When it comes to Rihanna’s love life, does daddy really know best?
The singer’s father, Ronald Fenty, has made headlines by expressing his happiness over the possibility that his daughter might be reconciling with her former boyfriend Chris Brown. In fact, he says, he would like them to get married.
As Fenty told the UK Sun: “I hope one day she will get married. Everyone adores Chris. He is a good person.”
Here at Nicerazzi, we like to keep things on the positive tip. But we can say with some certainty that Chris Brown is one of the hardest celebs to say nice things about – and calling anyone “a good person” after they do this to someone – nevermind your daughter – feel like the words of someone in dire need of self-reflection.
Nevertheless, Rhi-Rhi’s dad seems to have made peace with the fact that the R&B singer infamously beat up his daughter 3 years ago. So why is he okay with Brown? “The family loved Chris Brown before they even met him,” Fenty explained. “I always thought he was extremely talented. He always gave me great respect.”
When Rihanna and Chris began dating in 2008 it seemed like a perfect match of two musical titans – but after the assault a year later, it was over. Now, rumor has it that things may be heating up between them again. Chris recently broke up with girlfriend Karrueche Tran, and according to some sources he did it because he’s still carrying the torch for the woman he once nearly beat to death.
“I have no problem with Chris getting back together with [Rihanna],” he says. “I think everyone makes mistakes and they shouldn’t be held onto forever. Everyone should be forgiven once. I know they love each other. They always have. She’s happiest when she’s around him and as long as she’s happy, I’m happy.”
Rihanna’s own relationship with her father is a strained one. When she was growing up, he battled drug addiction, and he’s had a host of personal problems over the years. So, what do you think? Should Rihanna listen to her daddy’s advice and get back with Chris, or does she need to realize that there are plenty of (non-violent) fish in the sea?
