Chris Brown says he had nothing to do with the release of seven images, which appear to feature his ex, pop star, Rihanna, in various states of undress.

On Saturday, a spokesperson for Brown released a statement to ESSENCE.com denouncing claims that the “Run It” star has any connection to the photos.

“This is both a false and defamatory statement. Chris has not released or ‘leaked’ any photos of Rihanna (or anyone else for that matter).”
