In that case the employer is going to hear " I want more money because I think you owe it to me". It is very easy for the employer to respond with "We don't feel the same way because X,Y and Z reasons or we cannot afford to pay you for the work you did for free".
Negotiations are about leverage. Having a good relationship with someone is great. But they are not going to give you a big chunk of money because the like you. They are going to give you a big chunk of money because they need to you stay on when you are on your way out the door.

But there are also negotatied outcomes where both parties are better off. For what it's worth, I'm an employer and although my employees have IP agreements I'd want them to feel real good if the business wanted their side project.
