Rihanna filed a lawsuit claiming her dad is using her name to get rich. Her father Ronald Fenty and Moses Perkins have created a company Fenty Entertainment that deals with business acting.
The singer states she isn’t a part of Fenty Entertainment, and that “Although Mr. Fenty is Rihanna’s father, he does not have, and never has had, authority to act on Rihanna’s behalf.”
In 2018, her father tried to name hotels “Fenty” but got refused by U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
