It’s only been a few weeks since the two battled outside of an LA recording studio and authorities are still investigating it as an assault case.
Frank says he was called a homophobic slur during the fight and claims Chris punched him in the face when he refused to shake Chris’ hand in the parking lot the recording studio.

Ocean beat out Brown for the Urban Contemporary Album award for his Channel Orange project and as he hit the stage to accept his Grammy, the audience stood up to cheer… well… all except Chris Brown (and his manager Bu Thiam) who happened to be sitting well within camera shot.
Was Brown throwing shade or merely exercising his right to remain seated?
You be the judge… watch video of Ocean’s acceptance speech below…

As you can see, Brown politely claps but remains seated near Rihanna….
Do you think Chris Brown was making a “statement” with his actions?

I’m so sick in tired hearing about Chris Brown
A standing Ovation for WHAT? Bec he came out of the closet. We all know this boy would not get this much attention if he didn’t come out. Furthermore, Miguel should have won or Chris B. bec there Albums did way better than this boy and more ppl liked their music. they r worshiping men that admitted to deceiving a women with a man. I this Frank O voice is decent – but i would have respected him more if he would have just came out without the story of deceiving a women. I’m sick of DL guys.
MIguel definitely was cheated, I have bboth albums and believe me frank oceans album was NOT IT!
I agree with you Miguel should’ve WON that hands down him or Chris and I think it’s a shame that Chris is picked on he was clapping ……Miguel didn’t clap or stand but we only talk about Chris smh….. And everybody was not standing that’s a LIE………Frank punk ass come out the closet 1 day before his album drops smh and he started the fight by blocking Chris in but look who walking around with a fake cut on his finger Frank lost me as a fan…..ok rant over lol
Say that Please.
I 100% agree …I was trying so hard to figure out why he got a standing ovation …so then I listened to his performance and was so disappointed…this has got to be one of the most over hyped male singer out today…he sounded horrible…chris and miguel were cheated
AHH CHRIS DIDN’T STAND FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE LAST NIGHT SO STOP MAKING THIS A BIG DEAL…….JENNY JONES!!!
…as he SHOULD have….Frank’s performance was WHACK-TACULAR!!!

I here about chris like i here about beyonce. Only thing is i like him
I don’t understand why he needed a standing ovation? he was a mess! he must be one of those studio created artist
I feel u he always try to be deep and it worked for thinking about you but channel was all instruments and no talent
exercising his right to remain seated
@Joey….Chris most likely thinking the same thing….maybe why he didn’t feel the need to stand….
Why should he stand exactly? They ain’t friends.
I wouldn’t have stood either!
Wow…
Right to remain seated!! Sexual preference n this day and age does not warrant a standing ovation, should be based on performance, and that was just mediocre!!!! Miguel way better than frank ocean!!
Well everybody has the right to or not to. I love both of their music but was sorely disappointed with that performance last night. He’s deserving of the two he took home though.
It’s not throwing shade. He doesn’t like the man, why would he satnd up and clap LOL
Fuck Miss Frank Ocean honey, that bitch aint shit. And the reason Chris Brown didnt stand is because the girl (miss pound a.k.a ocean) was tired chil … the girl was wack as usual. And just because you came out Bi-whatever the fuck, dose not mean you get cool point bitch. She need to step her game up and get some voice lessons hehehe, maybe on of them lil queens from mindless behavior can give’em a free lesson.
his performance was God awful. I wouldn’t have stood either.
The whistling…lawwwd the whistling….
Although reserving his right is a clever way to put it, naw, Chris was the tree throwing major shade Frank’s way.
I am so sick of hearing about frank ocean!
I think Miguel should have won! They gave it to Frank Ocean as a way to punish Chris Brown!
i totally agree..if anything miguel should have got it, miguel looked too salty!
Truthfully I’m sick of hearing both of their names. If he didn’t stand so what??? Who cares other than the media
WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN MIGUEL DIDNT WIN?!?! Like if you think “Adorn” should have won.
He sat because he knew of that terrible performance coming.
Maybe he didn’t like the performance. I know I didn’t. Didn’t even know what the heck he was singing about until someone explained it to me.
He doesn’t have to follow everyone. It isn’t shade. Sheesh. .
No.
Heterosexuals have rights too. This mess is getting out of hand.
You got THAT right! Just TIRED of the crap! Are there ANY STRAIGHT men on TV or anywhere else anymore? Thank God for hard core rappers. Down low or not, at least they ACT like men.
I’m GLAD that Chris Brown didn’t stand for that pathetic azzwipe. Then again…maybe he SHOULD have stood..walked up on stage and kicked Ocean’s crappy azz for that never ending stupid song about chasing boys. Maybe stuffed that sh*tty head band back up his azz. That was some WHACKED OFF KEY PATHETIC AWFUL CRAP!
And I can’t even STAND Chris Brown. Hope the hell they don’t put DYKES on RHOA OR have them swaggin’ round rappin’in wife beaters grabbin’ crotch socks. The Brat gets a pass cause she’s still swaggin’ her Tupac gear from jail time.
