Although the relationship between Rihanna and her father has been marked by ups and downs and controversies in the past, people close to the family say that the singer was present in her last moments, accompanying him with other loved ones. A gesture that, according to US media, reflects the strength of family ties above former conflicts.
The first signs about Ronald Fenty’s critical state emerged on May 28, when Rajad Fenty, the artist’s brother, was seen entering the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Although it was not captured by the cameras, TMZ reported that Rihanna was also in the vehicle, which fed speculation about a family emergency.
The Fenty family plans to pay tribute in California in the next few days.
