‘Stifling my career’: Rita Ora is SUING Jay Z’s label Roc Nation

While it seems that Rita Ora has been around forever, she has only in fact ever released one album and that was back when she burst on the scene in 2012. 

And now, she seems to be filling her time as a judge on popular talent contest shows such as The Voice UK and the X Factor. 

However, we may now have a reason as to why she does not seem to be doing much on the music stakes. 

According to Billboard magazine, it has been reported today that Rita has just filed a lawsuit against her label Roc Nation over claims that they are "stifling her career." 

Rita, who is in contract with Jay-Z's label until 2019, says that the company is sitting on a number of tracks that are yet to be released. 

In the suit, Rita claims to have been "orphaned" by the label after they turned their primary interests from music management to sports management. 

"When Rita signed, Roc Nation and its senior executives were very involved with her as an artist,” the complaint reads.

“As Roc Nation’s interests diversified, there were fewer resources available and the company suffered a revolving door of executives. Rita’s remaining supporters at the label left or moved on to other activities, to the point where she no longer had a relationship with anyone at the company."

While Rita is waiting to be able to release her US debut album which is apparently ready to go, she is funding all of her own projects, TV performances and shows. 

We hope this all gets sorted out so we can get some more of her catchy pop tunes on the air asap.
