Chris Brown drops Rihanna duet from new album following split

London: Chris Brown has reportedly axed a duet that he recorded with his former girlfriend Rihanna from his forthcoming album `X.`

A source told HollywoodLife.com that he had seen the working track list for `X` and Rihanna`s song was not in the list, the Sun reported. The insider added that though record execs wanted the song to be a part of the album Brown was adamant that he would not let the album get released until the due was removed. The source said that the record execs are still hoping to convince Brown to put the duet on the album or pay him more to change his mind, as it would be a hit. ANI
