Rihanna’s father Ronald Fenty did a lengthy interview with Sunday Mirror where he said that he was ashamed after she caught him smoking crack cocaine when she was just nine years old.Ronald also hopes that she will win best international female artist at Brits awards do in London in Wednesday.Ronald revealed:
“I turned and looked Rihanna in the eye and instantly came back down from the high I was on. I saw her run for her mother, ask her something and then they both started to cry. I had no idea she had been watching.
“It was the lowest point – life just stopped and I realised what a fool I had been.”
Ronald who was thrown out of the family home in Barbados and stopped from seeing his daughter has finally managed to kick the drugs and now plays a full part in her life .
“I spent 25 years doing drugs so I know the devastation they cause,” “Last year I sat her down and said, ‘Rihanna don’t make the mistakes I did. Don’t do drugs’.
“You see so many young people find fame then lose their heads. I begged her not to do a Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan. She looked me in the eyes and said, ‘Dad don’t be stupid’. She won’t go down the path I went down. She’s too smart.”
He added:
“I was out of control. I would let my wife and my children down time and time again. I was not a good dad or husband.”
“I was in the lounge and heard this angelic singing from the balcony,” he said. “I looked out and it was Rihanna. My heart jumped. I knew then she was special.”
“It was the turning point. Monica chucked me out and we never patched things up. I knew I could carrying on taking drugs and die or stop and see my children grow up. I still thank God every day I chose to stop – I live for my children now.”
“The only thing I want is to be a part of her life. I have had her forgiveness, which you can’t put a price on, and I would never dream of asking her for a dollar.”
“I would have loved to have gone to London but, unless Rihanna calls and says, ‘Hey dad, jump on a plane’, then I will be watching on TV with a bottle of beer,”

You only have one father.
No matter what he did, you’ll never have another one like him.
Cherish him…And give him a few gifts that would make his life

You only have one father. Mine was for the most part not a good father and he admitted in his later years. Yet, he was not all bad and memories of his good traits, though few, remain with me this day. My biggest regret is that I did not tell him that I’d forgiven him before his sudden death. The pain of his passing will never go away primarily because I felt I could not come out and express how I felt before his death. Girl, try not to let you dad get under your skin, chances are he will always do something that will make you angry but always remember he is your dad at the end of the day. If he dies without your expressing your love for him despite his faults, you will never get over it – now is the time to be the strong one for both of you.
