Rihanna’s Father, Ronald Fenty, Dies at 70.

Rihanna's Father, Ronald Fenty, Dies at 70.

Music icon and entrepreneur Rihanna is mourning the death of her father, Ronald Fenty, who passed away at a medical facility in Los Angeles on Saturday morning at the age of 70. The cause of death was not immediately disclosed, though reports suggest he died after a short illness. News of his passing was confirmed by Starcom Network News, a radio station in Barbados, Rihanna’s home country.

Ronald Fenty spent his final days at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where Rihanna’s brother, Rajad Fenty, was photographed visiting on Wednesday, May 28. It is believed that Rihanna was with her brother during this visit, and the family was by his side at the time of his death.

Fenty was married to Monica Braithwaite, Rihanna’s mother, and they lived in Bridgetown, Barbados, where they raised their family. Rihanna, born in 1988, was still a minor when her parents separated. Fenty and Braithwaite officially divorced in 2002 when Rihanna was 14 years old. Besides Rihanna and Rajad, Fenty and Braithwaite also had a son named Rorrey. Ronald Fenty had three other children Samantha, Kandy, and Jamie from previous relationships.

Rihanna, who left Barbados at 16 to pursue her career, has spoken candidly about her parents’ tumultuous marriage. In a past interview, she mentioned that their union was marked by violence and physical abuse, which likely contributed to their divorce. In 2009, she described her childhood home life as “abusive” and alleged multiple incidents of domestic violence.

Despite these challenges, Rihanna expressed a complex but ultimately forgiving view of her father. In a 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey, she stated, “He taught me everything, and as awful as he was to my mom, at times, it didn’t compare to how great he was as a father. I had to come to terms with that, and I was able to close that gap with him.” Ronald Fenty embraced forgiveness and reconciled with his daughter after years of estrangement, supporting her during significant moments as she built her Fenty brand and became a global icon.
