Rihanna honored Barbados’ independence and the brand new president with a heartfelt publish that includes private household pictures.

“Congratulations to Barbados, MY HOME, on our 59th year of Independence and our 4th year as a Republic!” she wrote. “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!!”

The slideshow included close-ups of native crops, conventional dishes and the duvet of her Barbadian passport, reinforcing her deep ties to the Caribbean nation.

Rihanna, 37, has lengthy used her platform to uplift her nation, which formally grew to become a republic on November 30, 2021, reducing ties with the British monarchy.
