Chris Brown Tweets to Haters After Grammy Win
We're surprised it took this long.

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.

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