Renowned songstress , Rihanna has sued her dad, Ronald Fenty for stealing her Fenty brand name to launch a business for himself.
In a new lawsuit — obtained by TMZ — Rihanna claims her father, Ronald Fenty, recently started a talent development company in 2017 called Fenty Entertainment. The problem … Rihanna has already trademarked “Fenty” to use in a number of biz ventures, including her well-known Fenty Beauty line. She claims he’s profiting off the reputation she’s created with Fenty.
According to the documents, Rihanna alleges that her father and a business partner falsely advertised themselves as her reps to solicit millions of dollars, including trying to book her for 15 shows in Latin America in December 2017 for $15 million … all without her authorization.
Rihanna claims later that her dad even unsuccessfully tried to file a trademark for “Fenty” to use with resort boutique hotels.
She says she’s sent multiple cease and desist letters to her father, ordering him to stop capitalizing off her Fenty trademarks, but says he’s ignored them and continued to make money off Fenty Entertainment.
She’s asking a judge to place an injunction on her dad using the name Fenty
