Chris Brown, 22, has collaborated with ex-girlfriend Rihanna, 24, and the two used Twitter to help promote the latest single they have worked on, despite their domestic abuse past.

Brown and Rihanna are both toying with cryptic tweets regarding the song "Birthday Cake" remix track, allegedly featuring Brown's vocals.

Brown is currently serving five years' probation for assaulting her three years ago on the eve of the Grammy Awards.

Last week saw Brown win at the 54th Grammy Awards, and his performances too. The audience reception to him was chilly as he accepted his award.

The LA Times reports that Recording Academy President Neil Portnow defended the decision of booking Brown, "What he did was a personal thing — it had nothing to do with his career," he said.

Grammy Awards executive producer Ken Ehrlich added, "We're glad to have him back. I think people deserve a second chance, you know. If you'll note, he has not been on the Grammys for the past few years and it may have taken us a while to kind of get over the fact that we were the victim of what happened."

Now in "Birthday Cake," she purrs, "Remember how you did it, if you still wanna kiss it, then come and get it." On Brown's track, she sings, "I love you, baby."
