The lawsuit states the singer's father and his business partner made erroneous bookings including a $15 million tour in Latin America, two concerts at Staples Center in Los Angeles, and T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for $400,000.

She also alleges Ronald Fenty falsely claimed to run the business offers by Rihanna's label, Roc Nation.

The documents state Rihanna is not involved with the company and, “Although Mr. Fenty is Rihanna’s father, he does not have, and never has had, authority to act on Rihanna’s behalf.”

With the lawsuit, Rihanna is asking for an injunction against her father and unspecified damages.
