Chris Brown has accused his former manager of leaking his new album.

The R&B star, whose record X is set to be released May 5, warned his fans on Twitter that there are "snakes in the grass" and claimed his former boss, Tina Davis, was trying to "sabotage" the release, the follow-up to 2012's Fortune. "My old manager is leaking my NEW album and refuses to give me my back up hard drive to sabotage my album. That's F'd up G! [sic]," he tweeted. Chris later deleted the tweet but added, "Snakes in the grass ... Just stay positive."

Tina, who worked with Chris from the beginning of his career until they parted ways earlier this year, was quick to hit back and deny trying to leak the material. "@chrisbrown Trace it! Find out where it originated from.RCA can do that for you. Then send a defaming tweet out on who really did it [sic]," she posted on Twitter.
