After the tragic loss of her favorite cousin, Rihanna is “grieving” and “coping as best she can,” the pop star’s beloved father Ronald Fenty told Breaking Celebrity News in an exclusive interview.
“Rihanna is grieving right now,” he told Breaking Celebrity News from his home in the family’s native Barbados. “I’ve been getting lots of phone calls from our family. Everyone is sticking together. I’m not sure when the funeral is, but I’ll be there.”
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, Tavon Kaiseen Alleyne was just 21 when he was shot several times during an evening walk near his Barbados home on December 26.
He died in hospital from his injuries, and police are still on the hunt for his killer.
“Our investigation is continuing and there are no arrests at the moment,” Inspector Roland Cobbler with the Royal Barbados Police Force told Breaking Celebrity News.
Rihanna, who had just spent Christmas with Tavon the day before his death, took to Instagram to pen a heartfelt tribute.
“RIP cousin… can’t believe it was just last night that I held you in my arms! Never thought that would be the last time I felt the warmth in your body!!! Love you always man… #endgunviolence”.
