Throughout Rihanna’s eagerly awaited interview on Oprah’s Next Chapter last night, many tears were shed.

When the 24-year-old singer opened up to the talk show host about her connections with her father, who she is estranged from, and her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, she started crying.

But during the hour-long event, there were also a lot of joyful moments and one very big surprise.

When Rihanna received a brand-new, five-bedroom Barbados home as a present from her adored mother Monica Braithwaite, she was taken aback.

Naturally, Oprah, who is renowned for surprising a lot of visitors on her talk show with extravagant acts of kindness, was the ideal person to be involved in the ruse.

In classic Oprah fashion, the talk show host summoned Monica to the house to make the big surprise, feigning to be interviewing her daughter for the program.

Monica was instantly enthralled with the stunning property as she came with her kid, Rihanna’s brother Rajad, and the singer’s aunt.

While strolling around the poolside with the group, Oprah informed Monica of her “good daughter’s” surprise.

Rihanna gave her mother a hug and exclaimed, “Oh mommy, you are so cute,” almost bursting into tears.

Monica was perplexed and worried as she looked at her daughter.

“No, I’m not expecting!” Give it up. “She seems like. Oh my god, what is it?” laughed Rihanna.

The music sensation then made the big revelation, turning to face her mother and saying in a solemn tone, “I wanted to do this for you for a very long time,” before gathering herself again. You receive the key to this house tonight for being such a wonderful mother, role model, and soldier.
