Chris Brown has defused Twitter tension between himself and Cher after someone had tweeted about the singer from a fake Brown account.

News spread after a tweet sent from a fake duplicate Chris Brown had said that Cher "needs a beating" due to her "opinion against Obama". It said: "That damn GRANNY b*tch CHER needs to keep her mouth SHUTTTT about her opinion against obama !!! smh she needs a beating."

Brown then tweeted the singing star after one of her fan accounts seemingly spread the fake tweet, saying:

"@cher if this is your real twitter I would like to say that some of ur fans like @cherarmy1 are spreading false accusations. I have the utmost respect for u as an artist! Just to clear this up."

Cher then responded: "Thanks Chris,Appreciate The Sentiment!As artist I'm Always Impressed by u!No war!no throw 'n Shade!Just peace Goin C Pres.2morrow,Am excited."
