What is the connection between Adrian Elcock, Chairman of the Barbados Tourism Authority (BTA) and Rihanna?

Does it have anything to do with her being given a 3 year contract to market Barbados the terms of which have not been made public?

Does this connection have anything to do with the big Rihanna concert here 2 years ago?

Does it have anything to do with her concert here later this year?

Is this why we cannot get financial results for the concert 2 years ago which we taxpayers paid for… Is there what the Trinidadians call “bobol” going on at the BTA with Chairman Adrian Elcock in place?

Why after all this Rihanna expenditure and promotion  is St. Lucia still receiving more visitors than Barbados for 2013 so far.

Read the news story in the Barbados Today which names Adrain Elcock as agent for Rihanna :

  1. @Bad John: do you know how many of RiRi’s songs are originals. being written by herself? Check. Rob Marley was Jamaican, not Bajan. Why then can’t you throw all your support behind Rihanna? You are not Jamaican, however you talk, however you try to emulate them, however much you admire thme you will never be Jamaican. but like Rihanna, you will always be Bajan. Stop being so low in your self esteem.


  2. Rihanna should have just buried her grandma in the US, it would have saved her in this case hundreds of thousands, she would do well to watch out for the bajan lawyers she could very well end up spending millions.

    Piece…………………Al was always sleazy, he knows no other way.

    I see nothing wrong with Rhianna taking on the responsibility of her grandmother’s Homegoing. I’m sure the grandmother’s children and husband wouldn’t have objected to a kind deed from a relative, whether it was Rhianna or not.

    We learn from our mistakes. Maybe in all this, there is a lesson for Rhianna – man to man is so unjust, it’s not that easy to know who to trust.

    “.. but like Rihanna, you will always be Bajan. Stop being so low in your self esteem.”

    Why are you attacking Bad John like a true bad john yourself from St. Elizabeth Village? Because Bad John refuses to meekly and subserviently succumb and subscribe to your jingoistic constant rallying call to support any thing Bajan even if immorally bad, stupidly misplaced and arrant nonsense?

    If a Bajan or Barbados does something good and outstanding by all means support them or be proud and show your national colours. But not when it comes to doing crap or downright nonsense.
    Just to amplify the stupidity of your “arroignorant” extreme position of blind loyalty and nonsensical backing of mediocrity like the current DLP administration we are prepared to say that should this stupid government- by the widest stretch of the imagination- should decide to send troops to invade St. Lucia because of its superior performance in tourism to the detriment of Barbados you Alvin Cummins the Great Bajan Canute would want us to support and rally behind such an act of aggression against a fellow Caribbean State.

    However, not this miller here; over his dead body would the miller subscribe to that brand of blindly stupidity passing for national loyalty. But you should never say die or dead.
    Just look how the PM is going to disloyally renege on his fatal commitment to ensuring Bajans have free access to tertiary education at the UWI.

    What do you have to say about this BIG Lie told to the people, Mr. Alvin ‘Bojangles” Cummins whose doglike loyalty to the DLP incompetent mediocrity surpasses the real Mr. Bojangles?


  5. @Miller
    Are you saying to Barbadians that Rihanna does not deserve their loyalty and support? Are you asying that she has achieved nothing? Name another Bajan that has Made Forbes’list.Rihanna is a world star with many plaudits th her name. Name another bajan persormer that has achieved as much in the entertainment and fashion world.And we are discussing Rihanna, how does the DLP the upcoming budget and the other things you mention get into the discussion. I have no hesitation in being jingoistic and proud of my support for my country and my people. I am a proud Bajan and will die a proud Bajan.And calling me names does not cut it. It runs of my back like water off a duck’s backDidn’t people like you rally behind Tom in the Illegal” invasion of Grenada? Read the revelations about Margaret thatchers objection to the invasion, that still went ahead over her objections direct to Ronald Regan. Who then is the biggest traitor to the cause of Barbados/ That was a real case not a hypothetical one like you postulate.


  6. @Miller
    If a Bajan or Barbados does something good and outstanding by all means support them or be proud and show your national colours. But not when it comes to doing crap or downright nonsense. Are you saying that.what Rihanna has achieved is not worthy of support and being proud/ You are pathetic. You are too wrapped up in one sided politics.

