Still living it up in her native land, Rihanna joined her family and friends for a day on off the shore of Barbados.
Wearing a colorful one-piece swimsuit, the "What's My Name" singer cruised the crystal clear waters before setting anchor and hopping off ship to do a little wave running in the island locale.
With the sun setting on the tropical destination, Rihanna continued with her water-bound festivities into the nighttime - as she sipped on a beverage while wading in the Caribbean waters.
The leisurely afternoon comes after RiRi treated her hometown supporters to an energetic performance the previous night - with video footage of the 23-year-old rockin' out with her song "So Hard" available above.
On a side note, it was recently announced that Rihanna has collaborated with coconut water giant Vita Coco to launch a new flavor called Vita Coco Tropical Fruit - which is described as an "all-natural, luscious blend of coconut water, pink guava, orange, red dragon fruit and pineapple."
Talking about the thirst-quenching offering in a statement, the superstar singer said, “I grew up in Barbados – so when Vita Coco approached me to help develop a new flavor, I thought we should combine the natural coconut water with fresh tropical fruits – two of my favorite things. It tastes so delicious and reminds me of home!"
Most people already know that Rihanna does not really like to talk about Chris Brown’s assault on her. However, just recently she came clean about it and said that it was a wake up call. Of course, it was not just a wake up call for her, but to young teen girls all over the country.
Rihanna went on to say that the assault that she suffered from her former boyfriend, Chris Brown was a big incident for her. Brown had attacked the singer shortly before the Grammy Awards in February of 2009. He later pleaded guilty to the assault and was sentence to five years of probation.
In a recent interview, Rihanna said that the incident was very traumatic for her. However, it did force her to adopt a new approach of life, which was a good thing. She said that God has a crazy way of working things out. Sometimes when things happens, people feel like they did not deserve it, or they ask what they did to deserve it.
Rihanna said that she needed a turning point. That is what she thinks God was giving her. Another important thing that came out of the assault was Rihanna standing up against Chris Brown. Young girls around the country, who look up to Rihanna, saw that they did not have to put up with abusive boyfriends.
Rihanna is due to release her new album called Loud next month. The record includes collaborations with Eminem and Drake.
