The Information Office of the Government of Barbados recently shared the news that Rihanna will be appointed Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador. According to her new position, the singer of "Diamonds" will be responsible for "promoting education, tourism and investment for the island."

"Rihanna has a deep love for this country, and this is reflected in her philanthropy, especially in the areas of health and education," – said Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley in a statement. "She also shows her patriotism in the way she returns to this country and continues to treasure the island as her home."
