Congratulations to Rihanna who has earned the title of Hero for her home country Barbados.
Prime Minister Mia Mottley declared their Bajan princess Rihanna a national hero on Monday; making the Fenty Mogul the second woman and the 11th person to become a national hero of Barbados.
After the news broke on social media, the congratulatory messages started to pour in from fans, one person wrote, “A living hero”, while another wrote, “Well deserved!! top woman”.
This announcement came as a new era was issued in for Barbados, as the Caribbean nation severed ties to the British monarchy by removing Queen Elizabeth as its head of state on Monday.
The event was held 55 years to the day since Barbados gained full independence but kept the monarch in the ceremonial role. The ceremony was inaugurated by Dame Sandra Mason, who became the first President of Barbados, and also in attendance was Heir to the British Throne, Prince Charles.
