The star looks like he’s on the receiving end of almighty tongue-lashing from Adele – just moments after he snubbed Frank Ocean by sitting through a standing ovation for his rival at last night’s Grammys.

Brown and Ocean have been bickering for weeks and came to blows last month after bumping into each other outside a Los Angeles recording studio.

Neither of the pair pressed charges following the fist fight – but Brown clearly hasn’t got over the spat.

When Ocean pipped him to the Best Urban Contempary Album award, the whole audience rose to their feet to applaud him – except bad loser Brown, who stayed planted to his seat in a sulk.

As TV cameras focused in on his protest, Adele could be seen across the aisle, glaring in his direction.

And when the applause died down, the 24-year-old cornered him for a tense one-on-one.

Cameras didn’t pick up Adele’s choice of words – but judging by Brown’s body language, it wasn’t pretty.

The 23-year-old held his arms out as open-mouthed Adele let loose.

She might have been suggesting he keep a lower-profile at the event – which marks the fourth anniversary of his arrest for assaulting Rihanna after a pre-Grammys party in 2009.
