Just a day after an interview with Chris Brown's father appeared on People.com, the magazine has published an interview with Rihanna's father, Ronald Fenty.

Fenty reportedly told the magazine that when he first heard about her alleged altercation with Chris Brown, "I didn't believe it. I know my daughter," he said, adding about Brown, "You think you know somebody, but you really don't."

The alleged incident took place before the Grammy Awards last Sunday. Brown was arrested and released on bail; Rihanna is reportedly cooperating with police.

"At some point, she will speak out," he added. "I hope she will stand up for women all over the world."

Fenty said Rihanna is currently spending time with girlfriends in Barbados. Although he said he wouldn't tell his daughter what to do, he added, "If it were me, I'd move on."

Fenty said the last time he had seen Rihanna and Brown together was in July. "They seemed pretty happy," he said. "I don't know what went wrong."

On Friday, the magazine published an interview with Brown's biological father, Clinton Brown.

"He's reflecting on this situation," Brown said of his son. "He's very remorseful. He's very concerned about the situation and he wants to make sure that [Rihanna's] OK. This is unfortunate, this stumble, this situation," Brown added. "Hopefully, he will get past it. We all have our shortcomings. We all trip."

MTV will air "Chris Brown & Rihanna: Love in Trouble" Monday, February 16, at 6 p.m. ET/PT.

"To fans friends on family. My baby is here — happy valentines!" M.I.A.'s post reads.

"Sunday nite I came home from the still in the mood to party, I coulda easily gone out but I went home instead, lucky i did!! Coz my early stage labour kicked in around 2 a.m.," the post continues.

"My baby was born Wednesday, he is healthy, fine, beautiful and the most amazing thing ever on this planet, of course I'm his mum!!!

"Me and baby are putting our tour dates for 2010 together, and making mixtapes, and figuring out a way to break out of the hospital!"

"Hopefully the world is been ticking along and i ain't missed much!" the post concludes.

M.I.A.'s pregnancy was the source of much speculation before the Grammys, as the day of the show was her due date. However, she performed "Swagga Like Us" with Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, T.I. and Kanye West without incident.

She is scheduled to perform at the Oscars on Sunday, February 22, where she is nominated for her contribution to the "Slumdog Millionaire" soundtrack.
