Let it be known, hip-hop lovers, that in 2014 your top-secret, against-all-odds fantasy of being serenaded by Frank Ocean while also dating Chance the Rapper did in fact come true — at least, for one lucky lady.

The two hip-hop stars apparently had some good times during the six months Chance test-drove the shiny Los Angeles lifestyle, and although he quickly ditched the West Coast to return to his hometown of Chicago, the 23-year-old rapper did have some juicy Hollywood stories to spill in his new interview with GQ. Among them? The time one Frank Ocean popped by unannounced to help him impress a new flame.

One night, Chance brought a date back to the pad to enjoy some — ahem — recreational substances, at a time when Ocean was apparently also lurking around the house. And while most people would be annoyed if a friend randomly crashed a date, the rules are probably a little different when your friend is Frank Ocean:

And so it happened: your dream date, lived in the flesh by some lucky L.A. lady. But until your wildest dreams of a personal Frank Ocean serenade come true, you can listen to the two new albums he unexpectedly dropped this month, and read the rest of the profile on his buddy Chance over at GQ.
