Bajan pop star Rihanna is set to perform a private concert in Barbados on New Year’s Eve, where the audience will include Simon Cowell. This is AWESOME! The government of Barbados has invested a lot of money in Rihanna as an Ambassador and it seems to be paying off! The government reportedly paid Rihanna 1.25 million (YAOW! that’s almost $2MM USD!!!) to perform at Barbados’ Cropover Carnival in August. Not that I care about Simon Cowell, but I care about the attention it brings to Barbados which in turn means tourism dollars which in turn means a stimulated economy which means people working! Love dat!!!
Riri will headline the party for the UK’s Global Radio boss Ashley Talbot at the luxurious Sandy Lane hotel, and the 52-year-old music mogul is expected to be in attendance.
Boyband The Wanted are also expected to perform. A source told British newspaper the Daily Star: “
“Everyone is very excited to hear that she’ll be back again so soon and plenty of the islanders are hoping to catch a glimpse of her in town, even if they can’t get into the party.”
