Recently, Rihanna has been surrounded by blessings, but unfortunately, she is now facing the pain of losing a family member. Her cousin, Tanella Alleyne, tragically passed away in their home country last month. This loss hits particularly hard for the Fenty family, as Tanella’s brother, Tavon, was fatally shot six years ago, still lingering heavily in their hearts.

The funeral for Tanella took place at St. George Parish Church, where many gathered to pay their respects. Amidst the sorrow, Rihanna’s beautiful ballad, “Lift Me Up,” played, honoring her cousin’s memory.

Miguel Fenty, a family member, took to Twitter to express his emotions, sharing, “What a beautiful funeral service Tanella had. It’s still surreal to me. She was truly an angel, and I’ll miss her dearly.”

The cause of Tanella’s sudden death remains unclear, but her adoptive mother fondly described her as a woman filled with gratitude, attitude, and confidence during her eulogy. With the recent birth of Rihanna’s second son, emotions are running high. Her partner, ASAP Rocky, mentioned they plan to reveal the baby’s name soon, but mourning such a loss may take precedence for now. Stay tuned for updates on baby Fenty No. 2 and more music and pop culture news. Rest in peace.
