The Right Honourable Robyn Rihanna Fenty
400 years ago British colonizers enslaved over 380,000 people to work on the sugar plantations in Barbados.
Now, Barbados becomes its own republic, free from British rule and removes Queen Elizabeth II as the head of state.
Sandra Mason is their first president and first woman president.
Robyn Rihanna Fenty was declared the national hero.
That Rihanna reign just won’t let up!
“May you continue to shine like a diamond…”
Your fav could never

Barbados has proclaimed Rihanna a national hero: 'May you always shine brightly like a diamond.'
Rihanna's whole "work, work, work, work, work" has been recognised by her homeland.
Barbados' Prime Minister Mia Mottley called the musician and entrepreneur the country's 11th national hero as the island celebrated becoming a republic for the first time in history.
"Ambassador Robyn Rihanna Fenty has shown innovative and pioneering leadership in her service to Barbados," Prime Minister Mia Mottley said during the Monday night event.
The 33-year-old "Umbrella" singer collected the award while dressed in an orange Bottega Veneta gown with multiple huge braids.
"May you continue to shine like a diamond and bring respect to your country," Prime Minister Mottley said, using the singer's song "Diamonds" from 2012.

The musician got a huge medal embossed with the shape of Barbados and blew a kiss to the ecstatic throng in a separate ceremony on Tuesday.
"This is one of those days that I will never forget." It's also a day I didn't see coming," she remarked in a short address encouraging the young to keep pushing Barbados ahead. "I've toured the globe and gotten several prizes and accolades, but nothing compares to being acknowledged in your own backyard."
The event on Monday was attended by a number of politicians and dignitaries, including Prince Charles, whom Rihanna met after being brought on stage alongside Mottley.

When Mottley introduced Rihanna, she said the pop singer came from modest beginnings and was born less than a mile away from the wedding.
In a letter to Barbados on Tuesday, Queen Elizabeth II, who is no longer the country's head of state, expressed her congratulations.
"I express my congratulations to you and all Barbadians on this historic occasion and your assumption of office as the first President of Barbados," she wrote. "I first visited your lovely nation on the verge of independence in early 1966, and I'm delighted that my son is still here with you now. Barbados' people have kept a particular place in my heart ever then."
Barbados has been independent from the United Kingdom since 1966, but on Tuesday, the country's first president, Sandra Mason, was sworn in as the country's first president to commemorate the country's 55th year of independence.
Rihanna is now officially a billionaire:
She is the 'richest female musician,' according to Forbes.
The island's journey to becoming a republic started more than two decades ago, and completed last month with the island's Parliament choosing the first-ever president with a two-thirds majority vote.
According to Suleiman Bulbulia, a journalist for the Barbados Today newspaper, the flag, coat of arms, and national song would stay the same, but specific allusions may alter. The titles "royal" and "crown" will be phased out, thus the Royal Barbados Police Force will become the Barbados Police Service, and "crown lands" will become "state lands," he wrote.
He remarked, "It is the dawn of a new age." "Any Barbadian may now aspire to be our President."
Barbados has proclaimed Rihanna a national hero: 'May you always shine brightly like a diamond.'
It's the first time in more than 20 years that Barbados has honoured a national hero: the last recipient was former cricketer Garfield St. Aubrun Sobers.
Rihanna joins a long list of other Barbados national heroes, including public personalities and politicians such as Errol Barrow, Barbados' first prime minister, and slave uprising leader Bussa.
Rihanna was named one of the wealthiest female performers in the world by Forbes this year, earning her the status of billionaire. Her net worth is estimated to be $1.7 billion, with the most of it coming from her cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty, according to the outlet.
Rihanna Has Been Named a National Hero.
That's right, I said it. Barbados deposed Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state and became a republic on Monday, the 55th anniversary of its independence from the United Kingdom. Out with colonialism and a bloody history of imperial legacies, and in with Dame Sandra Mason and, of course, Rihanna.
The celebration on Monday was a joyous occasion attended by scores of authorities, including Prince Charles, who spoke in place of his mother to congratulate Barbadians in a speech that recognised the island's "appalling crime" of British slavery. Mason, 72, was formerly governor-general, and Prime Minister Mia Mottley swore him in as the country's new president. As the island transitioned to being a republic, Parliament chose her to be the Barbadian head of state in October. "This distinction is being granted to a lady of this land," Mottley remarked in a speech commemorating Mason's inauguration.

