We're surprised it took this long.

As people continue to question the kiss-and-makeup attitude between the Grammys and Chris Brown—even celebs tweeted their disapproval of the lovefest that went on—the Best R&B Album winner decided to hop on Twitter too and give a message to everyone who isn't Team Breezy. 

And we know profound and deep his tweets get...

Let's get one thing straight: Oprah Winfrey doesn't beg.

If Nicki Minaj happens to come across a swarm of locusts in the next few days, at least she'll know why.

Not content to provide just watercooler fodder for the nation, the singer—or more specifically, the singer's "Pope" escort, hooded attire and unholy Grammys performance last night—fueled the fire and brimstone chat, as well.

The Catholic League wasted no time in condemning the "Roman Holiday" rapper for her exercise in exorcism on the awards show stage—which came complete with choir boys, bishops, holy water, faux possessions, levitation and even a confessional.

In other words, everything you need for a good old-fashioned controversy!
