Chris Brown has apologized after throwing a tantrum during the Grammys on Sunday when he didn’t win Best R&B Album. Brown apologized with a private message to Robert Glasper, who won the Grammy for Best R&B Album. After sending his apology, Brown shared the private message on his Instagram Story.
“Congratulations my brother… 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,” the 33-year-old artist wrote. “After doing my research I actually think you’re amazing… the organization isn’t doing us Blacks our due diligence. You and I should never be in the same category… two totally different vibes and genres. So from one Black man to another, congratulations. Hope you are able to feed your family for life. God bless my G.”

Chris Brown unnecessarily shading Robert Glasper after rightfully losing to him at the Grammys for Best R&B Album is why he is insufferable to many people. Just hold the L fam.
Glasper is a legend and disrespecting him should be beneath Chris. #GRAMMYs pic.twitter.com/xBvvUHQ2Vw
