Jay Z‘s music label is suing his former prot?g? Rita Ora for breaking her recording contract and failing to deliver promised albums.
The $2.4 million Manhattan civil suit filed by Roc Nation comes just six weeks after Ora sued the label in California claiming record execs pushed her aside when they started representing professional athletes.
In the new suit Roc Nation counters that it’s spent over $2 million developing and marketing the British pop singer’s still unreleased second album.
The label says the British ”X Factor” judge was supposed to deliver a total of five albums when she signed with Roc Nation in 2008, but has only put out one.
Roc Nation says it scooped up Ora, 25, when she was an “unknown singer” and “has tirelessly promoted [he] career, investing millions of dollars in marketing, recording and other costs, which was instrumental in guiding Ms. Ora to her current level of success and fame.”
The Los Angeles suit is still pending. Roc Nation says it filed the counter-suit in Manhattan because Ora’s contact specifies that any litigation between the parties must take place in New York.
Ora’s attorney, Howard King, said, “Jay Z has personally and graciously promised Rita complete freedom from Roc Nation, the details of which are now being finalized.
“We believe that Roc Nation’s distributor, Sony Music, has required Roc Nation to file this action to preserve whatever rights Sony might have pending resolution,” King said.

She's an alright singer but she has no star quality whatsoever

she has 1 album here, she should have at least established a proper fanbase like other Brits before trying for American success
She's just a blander, watered down version of Rihanna anyway
Her voice ain't all there and her music is crap

I agree
She doesn't really do it for me or anyone for that matter
What a waste of an investment

Time to find a TV host job in the UK. Buh bye.

What kind of hypocrital irony is this? lol. They are making it sound like she didnt want to release an album. What artist on earth doesnt want to release an album? :uhh:
they shoved rita and now this fucking Zendeynana girl
omg
why do i keep seeing her? i dont want to know her
wasn't Melanie on there before she left? An absolute mess
Im shaking at not even Chris being able to help this flop get a urban hit.
Almost every song he's on is a hit there. :plzstop:

Yeah, they really did try with her
No one used
I wish her the best tho
I will say they didn't have a define direction for her
I wrote like 7 songs for her debut album that was suppose to come out 2 years ago..with the producer they hand picked to do most of her album
and they called me and told me they are scraping the entire album and going in a different direction ...
It was so weird
Everything was so cohesive and such a sure HIT.. Something that could stick..
But then i started hearing some stuff they chose and the single with Chris and was stunned they would want her to go that direction
She Def didn't know herself as an artist tho
and the bitch deserves to be sued for touching Christ and having his lips on her :hmph:
if Im right, Rita only performed that Chris song once on tv. If that is heavy promotion, give me a f****** break
She actually has a nice voice, tho. Oh well
Yeah she's too similar to what's out right now

No proper single pushes
Cuz Special delivery had hit written all over it
They really played her

she had some really good songs
"In the morning" could've been a great radio song

Bridget Kelly isn't anything special either
:holdupguys:
but in interviews she stated the hold up for 2nd album was the label...something ain't right at Roc Nation they had legends like Shakira and Kylie and still fucked up! What happened to Vic Mensa as well...they had some good up coming artist who also left Melonie Fioona, Bridget Kelly, that Alexis Jordan chick who had a lil success in the UK like wtf...if you ain't Rih, Kanye or J Cole it's like you're paid dust smh..their talent management sucks for music artists
