Chris Brown Claims He Isn't Dating Ex-Girlfriend

Chris Brown has blasted reports he is dating an ex-girlfriend just weeks after his split from Rihanna.

The R&B star broke up with the Umbrella hitmaker after their well-publicized bust-up in Los Angeles in February.

Brown is facing two felony charges of assault and making criminal threats in relation to the incident - but gossips have frequently speculated the couple is back together.

But a new report suggests the singer has moved on from Rihanna - he was allegedly spotted out in Los Angeles with his ex Erica Jackson.

The student dated Brown several years ago, and a source tells the New York Daily News they got back together a few weeks ago.

The newspaper alleges Brown and Jackson were seen visiting a Los Angeles tattoo parlor on Saturday.

But a spokesman for Brown denies any romance: "He did go to a tattoo parlor with someone from the studio named Dean. There was a woman there who was a friend of Dean. There is no truth to this at all. Chris does not know the woman nor does he know the name of the woman."
