Rihanna’s dad won’t be getting any father of the year awards, judging from a new interview.
Not only is Ronald Fenty taking credit for Rihanna’s sleek physique, saying that he prodded her to workout by calling her “fat,” he also revealed that he would be fine if Rihanna were to rekindle her romance with Brown, who plead guilty to assaulting the singer in a lover’s quarrel turned physical in 2009.
RIHANNA AND CHRIS BROWN RECORD TWO SUGGESTIVE SONGS TOGETHER
”Chris is a nice guy and everybody’s entitled to make mistakes in their life. God knows how many I’ve made,” Fenty tells the new issue of Heat magazine, when asked about the singer collaborating with her ex on two songs. “She’s her own woman now.”
Before attending the 54th annual Grammys with his daughter, whose given name is Robyn Fenty, Ronald Fenty had last seen the singer when she visited Barbados in August. He said that, at the time, the “Birthday Cake” singer was not looking her best and that he wasn’t shy about critiquing her body.
“I actually thought she was a little fat the last time I saw her,” he said. “When I saw her at this year’s Grammys, I thought she was back to her normal size. I used to joke with her, ‘Robyn,you’re getting too fat.’ But I think she’s fine. I think she looked excellent, as everyone saw, at the Grammys. She’s dieting, she’s working out.”
After two years of not speaking, Rihanna and Fenty only started communicating again in 2010. At the time of their reunion, Fenty said, “Maybe we’re not as close as we were when she was growing up here … But we are blood, we do not stay angry.”