    Ask David of BU who is the biggest defender and promoter of Rihanna on this blog.
    When Rihanna was just a new kid on the block with her “genuine” Bajan accent appearing on the international stage for the first time in her “specially designed” dress at the UK Music awards in 2005 and shouting out Barbados where were you, rubber face, certainly not in attendance?

    “Commissioner of the Royal St. Lucia Police Force Vernon Francois says lies and rumors originating from the senior ranks of the Force are a great concern and an issue that needs to be addressed.

    Francois addressing the marine unit during a routine ceremony last week spoke about the difficult period now facing the organization given the many rumors surrounding alienation by US authorities.

    But in an interesting twist the Government of Saint Lucia says it will be addressing the issue of the decision by the United States to “disallow officers of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force from participating in several training programmes arranged or financed by the United States.”

    The statement is significant given that for quite some time the police and even ministers had denied that such action had been taken by the US.

    The Prime Minister’s Press Secretary says the issues are serious and complex. Consequently, the Prime Minister, will, on a date to be announced early next week, issue a statement to explain and address the issues of concern and in particular, the reasons for the actions of the United States against officers of the Royal Saint Lucia Police Force.

    However, Police Commissioner Francois says he has no information to the contrary that the travel issue with the US was anything other than an administrative matter.

    The commissioner says he has advised his men to keep their heads up in light of the present controversy. He says the many rumors surrounding senior members of the force are however taking their toll.”

    Tourists are being encourage to visit St. Lucia where the local Police can not be trusted.
    I hope while in St. Lucia that they live long enough to enjoy their visit.


  9. Carson………………now tell us is if any DLP ministers are persona non grata from entering the US.

    ADRIAN claims that St. Lucia is attracting more AMERICAN Tourists than Barbados.

    Yet we are seeing that the Government of the American people has serious concerns of an organization that is supposed to be a pillar of the St. Lucian nation, namely the Police of St. Lucia.

    The American authorities are accusing it of Drug trafficking, money laundering and extra judicial killings. Preventing senior officers from travelling to the United States.

    How long will it be before the American Government impose a travel ban to St. Lucia, ADRIAN?

    However I still expect you to continue your cherry picking of information about St. Lucia!

  12. @Miller
    I may not have been able to be there in person but I have supported her from the beginning and continually after. Know why, she is a “Cawmerian, she has talent, she is Bajan.”. Were you there?


  13. You can walk into most rum shops in BARBADOS and purchase four banks beers for $ 10.00 but if you go into Sandy Lane Hotel one banks beer cost more than four at the rum shop. Rihanna wanted executive treatment, a/c tents,thousands of expensive flowers, a fleet of limos, the full works therefore she must pay for it. It also shows poor business arrangement by both the funeral parlor and Rihanna’s management team, all that should have been settled before he was even given the body. Maybe Rihanna needs better advisors


  14. @Alvin

    Why is it so difficult for you to understand that Rihanna cannot be compared to Marley and the reggae movement in Jamaica which is steeped in their culture? Rihanna sings pop and s popular as a result and all the power to her, we support her but you need to separate the arguments.

    “Were you there?”

    There, and upfront supporting her, not as a johnny-come-lately like you.

    True blooded Cawmerians don’t display such lack of comprehension and reasoning skills.
    But there are always deviants from the norm and you form the classic case in trying to wave your “Cawmerian” credentials in intelligent people’s faces.
    Just because you accidentally or by a fluke of financial luck of your parents attended that institution does not automatically endow you with the right to claim intelligence and proper inculcation with the values bathed in the ethos of that hallowed institution which prepares the talented attendees for life’s ‘pros and cons’.

    Do you want us here on BU to view you the same way Bush Tea and fellow ‘Cawmerian’ Caswell see gays, as a happy-go-luck deviant from the norm of intellectual substance?

    Now are you going to take your place in the queue of intelligence and await your turn to see if you are really qualified to graduate from that University of Life you claim you attended?
    The miller is prepared to be your guide and mentor and would even be your books’ editor. LOL!!!


