Los Angeles, USA — Ronald Fenty, father of global pop icon Rihanna, has passed away at the age of 70, following a brief illness. The sad news comes from close family sources, who confirmed that he died in Los Angeles after battling an undisclosed health condition.
On Wednesday, Ronald’s younger son, Rajad Fenty, was seen arriving at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Although Rihanna was not captured by photographers, insiders confirmed her presence at the hospital to be by her father’s side.
Fenty and Rihanna shared a complicated history, marked by years of estrangement before eventually reconciling. Despite their rocky past, their relationship appeared to have mended in recent years.
Back in February 2023, Ronald expressed excitement over the news of Rihanna expecting another child with her partner, A$AP Rocky, saying he looked forward to being an active part of the baby’s life.
Ronald Fenty had three children — Rihanna, Rajad, and Rorrey — with his former wife Monica Braithwaite. The couple went their separate ways in 2002, shortly before Rihanna’s rise to international stardom. Funeral details are yet to be announced.
