Rihanna Addresses Her Dad, Ronald Fenty’s, Passing While Opening Up About Her Hopes For Him As A Grandfather

On Sunday, July 13, Rihanna stepped out at the Paramount Theater in Los Angeles, California, alongside her sons, RZA and Riot Rose, for the premiere of the upcoming ‘Smurfs’ film. Furthermore, the expecting mother rocked a chocolate gown Saint Laurent while her sons also hit the blue carpet in style.

While at the event, Rih spoke with Entertainment Tonight and addressed her father’s passing and whether he had a chance to meet her sons.

“I’ve always wanted that and I’ve always dreamed of what type of grandfather he would be to them because of the favorite parts of my dad. I think it prepared me for having two boys,” she said. “The adventure side of me, the outside side of me, the dare devil — it’s how I want to raise them and I want them to be outside and be in nature.”

See her full response below.

Social Media Continues To Send Condolences

Social media users continued to send condolences Rihanna’s way in The Shade Room’s comment section.

Instagram user @_sweeetserrri_ wrote, “She is so strong. I would have been in full blown tears !”
While Instagram user @talfluence added, “She looks like his twin 😍”

Instagram user @refilwemodiselle wrote, “Condolences to her man I can relate with losing a Dad that was amazing ✨🙏🏻🕯️🤍. Love Rihanna man & her ways, you see that’s a beautiful old school parent that believes childhood is about creating or allowing valuable experiences with her kids. Not throwing them into being “tablet babies”!…”

While Instagram user @4ever_strong_ray2.9.17 added, “I love the way she answers questions but doesn’t answer questions lol…if that makes sense. It’s like she literally didn’t answer what he asked her but still gave him just enough to feel like she did!🤭😂😂😂😭😭”
Instagram user @sirdamestrong wrote, “Glad he acknowledged her fathers passing respectfully .”
While Instagram user @kweenmocha added, “She knew her father was the right person to give em REAL Caribbean discipline and have them babies forget what a Tablet was 😂👏🏾”

Instagram user @aprnbeauty wrote, “He didn’t meet them 😢”

While Instagram user @theblacklawyerspodcast added, “And we can tell she wanted to cry 🥹, it’s so hard losing a parent. She answered the question well ❤️”

Instagram user @__melaninxdaj_ wrote, “I would’ve been SOBBING 😢❤️ She so strong voice didn’t even crack !!!”
