Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty, has died, with reports confirming that family members, including her brother Rajad Fenty, were by his side at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles during his final moments.
The news comes shortly after confirmation that Rihanna is expecting her third child with partner A$AP Rocky.
Though Rihanna had a strained relationship with her father—marked by legal disputes and public fallouts—they reportedly reconciled in recent years. Fenty had previously expressed pride in her journey into motherhood.
He is survived by several children, including Rihanna, Rajad, Rorrey, Samantha, Kandy, and Jamie.
