Barbados, an island in the Caribbean that has been under British rule for almost 400 years, just became an officially independent country. Celebrating this in Bridgetown, the small population of the country saw Rihanna declared as the national hero of Barbados.
In her speech, the Prime Minister said: “On behalf of a grateful nation, but an even prouder people, we therefore present to you, the designee, for national hero of Barbados, ambassador Robyn Rihanna Fenty, may you continue to shine like a diamond.”