  16. The United States support their many greats in music: Aretha Franklin, Natalie Cole, Gladys Knight,Vanessa Williams, Kenny G, George Benson, Stevie Wonder, Barry White, Luther Vandross, Patti LaBelle, Beyonce, Miriah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, Usher, Kenny Rogers, Christina Aguilara, Gwen Stafani, Kelly Clarkston, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, the very young and talented Rachel Crow, bad girl, Whitney Houston and bad boy Michael Jackson, etc.The British supprt their many greats: Adele, Elton John, George Michael, Annie Lennox, Eric Clapton, Amy Winehouse, etc.Canada supports their many greats: Celine Dion, Diane Krail, Shania Twain, Bryan Adams, Justin Bieber, etc. Jamaica, of course, support Bob Marley. So there is nothing wrong with Barbados supporting bad girl Rihanna, she rightfully belongs to Barbados and the ONLY BEST they have.

    Beyond music, there are other individuals that shines the light on their country. In Jamaica, it’s Marcus Garvey, and Olympian Gold Metal Winner, Usain Bolt and actress Sheryl Lee Ralph but in Barbados its only that nut case Rihanna.


  17. @ june boy | August 12, 2013 at 9:16 AM |

    That was precisely what i was thinking, it was not so much that burying one’s dear ones could be done inexpensively, after all the indians use a simple inexpensive pine box, and they have money, but it was the fact that she was paying for “ambience”

    Inasmuch as she is “all that” and has world renown of sorts, i think that someone needs to advise her that she is not juxtaposing an overcosted bill for the repairs of her Jeep by an enthusiastic mechanic.

    This after all is her purportedly dear grandmother whom she is supposed to love.

    Consider this a lesson in “getting an invoice for services to be rendered BEFORE they are rendered”, pay the bill and move on.

    That is the thing about youth, they do not know which battles to fight.

    Here she has estranged all of the old bembers like us with one foot in the grave who, while we acknowledge her songstress skills now are left with a taste of bile in our mouth when we weigh the intangible currency of “giri”( japanese for duty) to your family against the piddling litigation that she and her agent seem headed for.

    I am sure that Adrian Elcock is probably stroking her both ways, trying to be her so called agent and also telling D&W to bump up the cost of the funeral to this specific price. That is Adrian Elcock’s style, this is the nature of the man

    Rihanna you would be wise to leave this one alone and ascribe it to learning about people.

    Some years ago I accompanied a friend into a high end watch store in the Heart of Piccadilly, London. This is over 50 years ago, so it was not “the madam”

    My friend and I saw a beautiful watch and she enquired what was its cost, the clerk haughtily replied “ma’am, if you need to know the price of that item, you should not be in this store” Indeed another Oprah Winfrey moment but the point underscores the “differential” that certain brand names attract.

    Rihanna would have hurt Downes and Wilson more, to have paid the bill and thereafter run a twitter campaign related to their practices and what she perceived to be inflated costs.

    There is more than one way to skin a cat.

    There are advisors and then there are “advisors”.

    Your image is everything, after all the glitter has gone my crooning diva, one day you will be relegated to the shadows, like Madonna, Diana Ross, Aretha Franklyn, Tina Turner, Billy Holiday and all you will have is the sentiment that “she, Robyn Fenty, is a lady” a sentiment that is fueled by this seminal moment of paying a bill for a grandmother that you purportedly love.

    But then again, forgive the ramlings of an ole fart, soon to be fodder like your grandmother

    I am still waiting for you to tell me why Barbados’ commissioner of police was fired by the government, governor general or whomever?


  19. Piece…….you are correct, with wisdom comes knowing when to choose your battles, litigation could very well end up costing her more with lawyers (liars) lining up to stoke the fires between them in a back and forth con game for another 5 years, before she knows it Rihanna would be out a good 5 to 10 million dollars by trying to avoid paying this current amount, she should just chalk this up to experience before she really gets a soaking in Barbados, she has to bear in mind that her gravy train is not indefinite and she will need her money going forward.

    Such play friends of yours would make the debate too puerile for intellectual entertainment.

