Pop start, Rihanna is suing her father, Ronald Fenty for using Fenty, her brand name to start a business for himself.
In the lawsuit seen by TMZ, the singer claims her father used the name to start a talent development company called Fenty Entertainment.
Rihanna has already trademarked Fenty to use in a number of business ventures, including her renowned Fenty Beauty Line,
She claims her father is latching on to the success she has made of the Fenty brand to make a profit.
In the documents, Rihanna says 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 mil … all without her authorization.
She says she’s sent multiple cease and desist letters to her father, ordering him to stop capitalizing on 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 … and, of course, for damages.
