Rihanna is a native of Barbados’s Caribbean Island.

Rihanna was born in Saint Michael, Barbados, on February 20, 1988. Her parents are Monica, an accountant, and Ronald Fenty, a warehouse supervisor. Her mother is of Afro-Guyanese descent, and her father is of Irish, African, Scottish, and English ancestry.

She grew up in Bridgetown in a three-bedroom house and sold garments on the street with her father. She has two brothers, Rajad and Rorrey Fenty, as well as two half-brothers and two half-sisters from her father's past connections, all of whom were born to separate mothers.

The alcoholism of her father and crack drug addiction had a massive effect on her youth, contributing to her parent's troubled marriage. Rihanna's father tended to physically assault her mother, and she would intervene to break up confrontations.

Rihanna had multiple CT scans as a child for painful migraines, noting the doctors almost believed it was a tumor since it was so intense. Her parents divorced when she was 14, and her health started to improve. She went to Combermere School, Charles F. Broome Memorial Primary School, where she was a classmate of future global cricketers Carlos Brathwaite and Chris Jordan.
