Chris Brown and Rihanna were set for an awkward reunion at an event to honour a songwriter who has worked with both R&B stars.

Andre Merritt, who penned Rihanna's Disturbia and Brown's Forever, was to be feted at an ASCAP awards after-show party in Hollywood yesterday - and both planned on being there to toast him.
