Rihanna‘s father is being called out for alleged lies, according to Page Six. Over the weekend, the megastar’s father had done an interview with The Sun alleging that he had contracted coronavirus and that his daughter sent him a ventilator. “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,” he said. “She did so much for me. I appreciate everything she has done.” He added that she sent him a ventilator that “he hadn’t used yet.” Apparently, that isn’t true, according to a rep for the “Needed Me” singer.

Seeing as how the world is in dire need of ventilators now more than ever, it’s understandable why reps for RihRih would want to debunk those rumors, especially when she’s been putting in work for relief efforts. Rihanna and Jay-Z together donated $2M to fight coronavirus following a massive $5M RihRih’s Clara Lionel Foundation’s donated as well as for efforts. Most recently, she and Jack Dorsey donated $4.2M for domestic violence victims.

Even as she’s pulled through with some major philanthropic moves during the pandemic, she recently gave fans a “Fenty Social Club” Party on Instagram Live that included performances from Lil Uzi Vert, Octan, and many more. 

During this quarantine, Rihanna has stepped up to help her home country of Barbados. The Caribbean island has logged a handful of coronavirus cases, but considering its population, authorities want to control the spread of COVID-19 as quickly as possible. It’s been reported that over the last few weeks, Rihanna has made generous donations to Barbados and New York, helping to supply healthcare workers with ventilators to treat patients. Now, Rihanna’s father Ronald Fenty has told The Sun that his famous daughter sent a ventilator to his home after he contracted COVID-19.

“My daughter Robyn was checking in on me every day,” Ronald told the publication. “I thought I was going to die to be honest. I have to say, I love you so much, Robyn.” He also stated that Rihanna went above and beyond to make sure he recovered. “She did so much for me. I appreciate everything she has done.”

Ronald Fenty also shared what it was like while he was ill. “I got a fever up inside of my nose. I had a fever across my lips. It was just a lot of fever,” he added. “I feared the worst. I thought I was going to die, honestly.” Ronald eventually spent 14 days under strict supervision at the Paragon Isolation Center. “I want everybody to stay home. This is a serious situation,” he said. “More serious than people realize. Please stay home.”
