Fans tricked by Frank Ocean album release prank

Ryan Breaux, younger brother to R&B rapper and producer Frank Ocean, has pulled off a spectacular prank at the expense of the fans.

Breaux deceived Oceans followers - who're eagerly awaiting a new album release that was tipped to drop in July - by posting a link to the "new album".

Fans were instead directed to the 80's hit and internet troll sensation 'Never Gonna Give You Up' by Rick Astley.
