Ronald Fenty, the father of Rihanna, has died … TMZ has learned.
A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ … Ronald died in Los Angeles after battling an illness.
On Wednesday, Rihanna’s brother, Rajad Fenty, was photographed arriving at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. We’re told Rihanna was also in the car, although she’s not visible in the photo.
Rihanna and Ronald had a rocky relationship through the years … the two were estranged for a long period of time before eventually reconciling.
Back in February 2023, Ronald told TMZ he was over the moon about his daughter and A$AP Rocky expecting another child together, and was eager to be a part of the baby’s life.
Ronald shared 3 children with his ex-wife, Monica Braithwaite — Rihanna, Rajad and Rorrey. The couple split in 2002, right as Rihanna’s career was starting to take off.
He was 70.
RIP
