Robert Glasper cashed in on Chris Brown’s Grammy diss.
After being on the receiving end of Brown’s harsh reaction when he didn’t win best R&B album at this year’s Grammy Awards, Glasper started selling limited edition T-shirts online, which included the phrase, “Who the f**k is Robert Glasper?”
This week, the 44-year-old musician announced the T-shirts had sold out.
“Thanks for the support,” he shared on Instagram. “A portion of the proceeds from this shirt will be donated to the Community Music Center of New Orleans. A nonprofit created to share the music culture and music education in New Orleans, providing free music lessons to underserved youth. I can’t thank y’all enough for supporting this cause.”

As previously covered, Brown expressed frustration over losing to Glasper after the pianist’s Black Radio III album defeated the singer’s Breezy (Deluxe) record for best R&B album at the Grammys.
“WHO THE F**K IS ROBERT GLASPER,” Brown wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post.
The “No Guidance” singer continued lashing out over this outcome on social media before DMing an apology to Glasper for the way he reacted.
“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.”
