Rihanna's boyfriend ASAP Rocky urgently rushes to support her after dad's death
Singer A$AP Rocky was spotted in New York rushing to be by pregnant Rihanna’s side after her father, Ronald Fenty, died at the age of 70 following a brief illness
Rihanna’s boyfriend, singer A$AP Rocky, rushed to be by her side after tragically losing her father. Rihanna's dad, Ronald Fenty, has died aged 70 in Los Angeles following a brief illness, according to reports. The pop icon, who shares two sons, RZA, 2, and Riot, 1, with A$AP Rocky, has reportedly been supported by her partner throughout this difficult time. The rapper was spotted in New York, where Rihanna is also staying.
The musician stepped out in all-black attire, consisting of some cropped black jeans, a dark t-shirt and a black leather bomber jacket. He completed the look with some sunglasses and chunky jewelry.
A$AP Rocky was snapped with his assistant, who covered him with an umbrella as he walked to a car where he reportedly made his way back to his family.
Ronald and Rihanna had a turbulent relationship. However, he previously opened up on how much she is loving mum life. The pop star's father told Page Six: “She’s loving it. She’s a very overprotective mother”, before joking that the baby looks like him.
He added: “Everybody says [the baby] looks like me, but you know, babies change, faces change. He [resembles] a lot of Rihanna and Rocky together.”
Rihanna previously paid for her father to attend a $58,000 Malibu rehab following a difficult period in their relationship that saw her send him home from her tour due to his alcohol abuse. Ronald was also the subject of a lawsuit filed by his daughter, who accused him of misusing her name to benefit his own entertainment company; however, she later dropped the lawsuit.
Rihanna announced her third pregnancy earlier this month when she attended the 2025 Met Gala, following many rumours that another baby was on the way. After keeping fans guessing by wearing baggy clothes, Rihanna used her fitted two-piece to make the big announcement at the 2025 gala.
The singer is building quite a reputation for delivering iconic pregnancy announcements after she announced her second pregnancy while performing at the Super Bowl.
Her dad reportedly had "no idea" his daughter was expecting a second baby at the time and is thought to have 'found out while watching the Super Bowl'.
TMZ reported Ronald said: "Oh my God! My baby girl looks pregnant”, while recalling the moment that he watched her perform the halftime show.
