Ronald Fenty, father of Barbadense singer Rihanna, died this morning at 70 years in Los Angeles, after a “brief disease.”
The official cause of the death has not yet been confirmed.
As reported by the medium Starcom Networkbased in Barbados, his hometown, the deceased’s family was next to him at the time of his death. In addition, it was reported that on Wednesday, May 28, Rajad Fenty, the artist’s brother, was seen arriving at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center-where Ronald remained hospitalized-accompanied by Rihanna.
So far, the representatives of the interpreter have not issued official statements about the event.
Ronald Fenty was a visible figure in the public life of the artist, who on multiple occasions spoke about his complex relationship with him, marked by episodes of distancing, legal and subsequent reconciliation conflicts. In 2019, the singer filed a lawsuit against her father for the use of her last name in a company created without their authorization. Years later, the demand was withdrawn, which marked an approach between them.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Rihanna sent him a fan when he contracted the virus, a gesture that he publicly thanked.
