Chris Brown’s musical comeback following his altercation with Rihanna hasn’t been such a breeze. Producer and singer Timbaland has now decided not to include him on his new song.
Earlier this year, Brown withdrew from music after pleading guilty to charges of assault against Rihanna back in February. Several musical colleagues refused to work the singer, deploring the act he had committed.
Timbaland insists that he’s not one of those people, but nevertheless, he has decided to exclude Brown from the song The One I Love. Rapper D.O.E., who is featured on the track, revealed that the title was initially going to be Maniac, but was modified due to the Chris Brown’s cloud of controversy.
Futhermore, Timbaland’s manager, Marcus Spence, declared that the decision to drop Brown "was a creative decision for both parties."
Brown returned to the music scene on October 27 for a promotional concert event in East Rutherford, New Jersey held by local radio station Power 105.1.
