LA based station Power 106 revealed on Friday they asked the rapper directly "Are you still dating Rihanna?" and he replied "No".
They announced the news in a tweet that read: "Are you still w/ Rihanna? Chris Brown: 'Uh, no - that's the short answer' just now to POWER 106 LA."
The station only released parts of the interview on their website — without the split comments — and told fans to wait for a "big announcement on Monday."
A clip of the interview then surfaced on the web that showed Chris saying he's single.
But it now appears the claim was all part of an elaborate
April Fools joke and Chris actually made the comments last year.
A source told LA based website Hollywood Life: "The Power 106 clip (that is going around the internet) is partly new, but then it cuts to old footage, and then back to new again.
"You'll notice he's wearing two different sets of clothes (in the video)."
Even Chris appeared to get in on the act by retweeting a message from the station that primed listeners for a big announcement on Monday.
Fans are now waiting with baited breath to see whether it will be news about his album, or his relationship with Rihanna.
He also tweeted a photo alongside DJ Big Boy with the caption "It's all going down right now."
