Ronald Fentyfather of the renowned singer and businesswoman Rihanna, He died at 70 years after a brief illness, People magazine reported. The exact cause of his death has not been revealed.
The TMZ portal shared images of Rihanna’s younger brother, Rajad Fenty, arriving at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on May 28. According to the same medium, the Barbadense artist was in a vehicle outside the hospital. So far, neither Rihanna nor their representatives have issued public statements in this regard.
The relationship between Rihanna and her father was far from being simple. Although in recent years they would have approached again, the singer talked openly on several occasions about the conflicts that marked her childhood.
Ronald Fenty battled with addiction problems and, according to the artist, exercised abuse against her mother, Monica Braithwaite. Rihanna grew up in Bridgetown, Barbados, and lived there until she was 16. His parents officially divorced in 2002.
Rihanna’s father died
One of the most tense moments between the two occurred after the aggression that Rihanna suffered in 2009 by her then partner, singer Chris Brown. Ronald Fenty offered statements to the media without the consent of his daughter, which was harshly criticized by the artist.
In an interview with Vogue, he expressed his bewilderment: “You grow with your father, you know him, you are part of him … and then he does something so strange that I can’t even start understanding him.”
Years later, in 2019, Rihanna filed a lawsuit against her fatheraccusing him of using the name of his brand, Fenty Entertainment, to close agreements without his authorization, including an alleged tour in Latin America.
“Although Mr. Fenty is Rihanna’s father, he does not have and has never had the authority to act in his name,” said a statement from his legal team.
Rihanna, who is currently pregnant with her third child with the rapper to $ Ap Rocky, has opted for silence while going through this personal moment. Despite past tensions, the loss of a father is always a deep fact, and the world remains attentive to any word of the star of ‘diamonds’.
