The latest series of The X Factor UK continued in fine form last night.

Since the success of her breakout hit ‘Fancy,’ the lens has truly been on Iggy Azalea.

Despite launching a host of hits from her debut album ‘The New Classic,’ rap’s new girl on the block has not exactly received the warmest of welcomes from the genre’s current tenants.  In just one year she’s broken Lil Kim‘s record for longest run at #1 on the Hot 100 and even bested nemesis Nicki Minaj by receiving an American Music Award win and Grammy nod during her first official era.

From Tamar Braxton and Adrienne Bailon to Miranda Lambert, when it comes women Chris Brown certainly has…err…a way with words.

The most recent evidence of this was found during Brown’s show-stopping set during Power 106′s “Cali Christmas” at The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., on Friday night.  There, right before rocketing into his top ten hit ‘Loyal,’ the singer officially announced his split from serial Instagram model Karrueche Tran when he said:

“How many single ladies we got in here tonight?” Brown asked. “Well, I’m single too. F— that bitch.”