    I tell you what. Just send your imaginary friend like the “Q” from Star Trek– the Next Generation on a long galactic journey to Andromeda. That should keep him engaged for a few light years in sorting out the problems other life forms are experiencing.
    Maybe he would have a long drawn out haggle over a business deal between the Ferengi and the logical Vulcans with the violently combative Klingon Warrior Worf as his aide-de-camp.


  35. Miller……….when i heard him say it, i thought the same thing…for the few countries i have traveled in the last 6 months there definitely is a change in behavior, makes one wonder if it’s stress related due to financial uncertainties or something else, but if you check crime rates in the major cities and metropolis’, you see some off the wall happens that are definitely not the norm and i am accustomed to seeing some weird things, just check it out.


  36. @Miller,
    My Cawmere and other dredentials, credentials are authentic, and I dun wid dat. Rihanna is also genuine an I dun wid dat also. Some time ago I spoke about a “prophet being sithout honour, save in his own country” watch how so many of you have treated Rihanna from the begining. When she won her first Grammy so many of you were sceptical and called it a fluke, she now has five Grammys, and so many others.Rihanna is right to fight for what she feels is a rip-off, if she didn’t have spunk the people who “stole” her image and placed it on t shirst would have done it with impunity. She sued them and won. Just because she is from Barbados; secifically Westbury road, does not mean she is an idiot.And I dun wid dat too.

    Rihanna is now referred to by you as a “nutcase”?….Nuff said. I am sorry for people like you and Miller. I agree with you though…she should never have given money to the
    children’s ward. she should never have set up her
    fpoundation, she should never have given money to the Cancer institute on behalf of her grandmother. Barbados does not deserve her, that is why those who have done great things; and there are many Bajans who have achieved much in this world in all apheres, hesitate to credit their country. Edward Kamau Brathwaite is a great Barbadian Poet, I guess you will denigrate him also.. probably reer to him also as a nut-case. Sir Garfield…does he fall into that category also?and many others too.

Barbados is the safest island in the Caribbean by a long way. You quoting B.C Pires a born jackass. By the way what’s become of the pervert?

  42. @ David, Bush Tea, Watching, Simple Simon & Miller

    Barbados is chioatic. It’s a mess down there. The S&P and Moody’s says so but here is ironclad proof: George Payne v Edmund Kinkinson, the Graeme Hall Nature Santuary mess, those Archcot Britton Hill Deaths (2007) also Illegal Wire Tapping/Darwin Dottin. The United Nations says there is lots of theft down there. That old woman Violet Beckles proved this as did Owen Arthur, David Thompson and Leroy Parris. The Barbados economy in 2012 had NO GROWTH, and the Central Bank predicts hardly any increased economic activity in the country this year. Clyde Mascoll and Dale Marshall, additionally says country is broke “all in the red”.

    Barbados relies on few things to survive, mainly tourism and that “tourism” is NOW breathing on life support. Detroit, Michigan (United States) even in its condition is breathing. Barbados is not doing that breathing. Detroit at moment is ill, extremely. It is being treated and will fully recover, Barbados, probably not. Detroit is home of the American Automakers (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler). Detroit is vital to the United States and likewise the American Auto Industry. Detroit on July 18th filed bankrupcy but the 299 million dollar cobo hall renovation project for the annual North American International Auto Show is still going forward, likewise the new 400.00 million arena for the Detroit Red Wings (Hockey). Why, tell me why are Barbados people looking at Detroit and not Barbados.

    It’s no secret that Barbados over the years have stepped down several steps. It is no longer a desired destination. The flying fish has even moved elsewhere. What can you do? Just grit your teeth and take it. No place is utopia but damn Barbados is far from it. It’s true, you know it., but this North American, BA, MA I guess has to tell you..

  44. Alvin…………it’s good Rihanna is donating to Barbados, it will keep Uncle Sam off her back, those are tax write offs, Uncle Sam is merciless…….i am happy to see her do that for both reasons.

    Rihanna cannot afford to be dropped from RocNation, when you get dropped from a label that powerful, you become a pariah in the US music industry. It is up to her.
