Chris Brown Denies Leaking Alleged Rihanna Nudie Pics

Embattled R&B star's rep claims he had nothing to do with the naked photos that may or may not be Rihanna; her label asks websites to take down the photos

When nude photos, allegedly of Rihanna, hit the Internet on Friday, it came as no surprise that Chris Brown was accused of releasing them.

Today, however, the embattled R&B star is denying those claims.

"This is both a false and defamatory statement," his rep says in a statement to Essence.com. "Chris has not released or ‘leaked’ any photos of Rihanna (or anyone else for that matter)."

The "Disturbia" singer's record label, Island Def Jam Group, hasn't stated whether or not the raunchy images are of their songbird. Instead, they've sent letters to the websites publishing the pictures, per TMZ, asking for the immediate removal of the "unauthorized photos purported to be...Rihanna," calling them a violation of "the Artist's rights."

What remains to be seen is if "the Artist" is even Rihanna. The person in the images is missing several of Rihanna's oft-photographed tattoos.
