A recently leaked duet of Chris Brown and Rihanna sparked rumors that the on-and-off couple have now rekindled their romance. Although they may work well as music collaborators, it appears that a romance between the two of them is well and truly over.
"Put It Up," an unreleased duet track the couple recorded back in 2013, had just been leaked to the Internet. The raunchy hit was reportedly supposed to be part of Brown's "X" album, but he decided to drop it when they split yet again.
"Baby, ain't no need to be scared of me / I guarantee that I am not a mistake / I am gonna explore all of your body / Treat me like I am your property," the song's lyrics said.
"We did 'Nobody's Business' for her album and then I wrote a song, it is called 'Put It Up,'" Brown revealed to MTV in an interview dated in 2013. "It is more of an R & B record. I wanted to do an R & B record with Rihanna because I did not want it to be the same four-on-the-floor pop."
"At the end of the day, that is what they expect from us," he added. "So, I wanted to do more of a record that nobody really heard her sing on as far as that genre."
This interview was conducted shortly after the "Where Have You Been" singer confirmed that she and Brown rekindled their romance despite having admitted that the rapper physically abused her before the Grammy Awards in 2009, as reported by Hollywood Life.
Although "Put It Up" brought Breezy and RiRi back to the headlines, this is actually not the first time that the former couple worked on a music together, as pointed out by Metro. They had actually collaborated on remixes of their songs such as Brown's "Turn Up the Music" and RiRi's "Birthday Cake." Apart from these hits, they also recorded "Nobody's Business" for RiRi's "Unapologetic" album.
The former couple may have been pretty successful in their music-making but their relationship has been a tumultuous roller coaster ride.
RiRi is currently allegedly making waves with a secret relationship with Drake while Brown has gotten back with his ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran. However, Breezy is reportedly once again single and ready to mingle after he fathered a daughter behind Tran's back.
