Chris Brown issues apology for outburst following Grammy loss; texts Robert Glasper

Chris Brown recently issued an apology for having an anger outburst following a Grammy loss. The star was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best R&B album. After he lost to the celebrated pianist and genre-bending producer Robert Glasper, Brown went online and had an outburst. 

Brown’s apology came in the form of a screenshot that showed the artist’s direct message to Robert Glasper. Brown told the artist that he wants to apologise for his behaviour and that he wasn’t “the intended target” for his outburst. 

The R&B singer continued and said that he did his research and found his music amazing. At the same time, he suggested that they should never be placed in the same category, though he gave his congratulations to the Grammy winner. 

“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. 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.”
