Soon after, Clancy backtracked from his original statement in a series of tweets: “I apologize for my comments about Target. Our history of partnering with diverse artists includes recent partnerships with a variety of musicians, such as Ricky Martin, B.o.B., and Gloria Estefan.” “Target has a longstanding tradition of supporting music and artistry that reflects the diverse landscape of American culture. Our assortment decisions are based on a number of factors, including guest demand.” Target supports inclusivity and diversity in every aspect of our business. In response, Target issued a statement to that reads: “The claims made about Target’s decision to not carry the Frank Ocean album are absolutely false.

“Target has refused to carry Frank’s album because of iTunes exclusive,” Clancy’s initial Tweet on the matter read.
