Flo Rida denies he's taking Chris Brown to task in his upcoming album.

The rapper tells Usmagazine.com exclusively that the rumors that he removed a collaborative track with Brown from his upcoming R.O.O.T.S. album -- because of the singer's publicized altercation with Rihanna --are untrue.

Check out today's top celeb news photos.

The reports, which have been published on various sites, quote Rida as saying: "I recorded a great song with Chris. But I won't be releasing it now because of what's going on with him and Rihanna . It could have been my next No. 1."

Rida -- whose song, "Right Round," currently tops the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart -- tells Us he never said that.

See photos from this year's Grammy awards.

"I think someone must have got it twisted," Rida says. "The thing was, we have deadlines to meet and between his business and my business, things were --we had to turn an album, so I had to really get everything together."

Rida says that the track, "Sweat," wasn't even the only song cut from his upcoming album.

Take a look at these rocker romances!

"It's not just that record, there were other records that couldn't make the album that I wanted to make the album as well, but that was the process -- this was way before me ever hearing anything about [Brown allegedly beating Rihanna ]. This was way before, at least a month. I had been done with this record."

Would he ever work with Brown in the future?

"He's a talented artist, so I looked forward to working with him," he tells Us. "And I thought it was a hot song."

    If you have never been exposed to domestic violence, you couldn't see why it's a big deal. People do make mistakes, but everyone doesn't have to pretend like they are OK with his mistake. Every decision has a consequence....his may have cost him his career...but I hear McDonalds is hiring so it all works out.
