Rihanna, who was born in St. Michael and raised in Bridgetown, thanked the PM for the honor:
“This is a day that I will never, ever forget. It’s also a day that I never saw coming. I have traveled the world and received several awards and recognitions, but nothing, nothing compares to being recognized in the soil that you grew in.”
