Rihanna is addressing her dad, Ronald Fenty’s, passing while opening up about her hopes and dreams for him as 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.”
