In 2017, the line between politics and entertainment became more blurred than ever before. For starters, a reality TV star is the president (and another reality TV star was — until quite recently — working as a White House correspondent). Countless celebrities have shared their own views on the current political climate, and in some cases they’ve even stepped in to help when they didn’t feel politicians were doing enough (see: Pitbull and Lin-Manuel Miranda helping with hurricane relief, Amal and George Clooney taking in a refugee, and Guy Fieri making food for people displaced by wildfires).
In today’s story, superstar Rihanna is once again sharing her political views. Unfortunately, there’s a tragic reason for her posts.
It seems like we’ve seen her everywhere this year. Whether she was slamming body-shamers or promoting her makeup line (one of the most inclusive collections ever), Rihanna has always been bold and unashamed to speak out.
Alleyne lived in Barbados.
The two cousins spent Christmas day celebrating together.
Barbados Today reports that around 7 pm, Alleyne was in the Barbadian parish of St. Michael when he was approached by an unidentified man.
Alleyne was then transported by private car to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. But unfortunately, he passed away later that night.
