Rihanna has had a meteoric rise to stardom ever since she burst onto the music scene in 2006.

Over the past nearly two decades, she has transitioned away from music, leaving fans yearning for new albums, to establish herself as a leading businesswoman of our era.

In 2021, Rihanna achieved billionaire status, propelled by the immense success of her Fenty beauty line.

The singer-turned-entrepreneur introduced Fenty in 2017 with a vision to revolutionize the cosmetic industry by offering a more inclusive range of products for women.

Prior to this, having more than three shades of concealer or foundation was unconventional.

Thanks to Rihanna and her creation of fifty diverse shades, the market has shifted, inspiring numerous competitors.

Nevertheless, Rihanna’s journey to success has been overshadowed by the complex relationship she shares with her father.

In 2019, she initiated legal action against him, drawing widespread attention.

Fast forward three years later, the case was discontinued.

Does this signal a reconciliation between them?

Why was the lawsuit terminated?

Let’s delve into the details.

In 2019, Rihanna sued her father, Ronald Fenty, and his enterprise “Fenty Business,” alleging that he was exploiting her fame without authorization.

Court documents revealed that despite being Rihanna’s father, Mr. Fenty lacked the authority to represent her interests.

Apart from leveraging her name for personal gain, Rihanna accused her father of masquerading as her agent, arranging shows worth $15 million internationally without her consent.

She further contended that his actions tarnished her reputation, causing issues with venues and booking agents.

Additionally, Rihanna claimed that her father aimed to launch a hotel chain under her name.

Conversely, her father argued that he had the right to use the name Fenty as it was his own.

After enduring negative publicity and legal wrangling, Rihanna withdrew the lawsuit in September 2021.

Now, let’s explore where the father-daughter duo stands today.

Rihanna appears poised to move forward following a potentially transformative event in her relationship with her father, Ronald Fenty, who battled COVID-19 in 2020.

Upon learning about his diagnosis, Rihanna reportedly provided him with a ventilator and maintained daily communication.

In an interview with The Sun, Ronald expressed gratitude towards Rihanna, acknowledging her support during his illness.

Their history dates back beyond the 2019 lawsuit; Rihanna has previously disclosed witnessing her father physically abusing her mother during her childhood, and the impact of his alcoholism on her upbringing.

Despite these challenges, both parties have shown a commitment to repairing their bond.

Notably, in 2013, Rihanna financed Ronald’s attendance at a private rehabilitation facility in California.

Neither Rihanna nor Ronald has publicly addressed the reasons behind discontinuing the lawsuit.

Presumably, they are eager to set aside this chapter and focus on reconciling their strained relationship.
