Rihanna Is Now A National Hero In Barbados

In a video of the ceremony, Rihanna walked up to Mottley to accept her new title, wearing an orange silk dress from Bottega Veneta, strappy heels, and a black face mask. The event took place in Rihanna’s hometown of Bridgetown.

The Prime Minister told Rihanna, “On behalf of a grateful nation, but an even prouder people, we, therefore, present to you, the designee, for the national hero of Barbados, ambassador Robyn Rihanna Fenty.”

“May you continue to shine like a diamond and continue to bring honor to your nation by your words, by your actions, and to do credit wherever you shall go,” Mottley added, referring to Rihanna’s 2012 hit, “Diamonds.” 

This ceremony is special as it marks Barbado’s official split from Queen Elizabeth and previous British colonization. Barbados is now classified as an independent republic for the first time.
