Chris Brown may not have been physically present at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards to accept his golden gramophone, but that didn’t stop him from making a powerful statement online. His 2024 album 11:11 (Deluxe) clinched the coveted Best R&B Album honor, marking a major milestone in his storied career.
The R&B superstar wasted no time reacting to the news, taking to Instagram Stories on Sunday, February 2, to deliver an emotional yet concise message to his massive fanbase of 144 million followers.
“We did it.”
Short, sweet, and impactful, Brown’s words resonated deeply with #TeamBreezy, the loyal supporters who have stood by him through every high and low. Later, the hitmaker returned to Instagram to expand on his gratitude, offering a heartfelt thank you to those who played a role in his success.
“THANK YOU GOD FOR COVERING ME IN YOUR LOVE AND THANK YOU TEAM BREEZY FOR BEING MY RIDE OR DIES! THANK YOU TO MY KIDS! THANK YOU TO EVERY PRODUCER, WRITER, MANAGEMENT, RCA, STREET TEAM, RADIO, PHOTOGRAPHERS, DIRECTORS, AND THANK YOU TO THE GRAMMYS,” he wrote.
Brown’s victory was no easy feat. Facing off against R&B heavyweights like Lucky Daye, Usher, Muni Long, and Lalah Hathaway during the GRAMMY pre-show, his triumph marked a significant moment in his career. This win is especially noteworthy as it comes nearly 13 years after he secured his first GRAMMY in the same category for F.A.M.E. in 2011.
With another golden gramophone now in his collection, Chris Brown’s legacy as one of R&B’s most enduring artists continues to shine. And if his passionate words are any indication, this is just another chapter in a career still hitting all the right notes.
