find himself a date, as he’s already got a special someone whom he’s been romancing in private.

Speaking to Gayletter magazine, he said: “I don’t think I would use dating apps now. I f**k with Marc Jacobs’ philosophy on that, so I wouldn’t rule it out, but it is a little hectic being a famous person on dating apps.”

The hitmaker keeps much of his life private, and used to even post secretly on Instagram using a private account for over a year.

In November last year, he opened up his Instagram account to the public, but says he did so in order to “control” his public image, as he was finding the way he was being portrayed “wasn’t even close to correct”.

He said: “I feel like there was dissonance between how I was seen by the audience and where I was actually.

“When you’re completely minimal with media, there’s a lot of pressure on whatever one thing you’re doing.”
