Rihanna's dad 'feared for life' as he battled coronavirus at Barbados home

Pop songstress Rhianna sent a ventilator to her dad, Ronald, after he contracted the deadly coronavirus.

The dad-of-six went on to say that his daughter, real name Robyn Rhianna Fenty, called him every day to check how he was feeling.

Ronald, 66, revealed that he was suffering from Covid-19 and symptoms such as an unusually high temperature at home in Barbados.

Rihanna’s dad went on to say that he feared the worst during his illness and believed he was close to death.

Speaking to The US Sun from his luxury St. James home, the 66-year-old said: “My daughter Robyn was checking in on me every day.

“I thought I was going to die to be honest. I have to say, I love you so much, Robyn.’

“She did so much for me. I appreciate everything she has done.”

Ronald also revealed that Rihanna, 32, was able to get her hands on a sought after ventilator and was able to get it to her father.

He added that the Umbrella hitmaker gave “more than” he needed to make it through his rough period.

Ronald spent 14 days in Barbados’ Paragon Isolation Centre before being declared well.

“I want everybody to stay [at] home. This is a serious situation.

“More serious than people realize. Please stay home,” he continued.

His case is one of few confirmed in Barbados with the exotic isle only having confirmed three deaths.

Rihanna recently announced that she and boss Jay-Z had started working together to donate $1 million each in a bid to combat the Covid-19 virus.

The Shawn Carter Foundation, named after Jay-Z and the Clara Lionel Foundation, named after her mum will “support undocumented workers, the children of frontline health workers and first responders, and incarcerated, elderly and homeless populations in New York City and Los Angeles.”
