NationNews - Barbados: "CONTROVERSY reared its ugly head yesterday as Barbados celebrated the achievements of pop star Rihanna with an Opposition MP querying Government’s choice of the exclusive, upscale Apes Hill, rather than any of the other new developments, like Bushy Park, to gift her a house spot.
But St George North MP Gline Clarke was told his question showed he had a “snobbish attitude”.
Minister of Housing and Lands Michael Lashley, who introduced the resolution in the House of Assembly to vest 2 635 square metres of land at Apes Hill, St James in the name of the international star – Robyn Rihanna Fenty – also chided Clarke for his “audacity” and asked whether the exclusive community was “too good” for her.
