The small Caribbean country of Barbados is renaming the singer’s childhood street Rihanna Drive, according to Nation News, in honour of the country’s most famous export. “The Government of Barbados will on Independence Day, Thursday Nov. 30 officially change the name of Westbury New Road,” the Ministry of Tourism said in a statement. The street will be renamed, “Rihanna Drive in honour of Barbadian superstar Ms. Robyn Rihanna Fenty who grew up in Westbury New Road.”
Rihanna’s career has skyrocketed ever since her debut studio album, “Music of the Sun”, in 2005, which spawned the longtime summer hit “Pon de Replay”. The 29-year-old singer continued to apply her craft, releasing seven more albums since then, including her most recent effort “Anti”.
