Original Story (December 17, 2015):
As Jay Z continues to make moves expanding his empire, there’s one artist who isn’t too thrilled about it, British singer Rita Ora.
On Thursday (December 17th), the 25-year-old filed a complaint against Jay Z’s Roc Nation label claiming that the company has not been taking care of her since it expanded into sports management and other interests.
According to sources, the “Body On Me” singer originally signed with Roc Nation back in 2008, when she was 18 years old. Now that it’s been seven years since, she can potentially invoke California’s “seven year rule,” since she now resides in California.
Rita also claims that she has been “hamstrung” after the label switched partners from Sony to Universal in 2013.
Stick around as we bring you the latest on Rita Ora and Roc Nation, until then, we’re wishing them the best.
Who in their right mind being in close association & partners with Jay-z & Beyonce, their management in connection with Rihanna, access to Nicki Minaj, Madonna, etc…deals with Rock Nation, Tidal, Parkwood etc…all building great successes, becoming more & more powerful…who in their right mind would just up & file, because you feeling some kind of way? That’s dumb, unloyal and UN-American. Oh that’s right, she’s British. Nevermind
