Chris Brown performs at 2018 BET Experience Staples Center Concert, sponsored by COCA-COLA, at L.A. Live on June 22, 2018 in Los Angeles, California.

""THIS Album DESERVES A GRAMMY WETHER U LIKE ME PERSONALLY OR NOT"

It's been nearly a year since Chris Brown dropped off his double-disc album, Heartbreak On A Full Moon. The rapper's latest project was released on Halloween 2017 so unfortunately, it missed the deadline for GRAMMY submissions and wasn't taken into consideration. This weekend, the GRAMMY submissions for 2017-2018 come to a close and it looks like Breezy has faith that his latest body of work will land him a GRAMMY this year.

Chris Brown believes the GRAMMYs should give him an award for Heartbreak On A Full Moon, regardless of their personal feelings towards him. There's no doubt that Breezy's been controversial over the years and he has a bittersweet relationship with the GRAMMYs. The rapper shared the cover art on Instagram earlier today.

"THIS Album DESERVES A GRAMMY WETHER U LIKE ME PERSONALLY OR NOT.... ❤️. PERIOD!!!!!!" He wrote on Instagram.

Brown's previously shared a similar sentiment in the past. Back in 2016, the rapper went on a rant against the GRAMMYs on Twitter after he was snubbed of an award.

"#GRAMMY? This is probably the main reason I love being free to create any kind of music I want. Too many people kiss ass and work less," he wrote in a since-deleted Tweet. "If u turn on ya radio right now I promise within the hour you will hear Chris Brown on damn near half the songs or I've co-written. The awards used to mean something. Now it's about likes, and memes."

We'll see if Breezy ends up leaving with any awards. The GRAMMY nominations are set to be announced on December 5th.
