<p>After losing the &#8216;Best R&;B Album&#8217; Grammy award to <strong>Robert Glasper</strong>, <strong>Chris Brown </strong>asked his 130+ million Insta-followers <em>&#8220;who the f**k&#8221;</em> he is. Chris <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/chris-brown-robert-glasper-grammy-apology/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">later apologized</a> after learning more about the jazz pianist&#8217;s musical contributions and far-reaching recognition, including his 12 lifetime <a href="https://www.grammy.com/artists/robert-glasper/11540" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grammy nominations</a> and five wins.</p>

<p>But, instead of a clapback, Glasper used Brown&#8217;s insult to raise money for a music nonprofit in New Orleans. Last week, he released &#8216;Who The F**K Is Robert Glasper&#8217; t-shirts. The limited edition black tee features a laughing emotion as the O in the word who. A blue dash slightly obscures the word f**k, and the pianist&#8217;s name is in a red-colored font, while the remaining words are white. Its entire design is a replica of one of Brown&#8217;s posts.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, just four days after their release, Glasper announced that the t-shirts sold out. Additionally, a portion of the sale funds will benefit the Community Music Center of New Orleans.</p>
<p>In the sold-out announcement post, Robert wrote:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Thanks for the support. 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.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear how much money Robert raised or what percentage he plans to donate. Unfortunately, as of Thursday, the sale link is no longer available in Glasper&#8217;s Instagram bio link. As a result, we cannot confirm how much each shirt sold for.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, the donation comes weeks before the Community Music Center of New Orleans hosts its inaugural gala and fundraising event later this month. Glasper is listed as a <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-music-center-of-new-orleans-inaugural-gala-fundraiser-tickets-546275694307?aff=ebdssbdestsearch" target="_blank" rel="noopener">board member</a> of the nonprofit on the event flyer.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Here&#8217;s Why Chris Brown Apologized To Robert Glasper Following Grammy Win</strong></h3>
<p>It&#8217;s unclear if Chris has seen Glasper&#8217;s diss-to-donation move. The <em>No Guidance </em>singer is touring Europe for the next few months.</p>

<p>Chris and Glasper crossed paths online after Brown&#8217;s rant about Robert&#8217;s <em>Black Radio III </em>winning &#8216;Best R&;B Album.&#8217; His <em>Breezy (Deluxe) </em>album was also nominated in the same category.</p>

<p>By the next day (Feb. 6), Chris slid into Robert&#8217;s Insta-DMs with a lengthy congratulations and apology. It&#8217;s unclear if Robert ever responded to Chris privately, but he hasn&#8217;t directly acknowledged Brown&#8217;s initial critiques&#8211;minus the t-shirt sale.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Congratulations my brother. I would like to apologize if you took offense to my reaction at the Grammys. You were not the intended target and I know I came off really rude and mean. After doing my research I actually think you&#8217;re amazing.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
