US rapper Chris Brown has removed himself from Twitter following an online feud with comedian Jenny Johnson.

The spat kicked off when Brown tweeted "I look old as fuck! I'm only 23". Johnson retorted: "I know! Being a worthless piece of shit can really age a person." Brown hit back with the charming, "Take them teeth out when you sucking my dick, HOE", with Johnson retorting, "It's HO, not HOE, you ignorant fuck".

The exhange continued until Johnson wrapped it up, saying "Ok I'm done. All I got from that exchange with Chris Brown is that he wants to shit and fart on me". Brown then closed his Twitter account.

The controversial rapper famously beat then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, however the pair have dueted on her latest album, tellingly called Unapologetic (below). Music fans haven't been so quick to forgive Brown though, with an activist group stickering copies of his album in hmv recently with: 'WARNING! Do not buy this album. This man beats women.'

Indeed, Irish hip hop trio The Original Rudeboys and London/Wexford singer Maverick Sabre both turned down the opportunity to support Brown on his upcoming tour.

The pair discuss their decisions in the Hot Press Round Table interview, in our new issue, out this week. Sean of ORB tells us, "The other lads in the band have history with domestic violence, and were totally against it... 85% of the online reaction we’ve had has been positive, but there are also fans of ours saying, “What the fuck are you doing, this is Chris Brown, he’s amazing!”

Maverick explains, "I got offered Dublin and Belfast as well, but I turned it down. I said to them I supported their decision when I found out about it. I’m not a fan of Chris Brown’s music, but it’s the Rihanna situation I objected to."
