Chris Brown apologizes to Robert Glasper, blames Academy for Grammys loss

Chris Brown is letting the world know he reached out to Robert Glasper to apologize for being a sore loser.

After the decorated pianist and music producer threw a several-slide temper tantrum on his Instagram Story.

Returning to the scene of the crime on Monday, the “Breezy” creator, 33, posted a screenshot of a direct message he later sent to Glasper, 44, explaining himself.

“Congratulations my brother.. I would like to apologize if you took offense to my reaction at the Grammys,” Brown wrote, acknowledging that he “came off really rude and mean.”

He added, “After doing my research I actually think your [sic] amazing.”

The “Deuces” crooner then re-directed his anger toward the Recording Academy, saying that Glasper was “not the Intended target.”

“THE ORGANIZATION ISNT DOING US BLACKS OUR DUE DILIGENCE. YOU AND I SHOULD never be in the same categor[y].. two totally different vibes and genres,” he penned.

Brown concluded his note, “So from one Black man to another.. CONGRATULATIONS. HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO FEED YOUR FAMILY FOR LIFE. God bless my G.”

Atop the screenshot of his message, which had not yet been “read” by Glasper, he added three emojis: “🤷🏽‍♂️🙏🏽❤️ .”

Social media users had blasted Brown for his behavior toward his category opponent, which included him mocking Glasper’s accolades and thrice asking his followers, “WHO THE F–K IS THIS?”
