Rihanna Vs Mr Fenty Lawsuit

Radar Online reported that Rihanna filed the lawsuit in 2019, saying that:

"Although Mr Fenty is Rihanna's father, he does not have, and never has had, authority to act on Rihanna's behalf."

Rihanna disclosed that her dad Mr Fenty had been booking shows for her despite not being her agent, including a N5.6bn overseas tour without making prior confirmations with her.

Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty and a Barbadian by nationality noted that she had no knowledge of the shows booked by her father.

According to the musician, her father's miscalculated moves caused her reputational damage when it came to talking to promoters and venues. She has earlier alleged that her father even tried to trademark the phrase "Fenty" and use it to open hotels.

It should be noted that Rihanna, 33, and her father have had a strenuous relationship over the past few years.
