Rihanna’s hometown is the Caribbean island of Barbados. Because of its unique placement in the ocean, the island of Barbados was left unaffected by the recent hurricanes. Unfortunately, some of the other islands in the Caribbean were not as lucky.
The island of Puerto Rico, most especially, was hit the worst. Rihanna and even Despacito artists Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee have posted video links explaining the extent of the damage from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.
In one video, a person describes the devastation that has been left by the natural disaster, and the lack of media attention on the crisis. Visibly breaking down in distress, she explains, “there’s no water, there’s no cash, the hospital is completely full, with no generators, so they have open windows. They cannot do surgeries, and I don’t see this in the media.”
