Chris Brown is backtracking on a series of comments he made following the 2023 Grammys.

The 33-year-old singer was up for an award on Sunday in the best R&B album category and lost to pianist Robert Glasper.

While other nominees in the category included PJ Morton (Watch the Sun), Mary J. Blige (Good Morning Gorgeous (Deluxe), and Lucky Daye (Candydrip), Brown openly voiced his frustration after losing the award by verbally attacking Glasper in a series of posts shared to his Instagram Story on Sunday night.

After Glasper's 2022 album Black Radio III took home the prize, he began expressing his feelings by writing on his story "YALL PLAYING  WHO DA F–-- IS THIS?" against a screenshot where Glasper was announced as the winner.

In screenshots captured by The Shade Room, Brown continued: "IM GOING TO KEEP KICKING ASS RESPECTFULLY" before writing in white letters against a plain black background."BRO WHO THE F–-- IS ROBERT GLASPER?"

He then continued to tease Glasper by saying he has to "start playing the harmonica" and added a photo of himself playing the instrument with the caption "NEW LEVEL UNLOCKED!" and "HARMONICA BREEZY."

Finishing off the apology message, he continued: "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."

Although Brown's 10th studio album, Breezy (Deluxe), was nominated on Sunday, his last appearance at the Grammy Awards came in 2012 when he won a gramophone in the same category.
