Rihanna attended the event in her native country to celebrate the historic moment of becoming a Republic.
Barbados used to be a royal colony but has now opted to self-govern. However, Barbados will still be part of the greater commonwealth despite their new independence.
Rihanna has always been known for the passion, love, and dedication for her home country of Barbados. Despite her having multiple business ventures and career opportunities in the United States, she returns home for different festivals yearly and shows some love for her country.
Over the last couple of years, fans of Rihanna have been wondering when she’ll be back to making music since we haven’t seen a new album from her since 2016’s “Anti.”
This, however, hasn’t stopped the young business mogul from being successful. As previously reported, Rihanna recently became one of the only female billionaires in the world this year, after her incredible success with her lines Fenty Beauty and Savage Fenty.
According to Uproxx, she also has taken the time to create an impressive vinyl collection of all her work.
