Rihanna is set to be honoured with a national holiday in her home country of Barbados.
The
Umbrella singer is thrilled after discovering the Caribbean island will declare today 'Rihanna Day'.
A source said: "She's really flattered. She can't believe she now has her own national day, it's such an honour."
Rihanna, who turned 20 yesterday, will fly out to Barbados to accept the honour and perform a free concert.
She will be accompanied on the trip by rumoured boyfriend Chris Brown.
Although the pair have denied dating, Chris helped Rihanna celebrate her birthday early last week along with friends, including Kanye West and actor Wilmer Valderrama, at Los Angeles' Les Deux nightclub.
The evening featured a spontaneous food fight among the guests followed by Chris singing an
a cappella version of
Happy Birthday to Rihanna.
Onlookers at the bash said the pair were "cuddling and acting very cosy all night".
The couple also attended the Grammys together earlier this month and stocked up on goody bags.
