Ronald Fenty, the father of internationally renowned singer Rihanna, has passed away at the age of 70. Family sources confirmed that he passed away in Los Angeles after struggling with an undisclosed illness. On Wednesday, his son Rajad Fenty was seen arriving at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where Ronald was being treated. Although Rihanna was not captured in the photos, she was confirmed to be present as well.
Ronald and Rihanna had a strained relationship for many years, but later made peace. In early 2023, Ronald publicly shared his joy when he learned that Rihanna and her partner, A$AP Rocky, were expecting another child. He had looked forward to being a part of his grandchild’s life.
Ronald Fenty was the father of three children—Rihanna, Rajad, and Rorrey—whom he had with his former wife, Monica Braithwaite. The couple’s marriage ended in 2002, around the time Rihanna’s career began gaining attention.
