Then the king of monkeys Sugrīva informed Rāma all about his enmity [with Vālī] out of his affection [for Rāma] and out of his distress.

54 praṇayās tv amī / visrambha-yācñā-premāṇaḥ (Amara-kośa).
In the presence of the most well-wishing friend Rāmacandra, Sugrīva recollected the events [in his own life] in distress while shedding tears. Vairānukathanam indicates that Sugrīva replied to Lord Rāma’s questions about his hostility to Vālī. Sugrīva [also] revealed confidential details about the same to Rāma. Praṇayāt indicates that Sugrīva did so out of his affection for and confidence in Rāma [54]. He spoke everything to Rāma.
