Shining a light on the issue, the complaint stated, “When Rita signed, Roc Nation and its senior executives were very involved with her as an artist. 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."
Ora’s lawsuit branded Roc Nation as a “diminished” record label with “only a handful of admittedly worthy heritage superstar artists”, whilst the singer has presented herself as “orphaned” by the ‘Big Pimpin’ boss’ label.
The pop star has only released one album since her signing in 2008, despite being creating multiple additional records for release. Seven years since her signing, Ora is using the ‘Seven Year Rule’ in an attempt to leave the label. Courtney Love and Thirty Seconds to Mars also invoked this rule.
"Rita's relationship with Roc Nation is irrevocably damaged," Ora’s attorney Howard King. "Fortunately for Rita, the California legislature had the foresight to protect its artists from the sorts of vicissitudes she's experienced with Roc Nation."
In other news, Ora has embraced Christmas spirit by performing Mean Girls’ ‘Jingle Bell Rock’.
