Flo Rida has been forced to dump his highly anticipated collaboration with Chris Brown from his forthcoming album - as a result of the singer's alleged altercation with girlfriend Rihanna.

The Low hitmaker had high hopes for the track, called Sweat, and planned to release it as a single.

But the star admits he has now had to ditch the song from his upcoming album R.O.O.T.S due to the controversy surrounding Brown, who has been charged with making criminal threats following an alleged attack on Rihanna on 8 February.

He says, "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 No1."
