    Just hours later, the singer posted a picture of herself sitting on Chris Brown's lap in a camper van.

    'Pour it up pour it up! #birthdaybehavior,' Rhi wrote beside the picture on Instagram.

    Earlier this month, Rihanna confirmed her reunion with rapper Chris Brown, in an honest interview with Rolling Stone.

    Speaking in the magazine's March issue, Rihanna spoke candidly of the incident that led to her much publicised split with Chris Brown and how fans and the media reacted afterwards.

    The singer explained that she wanted to punish her former beau for his actions, but felt the storm over the events went to far.

    'I wanted him to know what it felt like to lose me. To feel the consequences of that. So when that (stuff) came back it hit me like a ton of bricks,' she said.

    Like, God, you’ve got to be kidding right now. But I got real with myself, and I just couldn’t bury the way I felt.

    'But I decided it was more important for me to be happy, and I wasn’t going to let anybody’s opinion get in the way of that.'
