Brown manager 'denies intimate text'

Chris Brown's manager Tina Davis has denied claims that she sent him an "intimate" text just before his fight with Rihanna.

Media reports have suggested that it was a text from Davis that sparked Brown's alleged altercation with partner Rihanna before the Grammy Awards last month.

Davis's lawyer Marshall B. Grossman said: "The relationship between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown is that of manager and client. There has never been any other relationship.

"The rumours in circulation are false. There are no emails between Ms. Davis and Mr. Brown of the type which have been described in media reports."

His statement continued: "If the source of the false rumours is identified, legal action will be taken.

"Given the nature of the legal issues affecting Mr. Brown, Ms. Davis will not be making any further statements."
