Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty, has reportedly passed away at 70 in Los Angeles, following a brief illness.

This loss comes as Rihanna is expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky, a pregnancy revealed at the 2025 MET Gala.

According to reports, Ronald Fenty passed away on May 31, 2025, in Los Angeles, with Rihanna including her brother, Rajad Fenty, reportedly present at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center around the time of his passing.

However, Rihanna or her management team remain silent amid the swirling reports.

It’s worth noting that Rihanna’s relationship with her father was marked by periods of estrangement and public disputes, including a 2019 lawsuit over unauthorized use of her name and likeness.
