Rihanna on Chris Brown: 'I Lost My Best Friend'

Rihanna flashes a smile as she arrives at Narita International Airport on Wednesday (August 15) in Tokyo, Japan.

The 24-year-old singer is in town to perform at the Summer Sonic Tokyo festival this upcoming weekend!

Rihanna was recently interviewed by Oprah Winfrey for her OWN show Oprah’s Next Chapter, where she opened up about Chris Brown.

“It was a weird, confusing space to be in,” Rihanna told Oprah. “Because as angry as I was, as angry and hurt and betrayed, I just felt like he made that mistake because he needed help and who’s going to help him? Nobody’s going to say he needs help. Everybody’s going to say he’s a monster without looking at the source, and I was more concerned about him.”

“I lost my best friend. Everything I knew switched … switched in a night and I couldn’t control that”

Rihanna‘s full interview airs on Sunday night on the OWN network.
