Heartbreak and Healing: Rihanna Mourns Father Ronald Fenty

Rihanna's Dad Dies: Cause of Death Revealed, Singer Devastated by Loss

In a shocking turn of events, Ronald Fenty, the father of global superstar Rihanna, has passed away at the age of 70 due to complications from pancreatic cancer, acute respiratory failure, and aspiration pneumonia. The news comes as a devastating blow to the singer, who is currently pregnant with her third child.

According to an official death certificate obtained by TMZ, Ronald's health issues also included acute renal failure and acute tubular necrosis, both indicating severe kidney damage. The cause of death was revealed on Thursday, following reports that Rihanna was struggling to cope with her father's passing.

Sources close to the singer told The Scholarly Note that Rihanna is "heartbroken" over the loss of her dad, despite their complicated past. Insiders claim that the pair had a strained relationship, with periods of reconciliation and estrangement. However, in his final days, it seems Ronald and Rihanna made amends, with the source revealing that she "has forgiven her father and, in death, they got back to a loving father and daughter relationship."

Rihanna's friends and family are said to be rallying around her as she navigates this difficult time. The singer is currently pregnant with her third child, and the emotional weight of her father's passing has taken a toll on her mental health.

"Being pregnant and dealing with ASAP's legal woes have been an emotional rollercoaster for her over the past few months," a source revealed to The Scholarly Note. "To add to it all, her dad was getting sick, and it started to become too much. She feels how important family is, especially being a mother herself."

Rihanna's relationship with her father has been well-documented in the media. In 2009, she revealed that they hadn't spoken for over a year, citing his behavior on her tour as the reason for their estrangement.

"I've been the one trying to reconcile with him forever," Rihanna said at the time. "I haven't heard from my father in over a year. I try though, I reached out to him. I did my part. Now it's on him."

In recent years, Rihanna has spoken publicly about her struggles with forgiveness and moving forward from a difficult childhood. Her father's death may have brought up painful memories for the singer, but it seems that she is taking steps towards healing.

Ronald Fenty had a history of addiction to crack cocaine and was known to be a heavy drinker. In 2008, he was kicked off Rihanna's North American tour after getting drunk on her bus. However, in his final years, it appears that he and Rihanna were working towards reconciliation.

Rihanna even went so far as to put her father through a $58,000 rehab program in Malibu in 2013, following his arrest for drunken behavior during a visit to California. Despite their past issues, Ronald has spoken highly of Rihanna's motherly instincts, praising her for being a "good mom" and taking care of her cousins' children.

The news of Ronald's passing comes as a shock to fans around the world, who have taken to social media to pay tribute to the singer's father. As one fan tweeted: "RIP Ronald Fenty. Sending love and condolences to Rihanna and her family."

In related news, sources close to The Scholarly Note revealed that Rihanna's brother Rajad Fenty was spotted visiting his sister at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Wednesday. However, the singer herself was not pictured with him.

As fans continue to mourn the loss of Ronald Fenty, they will also be keeping a watchful eye on Rihanna as she navigates this difficult time. The singer has been open about her struggles with mental health and grief in the past, and it's clear that her father's passing will have a profound impact on her life.

With three children on the way and a high-profile career to manage, Rihanna is set to face one of the toughest challenges of her life. But as she grieves for her father, fans around the world will be holding their breaths, hoping that the singer will emerge stronger than ever before.
