Right after becoming the world’s newest republic, Barbados officially declared its most famous citizen, singer Rihanna, a national hero.
This country had already granted the title of extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador to the several times winner of the Grammy award and commissioned her to promote tourism and education.
The author of “Umbrella” or “Diamonds” has infused “imagination into the world through the pursuit of excellence with her creativity, her discipline and, above all, her extraordinary commitment to her homeland,” said the Prime Minister. Mia Mottley to the dignitaries gathered for Tuesday’s celebrations.
“On behalf of a grateful nation and an even prouder people, we honor you with the designation of Barbados’ national hero, Ambassador Robyn Rihanna Fenty,” Mottley said, inviting the star to join her.
Mottley also praised the humble origins of Rihanna, born 33 years ago in Saint Michel and raised in the capital Bridgetown.
Taking advantage of her musical success, the singer has built a makeup and fashion empire, with earnings that dwarf those of other superstars such as Madonna and Beyonce.
Forbes estimated in August that he was worth $ 1.7 billion, of which $ 1.4 billion came from his cosmetics company Fenty Beauty, a partnership with French fashion giant LVMH.
Rihana thus joins a select group of ten other citizens designated national heroes of Barbados, which on Tuesday disassociated itself from the British Crown and proclaimed itself a republic. (I)
