One of the Caribbean’s biggest stars has become the latest celebrity to visit Cuba.

The native of Barbados visited the island at the end of last week on what was reportedly a surprise visit.

Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, engaged in a photo and video shoot on the island, along with a series of stops for food and drink.

It’s likely that the shoot was for the singer’s newest music video.
