Robert Glasper turned Chris Brown’s Grammy insult into a charity opportunity
After Chris Brown insulted Robert Glasper for winning a Grammy, the esteemed musician turned it into a charitable opportunity.
After Robert Glasper won a Grammy for Best R&B Album for “Black Radio III”, Chris Brown went on a temper tantrum on social media.
Chris Brown asks who’s Robert Glasper
“Who the f–k is Robert Glasper?” he asked, struggling to understand why the esteemed composer, pianist, and producer won over him. The question essentially said a mouth full about Brown.
Turning an insult into purpose
Glasper has taken the whole situation in stride and humor instead of getting into a social media showdown. He has even gone as far as to get the question printed on a T-shirt. Despite Brown’s claim that nobody knows who the Grammy-winning musician is, the shirts sold out almost immediately, four days to be exact.
Posting an update on sales to Instagram, Glasper explained that he will use some of the money raised to benefit young musicians in New Orleans.
“Thanks for the support,” he wrote. “A portion of the proceeds from this shirt will be donated to the Community Music Center of New Orleans. 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.”
Brown did apologized claiming that Glasper was “not the intended target” of his “really rude and mean” comments.
We bet you Chris Brown is no longer asking who the f–k is Robert Glasper.
