Rihanna's Dad Gave Chris Brown His Blessings, Talks RiRi Being Fat

Rihanna is more in the news this days for reuniting with her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, rather than for her catchy pop hits.

Last month the Barbadian pop star made headlines when she recording two remix with Brown, who is still on probation for the infamous 2009 beat down.

Rihanna’s dad, Ronald Fenty, opens up to Heat Magazine about his feelings towards the two reuniting.

“Chris is a nice guy and everybody’s entitled to make mistakes in their life – God knows how many I’ve made. She’s her own woman now,” Ronald Fenty said.

Fenty also revealed that he ordered Rihanna to go on a diet and workout regime because he felt she was putting on too much weight.

“I actually thought she was a little fat the last time I saw her,” Fenty said.

Fenty, who accompanied RiRi at this year’s Grammy Awards, said she now looks great.

“But when I saw her at this year’s Grammys, I thought she was back to her normal size. I used to joke with her, ‘Robyn, you’re getting too fat.’ But I think she’s fine. I think she looked excellent, as everyone saw, at the Grammys. She’s dieting, she’s working out.”

Rihanna is currently filming for her upcoming Fashion Reality TV Show in the UK. The show will make it’s debut this summer.
