American billionaire popstar Rihana has finally opened up on her African origin.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t know where in Africa
The music star hails from Barbados, though, from where she migrated to America to launch her music career.
Her latest revelation was based on what her mum told her.
In a recent interview, Rihana said her mother told her she is Igbo.
“My mom told me that I am originally an Igbo woman. Igbo is a tribe in Africa.”
African American especially those of Nigerian descent refer to their fatherland, which they don’t know where it is, as Africa.
Except for Igbo in Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, and Cameroon, the tribe is predominantly Nigerian.

Who told you that there exist Igbo tribe in Bukinafaso & Ivory coast?. You’re hatred for Igbo’s is legendary. “Rihana traces her root to Igbo’s outside Nigeria.”This is the most callous of it all.

Barbadians are Igbo by root. They are the descendants of Igbo slaves
