SINGER Chris Brown's (left) representatives are disputing that he is linked to provocative photos, which hit the Internet last week, that some websites suggest are those of his former girlfriend, Rihanna.

"Perez Hilton is reporting that images circulating on the Web which purport to be provocative photos of Rihanna were 'leaked' by Chris Brown," said Brown's representatives at Sitrick publicrelations firm.

"This is both a false and defamatory statement."
