Rihanna reveals how her father’s death shaped a powerful parenting decision

BBG News

Rihanna lost her dad in May, when he died at age 70, but his legacy lives on through her.

Last Sunday, I took to social media to express how my dad, Ronald Fenty, has shaped the way I raise my kids. He’s been a profound influence on me as a parent.

She has three sons, RZA who is 3 years old, Riot who will turn 2 in August, and she is expecting another child with her long-term partner, A$AP Rocky.

Rihanna shared with Entertainment Tonight that she had often imagined the kind of grandparent her late parent would become for their descendants.

As a dedicated follower, I was primed for the journey of nurturing two lively boys. My adventurous spirit, my love for the outdoors, and my daring instincts – these are the qualities I aspire to instill in them. I long for them to explore nature freely. No tablet-bound infancy is what I envision for them.

The singer often attributed the best times of her childhood to her father, filled with moments of carefree outdoor play, without shoes.

The father and daughter had reconciled in recent years following a period of estrangement.

In 2019, the popular singer took legal action against her father, alleging that his talent agency, Fenty Management, was exploiting her commercial empire, which, like the agency, bears their shared surname.

Approximately two years after the lawsuit was initiated, she chose to withdraw it, and it appeared as though she had reconciled with him.

In the year 2022, as Rihanna and Rocky prepared for their first baby, Fenty expressed his joy about stepping into the role of grandfather.

He expressed his immense joy to Us Weekly, saying he was overjoyed for his daughter. He even leaped with excitement upon hearing the news. She’s long dreamt of becoming a mother, and he believes she will excel at it.

In addition to their well-known daughter, the deceased father had sons named Rajad and Rorrey with his former spouse, Monica Braithwaite, as well.

At the recent global debut of Rihanna’s movie Smurfs, it appeared that A$AP Rocky unintentionally disclosed the sex of their upcoming third child.

When asked, ‘Is that the girl you’ve been waiting for?’ he instantly replied, ‘It is, man, it is.’

As a devoted admirer, let me share an intriguing moment from the life of Harlem-born rap sensation, Rakim Mayers. One time, he proudly brandished a Smurfette doll and declared, “This is it, you feel me?” or simply “Right here.

On the night of the Met Gala, Rihanna revealed that she is expecting a child by showcasing her growing belly in three distinctive outfits, thus announcing her recent pregnancy.

I proudly donned a custom-designed dress reminiscent of a Marc Jacobs suit for the red carpet, embracing the latest trend in maternity fashion as a devoted follower.

Before the grand spectacle, the audience caught a sneak peek of the elegant celebrity adorned in a chic two-piece outfit. The ensemble consisted of a long-sleeved, high-necked top paired with a mini skirt, both in a soft shade of gray and falling just above the knees.

She adorned herself with a deep black bucket hat, a warm brown scarf trimmed with sparkling stone pins, and a brown shearling scarf embellished with shimmering stones.

At the post-event party organized by A$AP, she donned a sleek all-black ensemble featuring a midriff-revealing, ruffled blouse and a long skirt.

In an interview with Vogue during her first pregnancy in 2022, the singer expressed that she enjoyed dressing her baby bump excessively and didn’t want her passion for fashion to fade just because she was pregnant. She had too much fun with it and wanted to keep expressing herself through fashion.
