\"I felt it was only right or me to pay homage to a time in her life because she showed me what womaning up is about,\" Willow teased before spilling the beans -- she was about to step in her mother's shoes and perform with Wicked Wisdom.

\"We're just hoping for that one tear,\" teased Willow, revealing that they were going to perform \"Bleed All over Me,\" her favorite song.

Willow also said that before diving into the performance, the top-secret plan had been in the works \"for a couple months.\"

Any plan to get her mother to cry was a success, as the camera cut to Jada dabbing away at some tears.

She also lip-synced along to the song and even rushed the stage to throw her arms around Willow when the performance was over.
