Ronald Fenty, Rihanna‘s dad has come forth to give an health update after testing positive to coronavirus. He spoke in a recent interview.
Although, his health status was not made public, Fenty indicated that his singer-daughter went out of her way to send a ventilator to his home in Barbados to help him battle through the illness.
Ronald Fenty, 66, who has had a rocky relationship with his daughter admitted he feared the worst when he was struck down with the virus.
He said: “I feared the worst. I thought I was going to die, honestly.”
Discussing his symptoms, he said: “I got a fever up inside of my nose. I had a fever across my lips. It was just a lot of fever,” he recalled. It resulted in him being quarantined at an isolation center where he says he was able to make a full recovery just after 14 days.
Ronald Fenty went ahead to praise his daughter for the ventilator.
“I have to say, ‘I love you so much, Robyn,’” he added. “She did so much for me. I appreciate everything she has done.”
The 66-year-old who has been declared “virus-free” cautioned “everybody to stay home” as the number of cases continues to spike up.
“This is a serious situation. More serious than people realize. Please stay home,” he urged people.
Rihanna, real name Robyn Fenty sued her dad in 2019 for exploiting her name without her permission.
The singer filed a lawsuit against him and a company called Fenty Entertainment for allegedly using the surname, which she uses on her range of Fenty Beauty products, to solicit business acting as agents of the singer.
