Chris Brown will be not be ignored. The R&B singer took to Twitter to derail his critics who said he shouldn’t have been at Sunday night’s Grammys due to his attack on Rihanna in 2009. In a message that has since been deleted, Brown wrote: “HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY Now! That’s the ultimate F*** OFF!’’

Among the celebs who didn’t take kindly to Brown’s presence on Twitter: Country star Miranda Lambert, who wrote, “I don’t get it. He beat on a girl ... not cool that we act like that didn’t happen.’’

Jack Osbourne chimed in: “[D]on’t forget! #chrisbrownbeatswomen,’’ while singer Michelle Branch asked, “have we forgiven him?’’

Regardless, the oft-maligned singer will take the stage with Pitbull Thursday night for the Premio Lo Nuestro Latin Music awards at the AmericanAirlines Arena to be broadcast live on Univision starting at 8 p.m.. The two will sing their hit collaboration International Love.

Also in the lineup: merengue man Elvis Crespo, pop princess Paulina Rubio and reggaetón heavy hitter Daddy Yankee. Mario Kreutzberger, aka Don Francisco, is set to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award; guest presenters include Enrique Iglesias.

Before the 8 p.m. ceremony, the red carpet pre show is interactive. Provide your sartorial opinions via www.univision.com.
