Chris Brown and Robert Glasper might have resolved their differences—with the former being the aggressor. But that was not after Chris apologized to the latest Grammy winner. At the Grammys on Sunday, Chris Brown hoped to take home the R&B album of the year. His 10th studio album, “Breezy (Deluxe),” was up for the award.
Other nominees in the category included Mary J. Blige’s “Good Morning Gorgeous (Deluxe),” PJ Morton’s “Watch the Sun,” and Lucky Daye’s “Candydrip.” Robert Glasper’s “Black Radio III” was also part of the group. Eventually, Glasper headed home with the trophy.
But this did not go down well with Brown. He relied on his Instagram story to share his frustration, posting messages questioning Glasper’s credibility as an artist. In the end, he left fans with a teaser, mentioning that he was ready to bring a new style. “I gotta get my skills up,” he quipped in a since-deleted message.

Chris Brown and Robert Glasper: The Apology
After Chris Brown and Robert Glasper showdown, with only Brown lashing out and the latest Grammy winner refusing to comment on the outburst, the 33-year-old apologized. Following a private message to Glasper, Brown made the apology public. He shared a screen grab of the DM on his Instagram stories that read:
“Congratulations my brother. I would like to apologize if you took offense to my reaction at the Grammys. After doing my research I actually think your amazing…”
Amid admitting he was rude in his outburst, Brown turned his red beam at the Recording Academy. He played the racism card, claiming they should not have been in the same category. Brown mentioned that two black men with awesome talents should not be competing for an award. Then he signed off by extending a hand of friendship to Glasper.
The Grammys held in Los Angeles saw Brown going home with no award. He has been nominated eighteen times and won once throughout his career. His 2012 “F.A.M.E” album, which was also his fourth studio album, took home the crown for that year’s album of the year.
Conversely, Glasper, 44, who has been nominated eleven times, has cupped five Grammys. Apart from his R&B talent, he is a pianist with eleven studio albums. He has also worked with some great names, writing and featuring on hits with Common, Kendrick Lamar, Talib Kweli, and Mac Miller
