Chris Brown brought his well publicized beef with Frank Ocean to the 55th Annual Grammy Awards last night (February 10, 2013).

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.

L.L. Cool J, host of the 55th annual Grammy Awards, posed the ladies of D’Milikah Swimwear in the Grammy Awards gift lounge last Friday (February 7, 2013).

The Gift Lounge is a private event held at the Staples Center and is open only to GRAMMY invitees and media during the three days of GRAMMY rehearsals (Feb. 7-9).

I also had the honor of attending the lounge and walked away with several goodies from New Era, Chakalates (Chaka Khan’s chocolates), Diet Pepsi, DeviceWear and more.

Check out a few photos from the GRAMMY gift lounge below… Continue Reading…
