Rihanna’s father Ronald Fenty died in Los Angeles last month from a combination of respiratory failure and pancreatic cancer, according to a death certificate obtained by TMZ.
The father of Rihanna, 71, died at a hospital while “surrounded by family” following what was described as a “brief illness.”
The official document listed multiple causes of death, including aspiration pneumonia a severe lung infection along with acute renal failure and acute tubular necrosis, both of which point to severe kidney damage.
Fenty, who lived in Barbados, had kept a relatively low profile in recent years due to his strained relationship with his superstar daughter.
They did eventually reconcile and Ronald shared his joy publicly when Rihanna, 37, announced her second pregnancy during the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show.
