It was a big weekend for Chris Brown. On Sunday, his unofficial Grammy ban was lifted, and he returned to the show for the first time in three years. He got to perform twice and even won an award, for Best R&B Album. You’d think maybe Chris, knowing the Grammys could have continued icing him out, would cherish the rare national television exposure and be quietly appreciative of the opportunity. You’d think wrong!

Over on Twitter, where he’s made something of an art form out of saying things and then immediately deleting them, Brown briefly posted this message: “HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That’s the ultimate FUCK OFF!” Now that that’s out of his timeline, though, he has more room for ostensibly more sincere texts. His latest? “Be happy.” Aww. Thanks, Chris. (Side note: Really? A Grammy is the “ultimate FUCK OFF”? Is Chris Brown aware that “Weird Al” has three of them?)

But that’s not all on the Chris Brown front. If what MTV thinks is going to happen is really going to happen, then this whole situation will soon be stirred up even more shit-stirringly than ever before. (Like, “shit stirred up with a heavy-duty, professional-grade mixer” stirred up.) So Rihanna’s “Birthday Cake,” the suggestive Talk That Talk number (“I know you wanna bite this / it’s so enticing,” etc.) that originally appeared in 78-second form, is getting a longer remix. And the special guest on the remix, according to coproducer Kosine, “is gonna shock the world. Nope, nope, not gonna be on my watch [to say who]. All I’m gonna say is stay tuned — it’s dropping [this] week.” Adds his partner Tuo: “The visual has to go with it because everybody’s going to be like, ‘Oh my god!’”

Whose presence would engender such dramatics? While acknowledging the fact that the kind of people who produce pop music for a living are prone to hyperbole, MTV’s speculation seems at least worthy of entertaining: “What about Chris Brown, who was spotted last week exiting the same Hollywood recording studio as his fellow Grammy performer, Rihanna? Rumors quickly began to swirl that the exes were cooking up a duet.” No reason to actually get into the significance of a Chris Brown-Rihanna duet until it actually happens, of course. For now, though, just a head’s up: You may have some processing to do pretty soon.
