Rihanna's dad, Ronald Fenty, has passed away at the age of 70. According to Starcom Network, which was first to report the news, Ronald Fenty died in Los Angeles following short illness. The family has not revealed his exact cause of death.
Sources told the outlet, which is based in Rihanna's home country of Barbados, that Fenty's family was with him around the time of his death.
In photos obtained by TMZ, Rihanna's brother, Rajad Fenty, could be seen arriving at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on May 28. The outlet reported that the singer was also in the vehicle.
Representatives for Rihanna did not immediately respond to request for comment on Saturday, May 31.
Rihanna, who is currently pregnant and expecting her third baby, was born to Fenty and mother Monica Braithwaite in February 1988. (The star is already a mom to sons Rza, 2, and Riot, 1, with A$AP Rocky.)
Along with Rihanna and Rajad, Fenty and Braithwaite were also parents to Rorrey. Rihanna also has three half-siblings from her father’s previous relationships: sisters Samantha and Kandy, plus brother Jamie.
