Rihanna's Mother Moves In To Curve Wild Lifestyle

Rihanna  is gearing up for her first acting role in “Battleship” out this weekend. The bigger story however surrounds the mounting concerns around her health and mental well-being. Last week the “Birthday Cake” singer tweeted a photo of an IV in her left arm at a New York City hospital, hours later she was on a plane back to Los Angeles to hit the red carpet for her film. In addition to her exhausting work load Rihanna’s personal life appears to be in shambles. Her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown released a remix to “Theraful” that left many believing he dissed his ex-girlfriend – she unfollowed him on Twitter within hours of its release. In the midst of it all, the “Rude Boy” singer is partying her little heart away. The “wild party marathons have taken over her life” which is leading her “on the path to destruction,” said a source.

“Rihanna thinks she can go wild at parties, then wake up fine the next day. But clearly she can’t. Hopefully the shock of ending up in hospital will be a wake-up call.”

If we are to believe the rumors of said source then Rihanna’s mother Monica Braithwaite is on a mission to save her daughter from an inevitable downward spiral.

“Monica (Fenty) is moving in to keep an eye on her. Rihanna’s dad, Ronald, was a crack addict. Monica’s refusing to let her go down that path,” said another source to the sun.co.uk.

“Crack”??? It’s no surprise that the pop star enjoys having a good time and enjoys being young but the truth remains that she shows up! Gig after gig Rihanna arrives to get her job done – we can’t imagine what more you can ask for.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