Ocean was wack!
wack as that blue tacky ass suit he had on! lol lol lol
Soooo fucking what?! It is his right to remain seated damn let it go!!!! #that’sall
Chiris Brown needs to grow the hell up. How soon we forget. He should be glad they even invited his hood rat behind to the Grammys.. his reputation is shyt and he needs to grow the hell up. First of all, show some respect. You’re already viewed as an idiot. Now you get out in public and act like an idiot. He needs anger management STAT! Rihanna you will get your butt whipped again. It’s only a matter of time. He’s a cheat and he has issues. Money doesn’t change who you are inside. It’s apparent that the boy, yes I said boy is troubled. Iyanla, fix Chris’ life. LOL
Wasn’t frank whistling a tune or sonething? that was soooo off….ahhh i dont know who told him to do that…see when u doing too much u kinda mess it up for urself.
amen! he was putting on and not natural at all! he gay as a red flame on the stove!
Where is Kanye when you need him? He should have interrupted that dude and said Miguel should have won the award. CB stay seated for Frank. I liked Franks album but the performance was not good. Then again CB lipsynches all his performances so he can display his dancing talent.
Why would he stand up or have to? – not saying I’m a chris brown fan But what fool in their right mind is going to cheer someone on whom they may have to go to court and battle it out – that was nice chris clap and life goes on – No drama period
I wouldn’t give him a standing ovation either. I don’t see what warrants him getting a standing ovation.
he gets love because he is gay. Gay people get special treatment.
You can say that again. I blame President Obama for this mess. We should not be bullied into this mess. If he didn’t want to stand he has that right. If someone calls someone a faggot o well I’ve heard worst. And I absolutely hate when gay people refer to themselves as the "new black". Are you kidding me. I don’t see them being sprayed down with hoses. Attacked by dogs, straight only signs, or their bodies hanging from trees etc. In fact they have more rights than the heterosexual community. People love to complain about nothing. I thought America was a free country…
Obama is to blame for acceptance of gays?…hmm I accepted them before he was Prez & I’m in the military! 17 years in & I have worked with gays & lesbians from Day 1. You gets no breaks in my squad because you are gay or lesbian. It does not matter!! Great mechanics & Airmen come in all shapes, sizes, sexes, genders & sexual preferences. I work with more womanizers than anything!
& as someone who has seen people fail to stand for the flag, national anthem & pledge of allegiance. Chris Brown does NOT have to stand for Mr. Ocean…never heard of him till he came out of the closet.
Just like most people. Ya’ll azzes are homophobic. You rally around an abuser but go in hard on Frank cause he like men. Pathetic.
So because he likes men, he can give a half ass performance? SMH. That would explain Rihanna’s career
bwahahaha…DEAD @Rhianna….
And that wasn’t just a ‘half ass’performance, it was the WORST!! And the ONLY reason people stood was because he’s gay. Had he NOT been gay he would NOT been asked to perform.
Chris brown didn’t have to stand up for this nobody, i dont like none of frank oceans music, everytime it comes on the radio i turn , his performace wasn’t nothing i turned from it and i dont like him , period point blank..he seems so fake its like he puts on instead of beign natural, just like with his acceptance speech! so staged…chris should have gotten the award or miguel, hell anyone but frank ocean gay ass!
imma tell you why they stood up for him…-because he came "out the closet"! lol lol lol thats the only reason cuz his music aint shit! he can’t even dance!
I would have remained seated as well frank ocean has a nice song or 2 but beating Miguel was a robbery and the gay mafia scores 2 more lol
Both of them are stupid. Chris Brown just proves everybody right with the foolish antics. Who cares if he didn’t stand up? Although a grown, mature man would not have been childish. But we all know Chris AINT GROWN. Frank need to sit down somewhere cause his whole "I’m so deep no one understands me" thing is getting tired. Especially if you can’t turn out a good performance. Both of them are childish, and pitiful. And I’m sorry but CHRIS BROWN IS ON DRUGS AND SOMEBODY NEED TO CALL THEM PEOPLE TO COME GET HIS ASS. He can blame it on exhaustion or whatever but he needs to get his shit together in rehab before he really does something even more idioic. IF his insane ass fans love him so much why is nobody tellin this negro to get help?!!! Instead they just gon gas his ass up till he overdose or beat somebody to death and make excuses for him. That boy got major damn problems.
You just gotta love C Breezy, LOL
Frank Ocean is so overrated…smh…CB would have tore that stage down had he perormed…he didnt have to stand…i wouldnt have either…
I agree, but CB probably didn’t perform because of all the antics and terrible press he is getting lately. I think he is an awesome performer and singer but all the angry IG/twitter ranting, punching of various people, neck tattoos, blond hair, community service fraud, and cracked out appereance is not a good look for his career. It’s sad to me that nobody is helping this young man. I really hope he gets help before he ends up another Amy Winehouse etc. etc. What is happening to this man?????
Miguel didn’t stand either so this media hype needs ta stop…
What with all these people standing up?? Standing up for what?? He did one album, whats the big deal?? SMH the world needs to hurry up and end.
