Sources told the newspaper that Fenty was surrounded by his family at the time of his death. Rihanna, who is currently pregnant with her third child, is Fenty's daughter, and her mother, Monica Braithwaite, has not yet publicly addressed the tragic news.

Her family also includes her brothers Rajad and Rory, as well as three half-sisters from her father's previous relationships, sisters Samantha and Candy, and brother Jamie, who were raised in Bridgetown, Barbados, where Rihanna lived until she was 16. However, the couple split in 2002, when the Diamonds frontman was 14.

Rihanna's relationship with her father was strained, which became apparent in 2009 when her then-boyfriend Chris Brown assaulted her, and Fenty spoke to the press without her consent about the matter.

Although the Work singer told Oprah Winfrey a year later that she had "repaired" her relationship with her father, in 2019 she filed a lawsuit against Fenty, alleging that he had exploited her name for financial gain. But according to the BBC, three weeks before the lawsuit was due to go to court, Rihanna filed a motion to withdraw it.
