Ronald Fenty died after a brief disease, according to Starcom Network News, a Rihanna Native Barbados Radio Station.
The official cause and the exact date of death have not yet been revealed. The sources told him at the exit that he was surrounded by a family at the time of his death.
Rihanna, who currently waits for her third child with a $ Ap Rocky, had a complicated relationship with her father over the years. The two were separated by a period before finally making peace.
After Rihanna (born Robyn Rihanna Fenty) was assaulted by the then boyfriend Chris Brown in 2009, Fenty spoke publicly about the incident without her consent. In a 2011 interview with Vogue, the singer expressed his disappointment.
She said at that time: “You grow with your father, you know him, you are part of him, for the good of goodness!
In a 2012 interview with Oprah, Rihanna said she had repaired her relationship with her father, whom she had described as violent when she grows up. However, in 2019, he filed a lawsuit against him and his commercial partner, Moses Perkins, accusing them of trying to benefit from his name by launching a company called Fenty Entertainment.
She claimed that they cheated investors by falsely stating that she was involved in the company. Rihanna dropped the lawsuit shortly before he went to trial in 2021.
Fenty shared three children, Rihanna, Rajad and Rorrey, with his ex -wife, Monica Braithwaite. The couple divorced in 2002. The family was raised in Bridgetown, Barbados, where Rihanna lived until she moved to the United States at age 16. He also had three children of previous relationships: the daughters Samantha and Kandy, and his son Jamie, reports People.
