Rihanna enjoyed a much-deserved day off from work, soaking up the sun back home in Barbados with her childhood pals. After flaunting her bikini body at the Kadooment Day Parade earlier in the week, the pop siren flashed more of her curves in a white bikini while splashing on the beach. She seemed to be having a blast, laughing with her girlfriends as they jet skied and rafted in the ocean.

There were rumors that RiRi was rekindling her romance with ex-boyfriend Negus Sealy after the two were photographed dirty dancing at the parade, but RiRi laughed off the reports. “Haaaaaa!!!! That’s funny, I grew up wit all these guys! Its all Fam’!!! EW! (In my Nicki Minaj voice),” she tweeted.
