Lady Rihanna; Making Barbados and Combermere Great
Rihanna Fenty continues to take the world by storm, bringing honor and credit to Barbados and Combermere School!
I know there are some people that don’t like to hear combermere but I will get back to that, let’s not digress.
Lady Fenty’s latest success is the winning two awards at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles last weekend,
Favorite Female Artiste in the soul/R&B category in addition to Favorite Female Artiste in Pop/Rock.
In February there were some persons who sought to cast aspersions on the act of government honoring Rihanna making her a Barbados Ambassador, since then her achievements continue to more than justify this title.
Even as we go into independence with Rihanna’s latest win we should be recognizing and celebrating her latest accolade as well.
Because of Rihanna I now see Barbados being mentioned in international web articles that would not have spit on us before.
Also I am seeing mention of Combermere as well, of course you know that was always a great school, but it is now being officially recongnised internationally as the school that Rihanna attended.
Do you hear Beyonce saying what school she attended or Alicia Keys? No! But you hear that Rihanna went to Combermere that is why we are so freaking great!
So Congrats to Lady Rihanna Fenty (and I use lady deliberately) on her latest international win and for continuing to bring credit to our nation.
Tomorrow I will be cursing American Media on Rihanna’s behalf, log on then!!
In the mean time I leave you with this clip of Rihanna perform hit ”Rehab” at the American Music Awards,click below…

There are many things I read and hear in the media on a daily basis that I don't like either. SO DEAL WITH IT! You are welcome to leave your comments though. Make sure and come back yuh hear !!!...

As a Bajan and a Combermere man myself, I am extremely proud of Rihanna’s accomplishments. She has not forgotten where she came from. Up and on!

I echo your comments here Mr. Boyce. I am happy to see Rihanna continue her success on the music scene. In addition, I am also happy to hear her mention Barbados and more importantly Combermere – Up and On Rihanna! Continued success…..

@bajanqueen
why somebody always gots to be so phacking stupid?! Why is it that think or believe that somebody tryna take credit from the tourist board by giving credit to Rihanna. Some a wanna could stay off de internet. Let me tell u sain aight, the tourist board cannot and i repeat cannot pay Rihanna for the exposure she has given to Barbados. That is sain u should think bout before you start to run u stink mount. Some Bajans so phacking stupid, the poor chile wrestling with the US media an the scunt that they print bout she right now and befoe wanna rally round de she and show some support wanna joining in. Rihanna should be thinking of Bim of the one place where she can go to get away from all de stresses, media etc instead she finds that in other corners of the world and from other people. She gets more love in the UK ETC than sshe gets at home. I watched Bajans act like johnnies de other day when she visited McBrides and wanna talk bout pride in wanna people, wanna stupid as scunt. Only country in the world I swear to God where people so phacking bad minded and jealous of their own. Get a grip asshole. I was gonna use a psuedonym but I change my mind and putting my real name for you, stupid ass bitch.
