The complicated relationship between Rihanna and his late father

Despite the conflicts, Rihanna showed concern for her father’s health. In 2020, when Ronald contracted COVID-19, she sent him a fan and supported him during his recovery.
In 2022, he expressed his joy when he learned his daughter’s pregnancy, describing her as “a beautiful person inside and out.”
Ronald Fenty was, in the life of Rihanna, a father figure marked by significant errors, but also a man who, over time, sought to repair the broken ties with his daughter.