Is it possible that another Barbadian lady will be honoured? Rihanna, our favourite millionaire and assless-pajama designer, has been named a "national hero for Barbados" by the prime minister. There are few methods to establish a postcolonial republic that I can conceive of. To her impressive collection of titles, add "Right Excellent Robyn Rihanna Fenty."
As a wind came through, Rihanna addressed the audience, "This is a day I'll never, ever forget." "It's also a day I didn't see coming." Barbadians are proud people, as you may be aware. We're arguably the most self-assured individuals I've ever met. And I carry that pride with me everywhere I go in the globe. The world will know that we are Bajan to the bone no matter where we travel." She praised the island's residents as "real Barbados heroes" and declared herself "Bajan till the day I die" after receiving her new title. The island is "still the only place I've ever called home," added Rihanna, who owns nearby Beverly Hills estates.
Rihanna expressed her gratitude for the honour in her closing remarks, praying for the youth of Barbados to continue pushing the island forward. "I have travelled the world and received several awards and recognitions, but nothing, nothing, compares to being recognised in the soil that you grew in," she said.

Barbados officially broke up with the Queen yesterday and became the world’s newest republic. It was an amicable split as Prince Charles was there for the ceremony and was presented the Order of Freedom award by Dame Sandra Mason, now Barbados’s first president. A gracious way to end a relationship that began with oppression…which Prince Charles acknowledged in his remarks:
"From the darkest days of our past and the appalling atrocity of slavery, which forever stains our history, the people of this island forged their path with extraordinary fortitude," said Prince Charles, who thanked Barbadian officials for inviting him and said he has greatly admired what they've achieved. "Freedom, justice, and self determination have been your guides."
That’s the reality of royal history. They come from OG coloniser bloodlines. And as more and more people interrogate the past, and the devastating consequences of white supremacy and colonisation, that part of royal identity will continue to come up…just as Charles prepares to become king, and monarchical relevance is always a concern.
Barbados becoming a republic has taken two decades and “culminated with the island's Parliament electing its first ever president last month in a two-thirds majority vote”. Barbados’s head of state is now a Bajan woman who will work alongside Prime Minister Mia Mottley to lead the nation. As Dame Sandra said yesterday:
"As cautioned by our first prime minister ... we ought no longer to be found loitering on colonial premises. We must seek to redefine our definition of self, of state, and the Barbados brand, in a more complex, fractured and turbulent world. ... Our country and people must dream big dreams and fight to realize them."
Rihanna was also honoured during the ceremony, named a National Hero, which means she’s now The Right Honourable Robyn Rihanna Fenty. Prime Minister Mottley presented the award.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Rihanna is the eleventh person to receive this recognition and only the second woman. And there’s no question why she’s there. On a global scale, no one else has represented Barbados like Rihanna. She is indeed the diamond of her country, and I imagine this distinction means more to her than any of the others she’s already collected through her career.

