Manager: 'Fantasia didn't make sex tape'

Fantasia Barrino's manager Brian Dickens has denied reports that the singer had a relationship with a married man.

It was recently rumoured that Barrino carried on a "covert adulterous affair" with Antwaun Cook and that the two had recorded a sex tape together, prompting his wife Paula to file for divorce.

However, Dickens insisted that there was no truth to the alleged scandal.

"[I am] certain that she is not responsible for the deterioration of Cook's marriage," he told US Weekly.

"Fantasia will weather this storm with the dignity and grace that she has exemplified throughout a life in which she has repeatedly overcome obstacles and challenges. Fantasia's faith in God, herself and family remain as strong as ever."
