Ronald Fenty, the father of global music icon Rihanna, has passed away at the age of 70. Fenty died in Los Angeles following a battle with an undisclosed illness. On Wednesday, Rihanna’s younger brother, Rajad Fenty, was seen arriving at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Rihanna was also present, though not visible in the photograph.
Ronald and Rihanna shared a complicated relationship over the years. The two were estranged for an extended period but eventually reconciled. In February 2023, Ronald expressed his excitement about Rihanna and her partner, A$AP Rocky, expecting another child. He had shared his eagerness to be part of the baby’s life.
Ronald Fenty had three children, Rihanna, Rajad, and Rorrey with his ex wife, Monica Braithwaite. The couple seperated in 2002, around the time Rihanna’s music career began to rise.
