Rihanna has chosen to abandon a legal dispute against her father, Ronald Fenty, just weeks before their scheduled court appearance. Initially filed in 2019, Rihanna accused her father of exploiting her ‘Fenty’ trademark and association with her for the benefit of his own entertainment company.

Allegations included unauthorized attempts to organize an overseas tour on her behalf and using her name without consent, prompting Rihanna to sue him for false advertising and invasion of privacy.

The trial for Rihanna’s injunction against her father was set for September 22, but this week, she filed for the case to be dismissed. While the exact reason for this decision remains undisclosed, reports suggest that Rihanna opted for an out-of-court settlement with her father and his business partner, Moses Perkins.

Documents obtained by Radar Online indicate that Rihanna settled privately to avoid a public confrontation.

Previously, Rihanna’s lawyers alleged that her dad and Moses Perkins created a company called Fenty Entertainment and tried to book a 15-date tour of Latin America worth $15m (£11m), as well as shows in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, without Rihanna’s knowledge.

“Mr Fenty and Mr Perkins have used these lies in a fraudulent effort to solicit millions of dollars from unsuspecting third parties in exchange for the false promise that they were authorised to act on Rihanna’s behalf,” lawyers said.

Rihanna’s team also alleged that Ronald tried to profit from the lucrative “Fenty” trademark, which she uses for her own business ventures.

Rihanna and Ronald are said to have a strained relationship, but the singer apparently looked after her dad last year when he caught COVID-19, sending him a ventilator and checking up on him daily.

Neither Rihanna nor her dad have commented on the recent court case developments.
