Somber Rihanna attends dad Ronald Fenty’s Barbados funeral with A$AP Rocky and sons.
Rihanna flew to Barbados with her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, and their two sons, RZA and Riot, to attend her dad Ronald Fenty’s funeral.
The singer, who is currently pregnant with her third child, looked somber as she arrived at her father’s funeral in her native land at the Garfield Sobers Gymnasium on Tuesday, per photos obtained by Page Six.
The pop star — who rocked a nude-colored, floor-length, draped gown, open-toe heels and sunglasses — was seen carrying her youngest son, Riot, 1, while the “Fashion Killa” emcee followed behind with their 3-year-old, RZA.

The following month, TMZ reported that Ronald’s death certificate listed his cause of death as acute respiratory failure, pancreatic cancer and aspiration pneumonia.
The dad of six’s death certificate also listed acute renal failure and acute tubular necrosis.
The beauty guru — whose birth name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty — had a complicated relationship with Ronald throughout her life.

Ronald reportedly struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, causing strain on his relationship with the singer.
Rihanna opened up about feeling betrayed by her father, who allegedly exploited her for his own financial gain, in a 2011 interview with Vogue.
“It’s really strange. That’s the only word I can think of to describe it, because you grow up with your father, you know him, you are a part of him, for goodness sakes!” she told the magazine, per Billboard.

“And then he does something so bizarre that I can’t begin to wrap my mind around it,” she continued.
“You hear the horror stories about people going behind people’s backs and doing strange things, but you always think, ‘Not my family. My father would never do that to me.’”
However, the father-daughter duo appeared to have reconciled in recent years.
Ronald previously spoke to Page Six about being a grandfather after the Fenty Beauty founder welcomed her first child, RZA, in May 2022.

In February 2023, Ronald told us he had spent some time with RZA in Barbados. At the time, he said his daughter was “loving” motherhood and made for a “very overprotective” mom.
“Everybody says [the baby] looks like me, but you know, babies change, faces change. He [resembles] a lot of Rihanna and Rocky together,” Ronald said of RZA.
He also described Rocky, 36, as “such a cool guy.”
“Very respectable. He’s taking to fatherhood very well,” he said of the rapper.
