The Toronto-based music blog AUX created the app that deletes any reference to the 'Beautiful People' star.

Producer Sam Sutherland told CBS Local: "If he wants to get a tattoo on his neck that kind of looks like Rihanna we are going to write about it. But at some point, it reaches Chris Brown idiocy saturation."

He added: "All we had to do is build a frame where it recognises the word and ignores it and literally erases it. You can see everything except his name and his face."

Nickelback were previously the victims of AUX's deletion method, with their 'Nickelblock' plugin.

Chris Brown recently caused controversy over his latest tattoo, which many people believed to be an image of ex-girlfriend Rihanna'! s beaten face.

However, he dismissed the claims, stating that it is actually a Mexican-themed skull.

His latest album was recently labelled with domestic abuse warnings by campaigners at London HMV stores.
