Rihanna Keeps Mum As News Of Dad’s Death Breaks

Barbadian superstar Rihanna is reportedly mourning the death of her Dad, Ronald Fenty, who passed away at the age of 70 in Los Angeles following a brief illness.

According to multiple reports, Fenty died on May 31, 2025, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where Rihanna and her younger brother, Rajad Fenty, were said to be present around the time of their Dad’s passing. The news comes at a sensitive time for the global music icon, who recently revealed she was expecting her third child with rapper A$AP Rocky during the 2025 Met Gala.

As of the time of this report, Rihanna and her management team have not issued any official statement regarding the loss.

Ronald Fenty, a Barbadian of Guyanese descent, had a complicated relationship with his daughter. Over the years, their connection was marked by both tender family moments and periods of public conflict. In 2019, Rihanna filed a lawsuit against her father, accusing him of using her name and brand without permission to promote his entertainment company. The case was eventually dropped, but it highlighted the strain between them.

Despite past differences, reports suggest the Fenty family rallied in Ronald’s final moments. Tributes and condolences have begun to pour in from fans and well-wishers around the world, expressing sympathy for the singer during this emotionally challenging period.

Rihanna, who has been largely private about her personal life in recent years, is yet to address the reports.
