Rihanna Gets Some Good Old Caribbean Hate

Bwoy it look like no matter what, Caribbean people just really love to hate still and now Rihanna is the newest victim.

According to a reader of the local paper, she’s just tired of hearing about Rihanna’s latest exploits in the paper…

I AM TIRED of opening my newspaper to find Rihanna headlines; Rihanna this and Rihanna that. Give it a rest!

People talking about her putting Barbados on the map is nonsense. Barbados was well on the map before she came along; and will be when she is gone.

I read a comment written in the DAILY NATION, November 20, about giving her a big welcome each time she comes home. I do not believe she gives her schedules to anyone here, anyway. She comes and goes when she pleases.

All her achievements are hers and I have not seen her do anything spectacular. Where was her donation back in September for the Brittons Hill tragedy?

I have nothing against the young woman. More power to her.

But when sensible Barbadians write what to my mind is rubbish in the paper, I feel the need to comment.

Jah know rasta, even when we’re doing great as a people, somebody comes to tear us down.

I know Rihanna, is a bit over saturated in the media, but still, come on, is the bun a fire thing really necessary.

What’s your take?!
