Ronald Fenty had long struggled with drug addiction, a battle that deeply affected his relationship with Rihanna over the years. The singer has spoken openly about their complicated bond, which was strained not only by his substance abuse but also by his divorce from Rihanna’s mother, Monica Braithwaite, when the singer was just 14.
