The Incident

Chris Brown took to social media to express his disappointment and frustration, resulting in a heated online argument between the two artists. Brown tweeted: "Who the f*** is this?!" "Y'all playing. Who da f*** is this? Who the f*** is Robert Glasper." In the tirade, Brown also wrote: "I'ma keep kicking y'all a** respectfully." "I gotta get my skills up…Ima start playing the harmonica," he added.
The Apology
In an effort to put the situation behind them, Chris Brown issued an apology to Robert Glasper. In his statement, Brown acknowledged the hard work and talent of all the nominees in the category, and expressed regret for his previous comments.
He emphasized the importance of respecting one another in the industry and the need to support each other's success. "I would like to apologize if you took offense to my reaction at the Grammys. You were not the intended target and I know I came off really rude and mean," he added.
Brown went on to reveal after doing his 'research' on Glasper, he thinks the artist is "amazing." "The organization isn't doing us Blacks our due diligence,' Brown continued. 'You and I should never be in the same category… two totally different vibes and genres." He concluded the note by writing: "So from one Black man to another, congratulations. Hope you are able to feed your family for life. God bless my G."
