The report was confirmed by TMZ and Pitchfork.

Court documents say: "Although Mr Fenty is Rihanna's father, he does not have, and never has had, authority to act on Rihanna's behalf."

It claims they have "egregiously and fraudulently misrepresented to third parties and the public that their company, Fenty Entertainment, LLC, is affiliated with Rihanna, and has the authority to act on her behalf."
