Brown, 25 and Drake were planning to perform the song that they collaborated on last month at the annual music event in Toronto, Canada, according to TMZ online.
Drake reportedly personally invited Brown to perform with him at OVO Fest. However, Brown's people allegedly cancelled the performance because it would have been difficult for the singer to enter Canada due to his past legal troubles.
Canada has a strict policy on allowing convicted felons entry into their county. The live duet would have been the artists' first performance together.
In 2012, the duo were involved in a fight in a New York nightclub apparently over Rihanna, who was romantically linked to Drake and Brown.
