The 24-year-old star made the gesture to recognise the huge amounts of money the chosen few spend following her around the world.

The 'Where Have You Been?' singer paid for them to stay in the upper range accommodation of the Sandy Lane hotel and then invited them over to her house.

A source said, "She wanted to show them how grateful she was. She figured the best thank you was to cook them tea in her hometown."

Rihanna recently took Oprah Winfrey on a tour of the Caribbean island.

She gave the popular talk show host a private tour of her native island when she visited her for a special in-depth interview for an upcoming episode of 'Oprah's Next Chapter'.
