On November 30th, the Government of Babardos has changed Westbury New Road, in St. Michel Barbados, to Rihanna Drive. Ms Robyn Rihanna Fenty grew up in Westbury New Road until the age of 16, when she left to pursue her music career. Her yellow and orange family house is now became a tourist attraction.
On the road, a plaque featuring the singer includes her history and personal words:
“Welcome to Rihanna Drive…My home. My whole life was shaped on this very road. I was just a little island girl riding bikes, running around barefoot and flying kites in the cemetery, but had BIG dreams. Dreams that were born and realised right here.”
