Rihanna's troubled childhood

Rihanna's childhood was quite tragic and the singer faced many troubles growing up. She grew up with her father having intense drinking issues, being a drug addict and not being financially stable. In an interview, Rihanna spoke of her being terrified of her father who once punished her and slapped her very hard for staying 10 extra minutes on the beach.

The singer dealt with her father's broken marriage and damaged relationships with his children. She also spoke of her father molding her into a strong woman and teaching her to be independent from a very young age. Rihanna, along with her father, sold hats, belts, and scarves at one point for survival.
