Rihanna & A$AP Rocky’s Son Has Had “A Few Names,” Her Father Ronald Fenty Reveals

As his daughter prepares to shine bright like a diamond on the Super Bowl Halftime show stage, Ronald Fenty couldn’t be more proud of Rihanna. The two have had an undeniably troubled relationship in the past. Now, however, they seem to have put their differences aside. Ahead of tomorrow’s big show, the singer’s father spoke with Page Six about the excitement brewing in the air.

“Everybody is saying that football is just opening up for her — it’s the Rihanna show,” the Barbadian joked. “It’s the moment that everybody has been waiting for.” As a father, he’s obviously biased, but he’s certainly not wrong. Everyone from Adele to H.E.R. has made it known that football will be taking a back seat to the mother of one’s performance.

Surprisingly, Fenty couldn’t get his hands on tickets to the Super Bowl. Still, that won’t stop him from showing his support for the ANTI hitmaker. He and two friends reportedly flew from Barbados to Las Vegas yesterday, where they picked up a Winnebago to rent. “The hotels are outrageous prices,” Rihanna’s dad said. “Oh my gosh, they’re like $1,600 a night!”

From Sin City, the proud papa and his crew will drive nearly five hours to Glendale, Arizona. The Bad Gal has reportedly been staying at a private home in Paradise Hills. She’s markedly been rehearsing non-stop for her highly anticipated return to the stage. In a press conference earlier this week, Rih teased that her show in 13 minutes of action that audiences will hopefully love.

Elsewhere in his chat with Page Six, Fenty spoke about his new role as a grandfather, revealing that his daughter is a “very overprotective mother.” The outlet made sure to ask him about the young boy‘s name, which his parents are keeping secret. It seems it’s going to stay that way, though Ronald did confirm that Rihanna has tried out “a few names,” but isn’t ready to share her choice just yet. “She’ll have my head if I tell you!” her dad joked.

Along with the Super Bowl show, it’s rumoured that the 34-year-old could be hitting the road for a worldwide tour soon. Nothing has been officially confirmed just yet, but the last time she hit the road was in 2016. Since then, the Navy has been desperately begging to hear more music from the new mother ASAP.

Of course, Rihanna hasn’t left the world without anything during her musical hiatus. She spends plenty of time working on Savage x Fenty, as well as her Fenty Beauty and Skin lines. Additionally, the multi-talent earned her first Oscar for one of the two songs she contributed to the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.

Tristan Thompson Breaks Silence On His Mother’s Death, Apologizes For Causing Her “Embarrassment”

One month after tragically losing his mother to a heart attack, Tristan Thompson has broken his silence. The Canadian athlete shared a touching tribute to Andrea via his Instagram page on Sunday (February 6), thanking her for raising him right while also apologizing for any embarrassment he might have caused. At the same time, he promised his family matriarch that he would do everything possible to take care of what she left behind.

“Dearest mommy in heaven, It has been one month since you’ve been gone,” he emotionally began. “I’m in disbelief. I’m in the deepest part of sorrow & grief
My soul is empty as I come to terms that my biggest supporter/superhero is gone. I cannot thank you enough for always being a woman of faith, being one of God’s warriors, fighting back with whatever the world threw our way.”

Thompson then vented about his newfound desire to hear Andrea’s voice one last time. He promised her that her sacrifices over the years on behalf of her family didn’t go unnoticed and that she was the strongest woman he’s encountered in his life. “I know you’re here as I write this letter,” he penned in his caption.

“All I can say is, I’m sorry mommy for the wrong decisions I’ve made in my life. I’m sorry for the embarrassment and pain. You raised me better than what I was able to show you,” Tristan went on to say, potentially referencing his past infidelities, among other scandals. “But I have also learned sorry is not enough. Actions speak louder than words. So I won’t just say sorry.”

According to his post, Thompson plans to take great strides to show Andrea and the world what an amazing son she raised. “I will show you that even when we fall and make mistakes, we get back up. You are my motivation. Stand beside me as I become the man I know you always believed in. I’m going to make you proud, I promise.”

In conclusion, the father of four also promised that his younger brother, Amari, is going to be taken care of. “I know they say time heals all but I don’t think this pain will ever go away,” he wrote in reflection. “We had so many memories and more I wanted to share with you. We will still share them but now from heaven. As the tears roll down my face, all I can ask is please continue to be my light.”

Tristan’s tribute to his late mother is undeniably touching, and it’s certainly not the only one we’ve seen dedicated to Andrea lately. The Brampton native’s ex, Khloé Kardashian, filled a photo dump with her sweetest memories of her children’s grandmother. “I know you never wanted to leave your boys. They are your entire world,” her lengthy caption reads.

“I have so many emotions and still I feel numb. Life can be brutally unfair at times. This has been one of the toughest times in so many of our lives. But at the same time, I feel blessed that I am lucky to have had someone that makes saying goodbye so incredibly difficult,” she also wrote.

Blueface’s Mom Threatens To “Slap The Shit” Out Of Him: Watch

For some, Sunday is the Lord’s day. For others, however, it’s a day sure to be full of chaos and drama thanks to a new episode of Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s Crazy In Love.

The last few weeks have seen the famous couple’s antics playing out on their Zeus reality series. We’ve seen the “Thotiana” rapper and his partner’s father exchange blows. Also, the reality starlet’s brother appeared to give the couple advice about their often-aggressive relationship.

Rock and Blueface’s bickering has been the centre of several episodes. However, we’ve still seen his issues with his own family play out. This week, in particular, the 25-year-old comes face-to-face with his mother, Karlissa Saffold.

In one preview that’s been circulating online, the California native and his mom step outside to speak. He tells her that she carries herself with a lot of importance and that he loves her because of their familial relationship. Still, that’s not always enough.

“I feel like I’m more mature than you,” Blue tells Saffold in front of the cameras. “Love you, mother, but you just not my type of woman I guess. Not my type of lady.”

In another trailer, most of the 25-year-old’s family comes together to confront Rock and her man. Specifically, they feud about a physical altercation between the group that previously went viral.

“If you’re 50 with little kids outside, you’re going to get into some little kid shit,” Blueface explains to Saffold as she yells at him. In response, she says, “If you disrespect me, and you’re my son, Jonathan, I’m gonna slap the shit out of you every time! I am your mother!”

The recording artist and Rock look visibly uncomfortable from the other side of the room, though he says “I understand.” At the same time, his mother continues to yell about how they didn’t argue in the past with his sister also joining in.
