Barbados has declared singer, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, popularly known as Rihanna, a national hero during its republican celebration in the capital of Bridgetown.

This is coming after the Caribbean country officially removed Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state and became a republic. In the overnight ceremony on Monday, November 29th, Dame Sandra Mason was sworn in as president coinciding with the country’s 55th independence day anniversary.
