American popstar and business mogul, Rihanna Fenty, was conferred as a National Hero in Barbados as the Caribbean country became a republic on Monday night.
According to Metro UK, Rihanna was honoured as the 11th National Hero during the presidential inauguration ceremony at Bridgetown where Barbados was officially named a republic.
