“Excuse me — relax,” Rowland informed the booing portion of the viewers after saying Brown’s victory.
“I wish to inform Chris thanks a lot for making nice R&B music. And I wish to inform him thanks for being an unbelievable performer. I’ll take this award, convey it to you. I like you. Congratulations — and congratulations to all of the nominees on this class.”

“U SERIOUS?” he captioned the video on Instagram.
