Chris Brown Boards Private Jet With Look-Alike Son Aeko, 3, After Grammys Rant
The singer headed back to Instagram after an already infamous Grammys rant, to post a pic as he boarded a private jet with his little boy.
(UPDATE: 2/6/23 At 10:58 P.M. ET): Chris Brown took to his Instagram story to share a screenshot of an apology he sent to Robert Glasper via direct message after reacting negatively to his Grammys win over him. In it, he congratulated him and explained that his previous rant wasn’t about him, but about the Academy responsible for the Grammys. He also included three different emojis, including a shrugging person, praying hands, and a red heart, that were added over the photo.
“Congratulations my brother.. I would like to apologize if you took offense to my reaction at the Grammys,” Chris wrote in the message. “You were not the intended target and I know I came off really rude and mean. “After doing my research I actually think your [sic] amazing. THE ORGANIZATION ISNT DOING US BLACKS OUR DUE DILIGENCE. YOU AND I SHOULD never be in the same categor[y].. two totally different vibes and genres.”
“So from one Black man to another.. CONGRATULATIONS,” he added. “HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO FEED YOUR FAMILY FOR LIFE. God bless my G.”

Chris Brown is shaking off his disappointment over a big loss at the Grammys with a little flight in a private jet. The “Run It” singer, 33, took to Instagram on Monday, February 6, to pose alongside his three-year-old son Aeko Catori Brown as they both boarded a lavish private jet. “Me and my main man ready for tour,” he captioned the pic, alongside a heart emoji. In the snap, Chris wore head to toe black with white slide sandals and white socks. He also rocked a black baseball cap as he leaned into his little guy.
His lookalike son Aeko looked ready for serious business as he wore red athletic pants, an off-white top, and high-top sneakers. The tot, whom Chris shares with Ammika Harris, adorably grabbed onto his famous dad’s collar for the photo, keeping him close. The pic comes a day after he took to IG stories to blast the Grammy Awards after he lost Best R&B album to pianist Robert Glasper at the February 5 ceremony.
Many of the star’s 131 million followers on the platform rushed to the comments thread to show their support. “Chris Brown is The Michael JACKSON Of MY Era ima [sic] Continue To Say This His Impact On People is REAL,” wrote one follower. “We will always love Chris with or without a Grammy,” remarked another. “The best in his generation hands down,” commented a third.
Others were there for the adorable appearance alongside Aeko. “Making memories for a lifetime! Too cute!” reacted a fan, alongside heart face emojis. “Go get’em Chris with Aeko on deck have a safe and successful tour,” penned another. “We [love] you !” The Under The Influence tour kicks off in Dublin, Ireland on February 11.
But even a string of high-profile concert appearances couldn’t cushion the impact of his loss on Sunday evening, and the star had no problem letting his fans know how he felt. “Bro who the f*** is this? Y’all playing,” he wrote in one slide after the event, and in another he referenced Robert’s piano skills. “I gotta get my skills up,” he also wrote. “Ima start playing the harmonica.”