Rihanna Is Named a National Hero of Barbados
During Barbados’s presidential inauguration ceremony on Tuesday, Rihanna was named a National Hero by the country’s Prime Minister Mia Mottley. The event, held in the singer’s hometown of Bridgetown, was thrown to commemorate Barbados formally cutting ties with the United Kingdom and the British monarchy as the country becomes recognized as a republic within the Commonwealth. The country formally removed Queen Elizabeth as its head of state this week almost 400 years after the first English ship arrived on the Caribbean island. The current governor-general, Dame Sandra Mason, was sworn in as president.
When bestowing this honor on the Grammy winner, Prime Minister Mottley told the crowd, “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 and bring honor to your nation by your works, by your actions and to do credit wherever you shall go,” in reference to her 2012 hit song “Diamonds.” Rihanna was born in Barbados in 1988 as Robyn Rihanna Fenty. As a National Hero, she can now add “The Right Honourable” before her name. This honor has only been given to 11 other Barbadians, and Rihanna is the second woman to receive it, according to The Hollywood Reporter.#ซื้อฟรีสปิน

Rihanna Is Named a National Hero of Barbados
Rihanna has long been an inspiration to the masses, but this week the pop star, fashion designer, and general arbiter of cool finally got the recognition she deserves for being a national hero.
During Barbados’s presidential inauguration ceremony on Tuesday, Rihanna was named a National Hero by the country’s Prime Minister Mia Mottley. The event, held in the singer’s hometown of Bridgetown, was thrown to commemorate Barbados formally cutting ties with the United Kingdom and the British monarchy as the country becomes recognized as a republic within the Commonwealth. The country formally removed Queen Elizabeth as its head of state this week almost 400 years after the first English ship arrived on the Caribbean island. The current governor-general, Dame Sandra Mason, was sworn in as president.
When bestowing this honor on the Grammy winner, Prime Minister Mottley told the crowd, “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 and bring honor to your nation by your works, by your actions and to do credit wherever you shall go,” in reference to her 2012 hit song “Diamonds.” Rihanna was born in Barbados in 1988 as Robyn Rihanna Fenty. As a National Hero, she can now add “The Right Honourable” before her name. This honor has only been given to 11 other Barbadians, and Rihanna is the second woman to receive it, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Fenty founder has long been a proud representative of her country. In 2008, she became one of the country’s cultural ambassadors, doing promotional work on behalf of the Barbados tourism ministry. In 2017, the island celebrated its Independence Day by officially changing the name of Westbury New Road to Rihanna Drive in her honor. And in 2018, Rihanna was appointed as an official ambassador of Barbados. สปินฟรี

The musician got a huge medal embossed with the shape of Barbados and blew a kiss to the ecstatic throng in a separate ceremony on Tuesday.
"This is one of those days that I will never forget." It's also a day I didn't see coming," she remarked in a short address encouraging the young to keep pushing Barbados ahead. "I've toured the globe and gotten several prizes and accolades, but nothing compares to being acknowledged in your own backyard."
The event on Monday was attended by a number of politicians and dignitaries, including Prince Charles, whom Rihanna met after being brought on stage alongside Mottley.

