AKON: 'HOUSTON'S NEW SONG NOT ABOUT EXES'

AKON has denied WHITNEY HOUSTON's new track LIKE I NEVER LEFT is about the singer's former lovers.
The R+B star teamed up with the pop legend to record the song for Houston's forthcoming new album.
And the song's lyrics have sparked rumours Houston is referencing her ex-husband Bobby Brown.
She sings, "Do you think we can pick up where we left off before the day/That I told you it was over, packed my things and moved away?"
But Akon is adamant that the track was not written about anyone in particular.
He tells MTV.com, "She's not singing about nobody. She really ain't (sic). Actually we switched some words around so people don't think she was singing about Bobby.
"This record is more of a record that anyone going through that situation would be able to relate to. It's just the fact that she got out of a situation is what made it more relevant."
Houston married Brown in 1992 and their divorce was finalised last year (07).
