During the recent Grammy Awards 2023, singer Chris Brown ended up losing his award in the category of the best R&B album category for Breezy.
Robert Glasper and his album Black Radio III emerged as the winner, and Brown was so frustrated with the result that he ended up reacting to the same on social media. He targeted Glasper on Instagram by posting a screenshot of the latter's Google results and wrote:
“Brow who the f**k is this? Yall playing. Who da f**k is this?”

Glasper has been a recipient of the Grammy Awards four times in the past. He has won in the categories Best R&B Album, Best Traditional R&B Performance, Best Soundtrack Compilation for Visual Media, and Best R&B Song.