Where is my baby Maxwell he needs to come back and blow it up…. frank Ocean could not have a win if Maxwell was in the running
I’m still trying to figure out why ANYONE stood up to watch him accept Miquel’s award. "Adorn" was one of the best r&b songs I’ve heard in years, and that says a lot considering today’s music. And why is Miss Ocean still getting awarded for writing a letter he was FORCED to write for damage control? We awarding down low brothers now? Bish, please! And Rihanna….when he dots that other eye, please remain silent and excercise your right to remain seated in that stadium full of seats you have assigned yourself to by still running round with Light Ike.
End Scene..that’s a wrap! lol
I would be nice if Black people were awarded for being black, back in the 60s…now we award people for being gay?
I was heartbroken almost when they gave that award to him and not Miguel…another reason I hate the award shows!! Trying to be politically correct, they robbed Miguel. Ain’t nothing worth respecting about a down low brother, definitely this day in age…and oh lawd, poor Rhi Rhi…hahahaha!!!
No real shade, if that was the case he wouldn’t have clapped..Frank would have done the same or worse if the shoe was on the other foot
Chris clapped. Why did Frank get a standing ovation anyway?
Probably because that funeral whistling horrible song was over.
No disrespect, but let’s keep it funky…aren’t we all glad that Chris was having a seat. That lil nigga has been doing way too much lately. Somebody should’ve told his ass to sit down a long time ago, because apparently his mama hasn’t, or the tattoo artist, or weed carrier, or Rhi Rhi, or Krab Rangoon (or whatever her name is) y’all know I’m right.
Krab Rangoon? Lol, that was mean…still laughing though
Miguel didn’t clap or stand. Hell, give Chris some credit atleast he clapped, Miguel did neither. BTW, frank’s performance was TERRIBLE. He shouldn’t have won anyway.
So many websites are stating this…they’re simply seeing what they want to see, trying to cause mess. Chris sat through many Grammy wins last night, not just Frank’s
I wonder if Chris bit his finger…he still has the bandage over it. I saw it on another site and it looked like a chunk of his finger was just raw meat.
I love Chris, that’s a real mothafucka right there. Fuck that punk ass froot loop Frank O. He a bitch!!!
What the hype over frank ocean cause all i know is all of last year i only heard miguels music and it was poplular all over. And by the way Miguel didnt stand either. Ocean = Overrated
It’s not shade. He doesn’t have to conform to the actions of others.
Chris wasn’t throwing shade he kept that shyt real! I wouldn’t have stood for that fairy azz punk either ,It’s good he even got a clap ! That punk shouldn’t have won I really believe they got that wrong on that call . Anybody but him could’ve won but him. I am really disappointed with the Grammy’s for this sorry azz show they put together. That was the last one I’m watching to dayum boring. They get worst every year …
ummm Lets see didn’t they get into a physical fight so ummm WHY WOULD CHRIS STAND ,its obvious they are not friends and what has frank even done to warrant a standing ovation.. that has got to be the most silliest thing I have read in a long time…I cant believe anyone took the time to even write an article like this
Hmph looks like this thread is ground zero for homophobic bashing. So what if people stood up because he came out the closet. That’s a hell of lot more courageous then some of you will ever be. I just find it hilarious people still like to believe because the bible condemns homosexuality it’s a choice. Newsflash you can’t force sexuality if everyone was straight there would be no gay duh. Any straight man who lust about men in this thread please reply to my post. The whole concept is asinine and a lost theory on me. I can’t believe people still are on the it’s a preference thing. Attraction is not a preference sorry people it never will be. Acting on your feelings is a whole other story though. You might be able to say you choose to sleep with the same sex but you can’t say you choose to be attracted to the same sex. If there is somebody in here who controls there attractions you can reply too. I’m interested in hearing your stories.
^^^^^^^^ Ok it’s safe 4 me to assume that u ^^^
A.J. that u are attracted to men that’s why you are so passion about the comments thrown at Ocean. It’s not so much about his sexuality with me I don’t like his music and I really don’t like how he bitch out Chris wheen whatever went down with them. That was between them he has alot to say about what Chris said but he comes out the victim ! He became a punk when he pulled that shit knowing this man history he used it to his advantage and leverage to up his career and kill this man career. But what God has for u is for u and that’s all I have to say on that.
You assume correctly. At the end of the day Chris put himself in the situation. If you don’t shake someone’s hand it would be ok if they punched you for it? TBH Chris was being petty it was a simple situation to handle but he doesn’t handle situations well. I don’t see how you have sympathy for him anyway. I never have had sympathy for him even before Frank. If Frank used Chris’s past as leverage honestly who’s fault is that? If he didn’t have a volitale past it couldn’t be used against him. He shoulda just stopped after he beat Ri down but he kept on goin and goin. He gave himself a bad reputation. I don’t even like Frank like that I like Thinkin Bout You thats about it. I like more of Chris’s music but I can’t support him as a human being. Just like some people can’t support homosexuality.
As unattractive as Ocean is he need to stick to being a man. He just has no sex appeal.
Merely exercising his right to remain seated. Hell, at least he was clapping. Miguel just SAT THERE emotionless.
