Rihanna sends home big Independence love

No surprise what’s topping National Hero Rihanna’s must-have list this Independence: pudding and souse, conkie, snow cones, coconut water, Banks beer and beaches — in whichever order the vibes decide.

The global superstar, fashion icon and entrepreneur took a moment to send love home for the island’s birthday, sharing a collage of pure Barbados nostalgia, including sun-kissed shores, the Barbados passport, family memories, her national honour moment and full Crop Over glam.

Her message says it all: “Congratulations to Barbados, MY HOME, on our 59th year of Independence and our 4th year as a Republic! Today also marks the installation of our 2nd President, His Excellency Lieutenant Colonel The Most Honorable Jeffrey Bostic , who alongside our Honorable Prime Minister Mia Mottley will continue to lead Barbados with excellence!! Barbados I L🇧🇧VE YOU!!!! #Bajan2DeBone”

Barbados forever — from the girl who had the whole world singing Pon de Replay. (BT)
