<P>Chris Brown has <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/05/10/chris-brown-denies-rapping-rihanna/" target="_blank">released a freestyle version</a> of Kanye West's "Way Too Cold," and his lyrics seem to have landed the controversial Grammy-winning hip-hop star in hot water with ex-girlfriend Rihanna.</P><P>On the track, Brown raps, "Don't f--- with my old bitch it's like a bad fur/ Every industry n---a done had her/ Shook the tree like a pumpkin just to smash her/ Bitch is breaking codes, but I'm the password."</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Chris Brown And Rihanna Collabos: What Do You Think?" id="vid:735982" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>Brown <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/chrisbrown/status/200449988394889217" target="_blank">tweeted</a> a link to the freestyle early Thursday morning (May 10) and was met with a prompt response from Rihanna, who <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/rihanna/status/200461916160786432" target="_blank">tweeted</a>, "Aw, poor dat #neaux1currrrr." She then immediately unfollowed Brown on the social network.</P><P>For his part, Brown <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/chrisbrown/status/200583584883544064" target="_blank">hit Twitter again</a> Thursday morning to issue a pseudo-denial that the song is about Rihanna. But in so doing, he appeared to take a shot at her, writing, "Assumptions! I didn't say any names so if u took offense to it then it's something you feel guilty about."</P><P>Interestingly, Brown's alleged verbal takedown of Rihanna comes just a few months after the stars reunited on a pair of <a href="/news/articles/1679703/chris-brown-rihanna-collaboration-fans.jhtml">much-debated duets</a>, a move that many saw as a public statement that Rihanna had forgiven Brown for assaulting her the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards. Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault and accepted a plea deal of community labor, five years' formal probation and domestic violence counseling.</P><P>Rihanna appears on Brown's remix of "Turn Up the Music," and Brown cameos on a particularly explicit extended version of Rihanna's <i>Talk That Talk</i> track "Birthday Cake," which currently sits at #2 on the <i>Billboard</i> R&B/Hip-hop song chart.</P><P>"We did two records &#8212; one for my fans, one for his fans &#8212; and that way our fans can come together," Rihanna <a href="/news/articles/1681128/rihanna-chris-brown-birthday-cake.jhtml">explained to Ryan Seacrest</a> of her controversial decision to team up with her ex. "There shouldn't be a divide, you know? It's music and it's innocent.</p>
