Star Power
Rihanna
All the way from
Barbados she made
music in the sun,
relating to a girl like
me. But then she
started growing up,
she became a good girl
gone bad to the point
of being rated R. From
the darkness, to her
loud red hair and she
has proved that she
can talk that talk with
the success she has
achieved. And she is
definitely
unapologetic about it.7
albums, in 7 years, and
268 awards under her
belt including 7
AMAs,6 Grammy
awards and having
won ‘The Video Of
The Year’ at the 2012
MTV Video Music
Awards with ‘We
found love’ featuring
Calvin
Harris, this Bajan beauty is
proving her worth as a star.

grandmother, Rebelle and

Micheal, Barbados, but by

hailing from the South
American country of Guyana.
She is also part Irish.
Rihanna is the oldest sibling in
her family with two younger
brothers Rorrey and Rajad
Fenty, and two half-sisters and

She began singing at the age 7,

sound like Destiny’s Child?
