And source told HollywoodLife.com: "Record execs wanted that song on there, but Chris said he would rather not and wouldn't allow the record to be released unless they took it off.
"They're still hoping to convince Chris or pay him more to change his mind because it would be a hit. The record hasn't been pressed yet, so things can change, but at this point he's not changing his mind."
Prior to their break up, the 24-year-old said working with Rihanna was "effortless".
He explained: "It flows easily. What works with us is we have similar ways of creating music"
