Rihanna's Father Believes She'll Be A Good Mom

In a recent interview with PageSix, Fenty, who was at his residence in Barbados, giddily detailed his excitement over Rihanna's pregnancy news.

The father-of-six said he was ecstatic, adding, "I’m so happy that I jumped for joy. I’m still so excited." He highlighted the fact that motherhood has always been his daughter's wish, saying:

“Rihanna always said that she wanted children. She loves kids. She always takes care of her cousins’ kids… she’s going to be a good mom.”

A$AP Rocky also met his girlfriend's father in December 2020 when she brought him to Barbados. Her father gave the rapper his approval and called him a very cool guy.

Fenty was formerly estranged from his daughter, which must be why he found out about her pregnancy with the rest of the world on January 30.

The 68-year-old said Rihanna sent him some photos, and he is over the moon, adding, "She’s beautiful inside and out.”

In 2020, the "Stay" singer told British Vogue about her plans to become a mother. She posited that since turning 32, she realized that life is relatively short.

Rihanna noted that she wants to live differently and remove some overwhelming aspects of her life from her plate. When asked where she sees herself in ten years, she responded:

 “Ten years? I’ll be 42! I’ll be ancient… I’ll have kids — three or four of ’em.”

The "We Found Love" singer clarified that all she needs to raise her child is love, and she would thrive as a single mother, regardless of what society thinks.

The Blast disclosed that over the weekend of January 30 and January 31, multiple photos surfaced of Rihanna's pregnancy photoshoot with A$AP Rocky reportedly taken in his hometown, Harlem. 

In the images, the "Love On The Brain" singer stunned effortlessly in the snowy New York weather while dressed in a full-length pink puffy winter coat.

Rihanna left the outfit unbuttoned, revealing the star of the show whose existence has been the subject of countless rumors. Many crystal necklaces rested against her bump to give her baby positive energy.

The “Ocean’s 8” actress completed her look with low-resting blue jeans. A$AP Rocky was not away from the action. Images showed him walking hand-in-hand with his lover.

The "Stockholm Syndrome" star and his girlfriend melted viewers' hearts with a photo of him placing a warm kiss on the forehead of the mother-to-be while their eyes were closed.

While speaking to GQ in May 2021, A$AP Rocky gushed about his feelings for Rihanna, who called the love of his life.

The "Sundress" rapper admitted that the "Anti" singer is not only the one but "amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones."

Why The FENTY Founder Filed A Lawsuit Against Her Father

According to multiple sources, Rihanna filed a lawsuit against her father to protect her reputation when he began exploiting millions of dollars from other businesses using her brand name Cheatsheet reported.

The businesswoman trademarked 'Fenty' for her lingerie line Fenty X savage, her makeup line Fenty Beauty, and more. She believed her father started profiting from her brand using his company, Fenty Entertainment.

The "Home" actress sued Fenty for soliciting money using her name and without her permission and going as far as acting as her business representative.

Rihanna sent the patriarch multiple cease-and-desist letters before asking the court for an injunction and suing for damages to protect her "name, reputation, goodwill and privacy.”

Although the singer has dropped her lawsuit against Fenty and seems to have forgiven him for his excesses, she previously fought to get a jury trial with the help of her legal team.

Rihanna sought to legally prevent her father's company from "selling, offering for sale, advertising or promoting any goods or services using the FENTY mark or any other term that is confusingly similar to Rihanna’s name.”
