Chris Brown had “No Filter” after finding out he lost in the Best R&B Album category Sunday night at the Grammy Awards.

The R&B hitmaker took to Instagram to voice his frustration because pianist and music producer Robert Glasper took the trophy in the category for his 2022 album Black Radio III.

In since-deleted posts, Brown expressed his disappointment at losing to Glasper and insulted the decorated musician. Screenshots captured by The Neighborhood Talk revealed Brown’s multi-slide rant.

“Y’all playing who da f–k is this?” the singer wrote alongside a crying-laughing emoji. He then sarcastically added, “I gotta get my skills up…Ima start playing the harmonica.”

The “Run It!” singer even posted an edited an image of himself playing the harmonica with the caption: “New level unlocked! Harmonica Breezy.”

“Congratulations my brother ..

YOU AND I SHOULD never be in the same category… two totally different vibes and genres.”
