The ‘Work’ singer, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, was born and raised in Barbados. It was there that her talents were discovered as a teen.
On Tuesday, the Caribbean island’s government announced that they plan to “fully leave” their “colonial past behind”, meaning they would remove the 94-year-old British monarch as their head of state and dissociate them from their previous coloniser.

Following the announcement, the Savage X Fenty founder’s fans “nominated” Rihanna, 32, to replace the Queen.
“It’s time for Barbados to remove Queen Elizabeth as Head of State, in favour of Queen Robyn Rihanna,” one fan requested.
Another demanded, “Replace her with Rihanna, you cowards!”

“Barbados should make Rihanna their new head of state,” a fan wrote, adding: “No but really good on them separating themselves from the queen. I’d love to see more island nations follow suit.”
One fan called the replacement of Queen Elizabeth II an “important first step to installing Rihanna as the God Empress of Barbados”.

“Finally. Everybody knows Rihanna is the true sovereign of Barbados,” another fan declared.
One fan added: “I know I’m not from Barbados, so my opinion doesn’t really count, but I’d like to nominate @rihanna as Barbadian Head of State.”
Other fans joked that if Rihanna were to become the head of state in Barbados that they would never get her highly-anticipated ninth studio album.
“Great now watch Rihanna become president of Barbados and adios R9,” one fan said.
Another added: “I feel like Rihanna will become Prime Minister of Barbados before dropping that album.”
