While Rihanna and her father had a complicated relationship, at one point becoming estranged and even involved in a lawsuit, she shared that they had eventually reconciled.

Details surrounding the nature of Ronald’s passing have not been disclosed, though sources say he was surrounded by family when he took his final breath.

Sending love and strength to Rihanna and her family during this time.
