Rihanna was also shining bright on Monday when Barbadian Prime Minister Mia Mottley honored the native of Barbados as a national hero.
“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,” Mottley said, as Blavity previously reported. “May you continue to shine like a diamond and bring honor to your nation by your works, by your actions and to do credit where you shall go. God bless you, my dear.”
“I have traveled the world and received several awards and recognitions but nothing compares to being recognized in the soil that you grew in.”
