Rita Ora Accuses Jay-Z's Roc Nation Of Some Serious Discrimination

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Rita Ora accuses her former record label Roc Nation of discrimination. Speaking with Britain's Sunday Times, Ora explained why she felt like JAY-Z's label discriminated for simply being a woman. She said: 'I want to find the right word here, and maybe this is my interpretation, but I do feel I got discriminated against because I was a woman.' Talking to the Sunday Times magazine, Rita revealed that her business manager is now her older sister Elena, and confessed to being 'proud' of their achievements together. (The Times)

A couple years ago, Rita talked about her publicized split from Roc Nation: "I'm still happy I've had this incredible experience," she said when we quizzed her on it. " Jay is one of my idols and Beyoncé is obviously the queen of life. I'll never not appreciate the experience I had with them and the things I've seen." Rita adds that Beyoncé and Jay Z have been "great mentors", which doesn't sound like there's any hostility there to me, although when asked if she's still close to the couple, she simply says "I look up to them a lot."
