Chris Brown Drops 'Way Too Cold' Freestyle, Jabs At Rihanna?

Chris Brown has released a freestyle version of Kanye West's "Way Too Cold," and his lyrics have reportedly landed the controversial Grammy-winning hip-hop star in hot water with ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

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."

Brown tweeted a link to the freestyle early Thursday morning (May 10) and was met with a prompt response from Rihanna, who tweeted, "Aw, poor dat #neaux1currrrr." She then immediately unfollowed Brown on the social network.

For his part, Brown hit Twitter again 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."

Interestingly, Brown's alleged verbal takedown of Rihanna comes just a few months after the stars reunited on a pair of much-debated duets, 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.

Rihanna appears on Brown's remix of "Turn Up the Music," and Brown cameos on a particularly explicit extended version of Rihanna's Talk That Talk track "Birthday Cake," which currently sits at #2 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-hop song chart.

"We did two records one for my fa! ns, one for his fans and that way our fans can come together," Rihanna explained to Ryan Seacrest 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.
