Rihanna's Father Got drunk And Told all her business To A British Tabloid (Interview Inside)

Read below:

'I had Johnny Walker Black. I had two doubles man and tripped over a chair. I had been on the [red] carpet for the pictures, I meet a couple of famous people I knew go and talked with them, and then somebody left a chair and I stepped back and fell over, I saw my ex (Monica) look up, and within a few minutes after the picture was taken, security came up and said "we’re taking you home". I said "but I haven’t seen my daughter yet"… and they said "don’t matter man". 'They said "please do not make a scene it will reflect on your daughter".'

'I’m sad how it ended of course, I should have never taken that first drink or any drink for that matter. I wish I had seen her of course. She will probably hear how I was and how I had a few drinks, so I guess she would be angry with me. I think she is, I’m not sure, we haven’t spoken just yet.'

'When I got back [to my hotel room] I picked up a bottle of Johnny Walker Black, had a couple and went to sleep.'

On what prompted him to drink that day:

'That day of the event I was really down. My other son and daughter in Barbados, Samantha and Jamie, were not invited and they were on my case about it and making me feel bad and guilty. Cousins and everybody on the other side was invited but why wasn’t Jamie and Samantha there? It wasn’t the first time either. I got really down and depressed and that was basically why I started drinking that day.'

Explaining how he got arrested in Barbados for public drunkenness:

'I [was at a bar and] said 'sweetheart all I need is my change back, and I was getting loud, I see her hold up her hand and her management [came over] and then the police, took me. Me and my big mouth again. Next morning I went to a magistrate and he said 30 days in prison or 30 days in rehab which do you want? and I said ‘rehab’.'

On the $58K rehab that Rihanna sent him to, to clean himself up:

'It was just the first three days (I didn’t like) other than that I was at a resort. I went to the classes and state my opinion, and people listen to me for some reason. Four of us used to hang out, one guy and the two actors, the rest of the people were kids. It was an experience, I ended up meeting some very good people there and we share a friendship up to this day.'

'It was a good thing and I was off the alcohol for a long time. She came to visit and we talked. She asked me if it was hard. She was happy to see me, said she was very proud of me at the time. She sent bags of stuff for me, tracksuits, warm jackets and shampoo, an extra pair of shoes and slippers – some nice stuff.'

'I don’t see myself as an alcoholic, I don’t realise when I get that drunk. Call me a drunk or alcoholic in denial, whatever you want to call me but I have realised I could drink or not drink. I only start[ed] drinking, once I come back here in December.'

'I feel bad because I let her down because she spend all that money putting me in rehab, [and] then find me drunk somewhere. It is not good. What can I say but I’m sorry. It’s me who f**ed up.'

On Rihanna being USED by her friends:

'What’s the name of that place, that very expensive place, Harrods. We going in there and I just see her friends, stocking up on shoes like crazy. Parasites - whatever you want to call them - that need to go and have their own life.'

On Rihanna's best friend Melissa:

'If it was me she would have to go, if I had anything to do with it she would have to go. She’s the one who goes shopping and everything. I think Melissa should be old enough to be able to stand on her own two feet, of course come and visit her like the rest of her friends but she doesn’t need to be there all the time. Monica says "but she helps Robyn pack her bags", I said "Melissa don’t pack no bags sweetheart, I know that, so don’t give me that. I’ve been in the house." I said that’s a joke.'

On Rihanna and Chris Brown's relationship:

'I don’t know what their relationship is now. At the basketball, they just said "hi and hello". When we was going to the car park he was trying to talk with her but she turned and was talking to somebody else, so he came and talked to me and I had a picture with him. Afterwards Robyn said, "dad you really taking pictures with he though?"(sic).'

'Let her do what she wants to do. This recycling thing don’t work for everything, people don’t ask me if I could go back with Ms Fenty. Chris is a player, he ain’t ready for no one women yet, he ain't ready. He’s a party guy. When I see in the papers he’s in trouble, I think "Chris what the hell are you doing man?" The guy has got so much talent you know what I mean, to just screw up like that. He can draw, he can do anything, man you give it to Chris he can do it great. He’s so talented.'
