R&B star Rihanna is suing her father
for using their surname for his business venture.
The What's My Name? singer, whose full
name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, filed a lawsuit in a federal court in Los Angeles
on Tuesday.
It claims that her father, Ronald Fenty,
and his business partners violated her trademark and falsely suggested their
business - Fenty Entertainment - was affiliated with the 30-year-old performer.
According to legal filings, the Umbrella
performer had "absolutely no affiliation" with Fenty Entertainment.
Rihanna says she has used the Fenty name
for her cosmetics line and other businesses since 2012
In the lawsuit, Rihanna says that she
has used the Fenty name for her cosmetics line and other businesses since 2012.
Her father's business, which advertises
itself as a talent and production company, was founded in 2017.
The lawsuit claims Fenty Entertainment
accepted a third party offer of $15m (£11.7m) in 2017 for Rihanna to perform at
15 shows in Latin America.
It also alleges the company wrongly
implied the pop star was involved in a boutique hotels project.
The lawsuit says that despite being
repeatedly told to not use the Fenty name or speak on Rihanna's behalf, Mr
Fenty and his business partners continued to claim they were affiliated with
the singer.
