Rihanna is one generous gal.
Yeah, in her latest bid to honor her home nation of Barbados and the legacy of her grandparents, the singer donated $1.75 million worth of equipment to Barbados’ ‘Queen Elizabeth Hospital’.
Making the donation under the Clara Lionel Foundation, set up in honor of her grandparents- Clara and Lionel Braithwaite, she told E!:
“This was my way of giving back to Barbados, in a form of philanthropy, by assisting the QEH in its continued modernization program. “I believe that this will have a huge impact on the people of Barbados. This was all done to save lives or at least extend them.”

Wow! I already knew about this but i didn’t think that it would make the blogs because all blogs don’t like to do anything but tear Robyn Rihanna Fenty Down! Watch people say this a gimmick and blah blah but its not. And neither is the 1million+ that she just gave away.

I don’t believe this. I’m sorry. I don’t believe that they would do this and risk being subject to theft. I believe she donated a lot of equipment but not a million or dollars. She’s a liar.

Bullshit!! Do you know how much that would be in Barbados? That is a damn lie. I’d say she donated around half a million, but almost 2 million dollars in hospital equipment? Have a seat.

That’s very nice of her but I doubt it was 1.75 mill.

Wow, if it was someone else who gave such large and generous donation, most of you on here wouldn’t find it hard to believe or tear them down. You idiots calling it lies as if you were there physically and on hand to witness everything as it happened. Keep it up Riri , and may The LORD continue to bless you and your families. LORD have mercy and forgive all the naysayers who are against Rihanna.

A – It would be a lot easier for people to appreciate what she did/does if she didn’t act like such an obnoxious, stuck-up, trashy brat every day.
B – Do you REALLY think that was her idea? Like most celebrities, one of her “people” set this up. Parade over. Look at that quote, like this girl really knows words like “philanthropy” and “modernization.” She doesn’t even know the word “converse.”
Why do some of you defend her so much? What’s admirable? I mean, at this point are you really surprised to see people “tear her down?” She brings it on herself, and you all keep paying for it… haha!
