Robert Glasper decided to turn Chris Brown's nasty post-Grammy insult into a golden opportunity to raise funds for charity.
On Feb. 5, Glasper won a grammy for Best R&B Album for his 2022 studio album "Black Radio III"; under the same category, the other nominees included Brow, Mary J. Blige, Lucky Daye, and PJ Morton.
Brown decided to react quite negatively to his loss; he took to Instagram to air out his frustration with the outcome.
"Bro, who the f**k is this?" the R&B singer wrote. "Who the f**k is Robert Glasper?"
He continued his tirade by mocking Glasper, he then uploaded a picture of himself with a harmonica edited into the picture. He captioned it: "new level unlocked! Harmonica Breezy."
However, after realizing the fault in his actions, the singer reached out to the Grammy-winning artist to apologize through a direct message-which he took a screenshot of, and uploaded on his Instagram Stories.
"You were not the intended target and I know I came off really rude and mean," Brown 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."
No one knows if Glasper replied to the singer's message, only that days later, he printed the Grammy insult to a shirt and sold it for charity.
A Wrong And A Right
According to reports, Glasper shared the news that the "Who the f**k is Robert Glasper" shirts have been sold out, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to charity.
The shirts went on sale last Feb. 10 and were reportedly sold out within four days.
"Thanks for the support. A portion of the proceeds from this shirt will be donated to the Community Music Center of New Orleans," he wrote in an Instagram post.
"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."
Fans reacted positively to the shirt, noting how hilarious it was. "I'm for the petty spirit. I'm getting one!"
"Hell yeah, I need one!" Another added.
"The question mark should have been a Grammy."
