Are Rihanna and ex Chris Brown planning to team up in the recording studio?

Rihanna and Chris Brown don’t really have the best of histories – they once dated, yes, but singer Chris also got into a whole lot of trouble for beating ex-girlfriend Rihanna up.

And while they appear to be on better terms now, it may be better for them to simply remain civil rather than grow close again.

But RiRi is reportedly thinking about heading into the studio with Chris to record a new track and she’s even considering bringing in fellow singer and ex Drake for good measure.

A source close to Rihanna told HollywoodLife: “You know for Rihanna, music is the one threat that bonds people together, she says. I don’t know what she’d be doing if it were not for making music.

“She loves her work so much and is inspired by music that I think she would record with Drake or Chris or maybe even both together. It would have to be the right time though. Timing is everything.”

If you think this might be a bit strange, clearly Rihanna does not – she sung on Chris’ song Birthday Cake in 2012 despite their split in 2009. She also recorded vocals with Drake on his tunes Take Care and What’s My Name.

Well, whatever floats your boat...
