The “Under the Influence” singer shared a screenshot of a direct message he sent to Glasper, in which he congratulated the musician on winning Best R&B Album at the Grammys on Sunday and apologized for his disrespectful remarks.
“Congratulations, my brother,” he said first. “I apologize if my reaction at the Grammys offended you… you were not the intended target, and I know I came across as rude and mean.”
Chris stated that he listened to Glasper’s music again and liked what he heard. “After doing my research, I actually think your [sic]amazing,” he said before criticizing the Grammys for lumping them together.
“THE ORGANIZATION IS NOT DOING OUR BLACKS DUE DILIGENCE. YOU AND I SHOULD NEVER BE IN THE SAME GENRE… we have completely different vibes and genres.”
“So, from one black man to another…” he continued. CONGRATULATIONS. I HOPE YOU CAN FEED YOUR FAMILY FOR LIFE. “May God bless my G.”
Chris was upset when he lost his single nomination for Best R&B Album to Glasper at the 65th Grammy Awards. He mocked the pianist/producer/songwriter, claiming he had no idea who he was and thus wasn’t deserving of the award.
“Yall playing,” he wrote in an Instagram Story. “Who the hell is this?”

He kept slamming Glasper with a meme that said, “Who the f*ck is Robert Glasper?”
“I’m going to start playing the harmonica,” Chris, who calls himself “Harmonica Breezy,” added.
Glasper won his fifth Grammy for Best R&B Album for Black Radio III on Sunday. Brown’s Breezy (Deluxe), Mary J. Blige’s Good Morning Gorgeous (Deluxe), Lucky Daye’s Candydrip, and PJ Morton’s Watch the Sun were all up against him.
Chris has one Grammy, which he won in 2012 for Best R&B Album for F.A.M.E.
