SHUT UP AND DRIVE: STREET NAMED AFTER RIHANNA IN BARBADOS
Rihanna has the street she grew up on in Barbados named after her. Westbury New Road in the St. Michael area of Barbados is now
known as Rihanna Drive after the island nation's Prime Minister
dedicated the street to the popstar on Thursday. The block is where
the singer grew up before exploding onto the international music
scene.
"The Government of Barbados has renamed this street Rihanna Drive in honor of the Barbados native, world famous singer, actress and entrepreneur Robyn Rihanna Fenty who grew up here," a plaque in her honor reads.
The "Love on the Brain" singer gave a speech at the dedication
ceremony. Her statement was also included on the dedication plaque.
"My whole life was shaped on this very road," Rihanna said. "I was
just a little girl riding bikes, running around barefoot, and flying
kites in the cemetery, but I had BIG dreams. Dreams that were
born and realized right here. Thank you to my family, my country
and the people of Westbury New Road! You will forever be a part
of who I am, and for that I am honored to have this place named
after me."
