Suggest to add "Bajan" to describe Rhianna's nationality. Bajan is the self-titled name for people from Barbados and the Caribbean and it would be respectful to her cultural heritage to add this. The edit would be: "Robyn Rihanna Fenty (/riˈænə/ ⓘ ree-AN-ə;[2][3][n 1] born February 20, 1988) is a Barbadian (Bajan) singer, businesswoman, and actress. 2601:643:C101:47B0:382A:4129:414F:14D1 ( talk) 19:51, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