When Mottley introduced Rihanna, she said the pop singer came from modest beginnings and was born less than a mile away from the wedding.
In a letter to Barbados on Tuesday, Queen Elizabeth II, who is no longer the country's head of state, expressed her congratulations.
"I express my congratulations to you and all Barbadians on this historic occasion and your assumption of office as the first President of Barbados," she wrote. "I first visited your lovely nation on the verge of independence in early 1966, and I'm delighted that my son is still here with you now. Barbados' people have kept a particular place in my heart ever then."
Barbados has been independent from the United Kingdom since 1966, but on Tuesday, the country's first president, Sandra Mason, was sworn in as the country's first president to commemorate the country's 55th year of independence.
Rihanna is now officially a billionaire:
She is the 'richest female musician,' according to Forbes.
The island's journey to becoming a republic started more than two decades ago, and completed last month with the island's Parliament choosing the first-ever president with a two-thirds majority vote.
According to Suleiman Bulbulia, a journalist for the Barbados Today newspaper, the flag, coat of arms, and national song would stay the same, but specific allusions may alter. The titles "royal" and "crown" will be phased out, thus the Royal Barbados Police Force will become the Barbados Police Service, and "crown lands" will become "state lands," he wrote.
He remarked, "It is the dawn of a new age." "Any Barbadian may now aspire to be our President."
Barbados has proclaimed Rihanna a national hero: 'May you always shine brightly like a diamond.'
It's the first time in more than 20 years that Barbados has honoured a national hero: the last recipient was former cricketer Garfield St. Aubrun Sobers.
Rihanna joins a long list of other Barbados national heroes, including public personalities and politicians such as Errol Barrow, Barbados' first prime minister, and slave uprising leader Bussa.
Rihanna was named one of the wealthiest female performers in the world by Forbes this year, earning her the status of billionaire. Her net worth is estimated to be $1.7 billion, with the most of it coming from her cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty, according to the outlet.
Rihanna Has Been Named a National Hero.
That's right, I said it. Barbados deposed Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state and became a republic on Monday, the 55th anniversary of its independence from the United Kingdom. Out with colonialism and a bloody history of imperial legacies, and in with Dame Sandra Mason and, of course, Rihanna.
The celebration on Monday was a joyous occasion attended by scores of authorities, including Prince Charles, who spoke in place of his mother to congratulate Barbadians in a speech that recognised the island's "appalling crime" of British slavery. Mason, 72, was formerly governor-general, and Prime Minister Mia Mottley swore him in as the country's new president. As the island transitioned to being a republic, Parliament chose her to be the Barbadian head of state in October. "This distinction is being granted to a lady of this land," Mottley remarked in a speech commemorating Mason's inauguration.

Is it possible that another Barbadian lady will be honoured? Rihanna, our favourite millionaire and assless-pajama designer, has been named a "national hero for Barbados" by the prime minister. There are few methods to establish a postcolonial republic that I can conceive of. To her impressive collection of titles, add "Right Excellent Robyn Rihanna Fenty."
As a wind came through, Rihanna addressed the audience, "This is a day I'll never, ever forget." "It's also a day I didn't see coming." Barbadians are proud people, as you may be aware. We're arguably the most self-assured individuals I've ever met. And I carry that pride with me everywhere I go in the globe. The world will know that we are Bajan to the bone no matter where we travel." She praised the island's residents as "real Barbados heroes" and declared herself "Bajan till the day I die" after receiving her new title. The island is "still the only place I've ever called home," added Rihanna, who owns nearby Beverly Hills estates.
Rihanna expressed her gratitude for the honour in her closing remarks, praying for the youth of Barbados to continue pushing the island forward. "I have travelled the world and received several awards and recognitions, but nothing, nothing, compares to being recognised in the soil that you grew in," she said.

Barbados has proclaimed Rihanna a national hero: 'May you always shine brightly like a diamond.'
Rihanna's whole "work, work, work, work, work" has been recognised by her homeland.
Barbados' Prime Minister Mia Mottley called the musician and entrepreneur the country's 11th national hero as the island celebrated becoming a republic for the first time in history.
"Ambassador Robyn Rihanna Fenty has shown innovative and pioneering leadership in her service to Barbados," Prime Minister Mia Mottley said during the Monday night event.
The 33-year-old "Umbrella" singer collected the award while dressed in an orange Bottega Veneta gown with multiple huge braids.
"May you continue to shine like a diamond and bring respect to your country," Prime Minister Mottley said, using the singer's song "Diamonds" from 2012.

Barbados' most famous daughter will soon have a lasting landmark named after her right in the neighbourhood where she grew up.
In a statement a short while ago, the Ministry of Tourism announced: "The Government of Barbados will on Independence Day, Thursday 30th November, 2017 officially change the name of Westbury New Road located in St. Michael to Rihanna Drive in honour of Barbadian superstar Ms. Robyn Rihanna Fenty who grew up in Westbury New Road."
Prime Minister Freundel Stuart and Rihanna are scheduled to unveil the new signage at a two hour ceremony at Westbury New Road, from 3.00pm to 5.00pm on Independence Day.
