Rita Ora‘s legal wrangle with Roc Nation has finally reached a settlement.
As reported, the ‘Body On Me’ belter took the Jay Z imprint to court last December for stifling her music career.
According to docs filed in Los Angeles, the 25-year-old argued that the company’s increasingly diversified business dealings had an adverse affect on the release of her album – which has yet to hit retail.
Her team asserted that the Roc’s move into sports management and its emergence as its own label (under the Universal umbrella) effectively left her – as a Sony Music artist – orphaned. She added that she would regularly finance recording sessions with her own money earned from the various ventures she’s involved in thanks to her management. A separate entity from Roc Nation.
Interestingly, the company slapped a countersuit on Ora – claiming that it is they who are owed money (over $1 million) for their investment in her. A move Ora’s team played down after insisting that Jay Z had personally agreed to grant the singer her release. They added, at the time, that the countersuit was merely a strategic play to cover backs – at both Roc and Sony, who jointly released her music.
Whatever the case, the issue now appears to be resolved.
Details below…
The following notice has appeared on the website for the US Court:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Plaintiff, Roc Nation LLC, and defendant, Rita Ora, have reached a settlement in the above-captioned action. The parties anticipate filing of the Stipulation of Discontinuance of this action with prejudice within 105 days.
It lends support to reports that the matter has been settled and that Ora is on the cusp of signing a major deal with Warner – home to Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran.
Folk often have a lot to say about Rita, but with the mess now mopped up, surely it’s only fair to see what she comes with before judging?
Truth be told, we’ve always wondered how viable it was ever going to be for her to blow with a company that housed a name she was compared to endlessly.
Now, at least, she’s afforded a blank slate and a team whose job it’ll be to ensure she shines without worrying about how to not make her conflict with Roc’s prized ‘Diamond.’
In any case, we’re buzzed. Are you?

GOOD. NOW SHE CAN CONTINUE FLOPPING PEACEFULLY.
“I Will Never Let You Down” is ? hopefully now she can make more songs like that.
That’s because it was a Calvin Harris song and he snatched her rights to preform it after they split. She’s talentless, lez be honest.
I forgot all about this girl.
That was quick. But do she really think Warner will be any better? She’s just gonna flop over there to.
The music industry is a shady business. Jay has a history with being shady we’ve been hearing this for years. Hopefully she can do what she pleases with her music instead of a label who focuses on certain artist and put her on hold. This girl can sing
It’s not Jay Z or Beyoncé fought that this girl scant sell a record. A record company invest money into promoting a artist and if that artist is flopping like Rita, then the return profit won’t match the promo dollars they spent on her.
I don’t ever recall ROC nation really promoting her like she does herself. ROC pushes rih and ye Rita was only known really to sing to the label and snap a few pics with the carters.(never did I mention bey she has nothing to do with this)
What promo money are they spending on her again?
How is she a flop with only one album released which was in 2012 she has music but no album. If she was such a flop they would’ve just dropped her like he did t Mari remember she was the first lady of roc before rih but because that second album didn’t do well she was dropped. Its favoritism boo. All labels do it. All them people on cash money and you only hear from drake nick and Wayne its all a game
Boo all roc nation did was promote this girl don’t be delusional.
You a re delusional this girl got more promo
Than some household names in the industry ever had. she was on every awards show every talk show she had endorsements, and movie role,she had a high profile relation with Calvin Harris she performed at the Oscars for God sake Jay Z personnally toured the radio with her to launch her first single.
Say what you want about Roc Nation but to say that they didn’t give that girl promo it just being delusional.
That was album one. She’s paying herself to promote herself. I’m pretty sure album number 2 is done for her but her label won’t push it. Y’all just in the clouds
She’s going to be blacklisted so she might as well give it up.
Y’all call it flop if your PR and label don’t back you. Yes you gonna fail these record labels are dirty. Until you’ve been in this industry you have no idea how hard it is and when the people who sign you play favoritism then actually trying to push all the artist you get situation like this
You’re blaming this all on the label like they didn’t continuously shove this girl down our throats.
Where’s the music??? Not features on other people songs. Her music is you push the image but no music. She didn’t even get the same writers. The girl most def puts in work as far as work ethic she just needs the right people behind he . Jay only worried about him bey rih and ye
Nobody know who she is, they didn’t have the time to promote her as well as bridget kelly.
#RiRiVooDoo This girl been a flop, but even Roc Nation gave up as soon when Rihanna came in. It must hurt when Rita hears this song on the radio.
.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybo4QvKVHoE
And I told y’all that Chris Brown song would not work. Because he been on everone and their mother songs, plus he was with Tinahse and that Zyn girl. 3 mixed girls at the same time, no stand out.
That mess was dated af sis. That was the problem. It was a no air reject
Don’t talk about your fave like that. Giving me Molly T’s
Jay Z is just not as great as a business man as they try to make him.
He made that h** you stan for a star. So he has to have some type of magic.
You been Rihanna’s voice, ability to match every sound, ear for hits and LA Reid giving her creative control made her. With every Kanye, J.Cole and Rihanna, there’s a 100 Memphis Bleek, Tearria and Ritas under his belt.
I’ve been saying this all along. Diddy, now that’s a business man.?☕️
Shut up Molly
That Natalie Stan is such a kii. Everyone forgot about all of the 183849 flops she stands for from week to week. Keep clinging to floplena, who’s currently flopping w that new single.
No one even uses you, continue hiding on small post, sis
TF sis? Why would I care if a gravatarless troll like you uses me? You stay hiding behind random names bc your b**** a$$ stays being weak af.
Can’t sell, but can suck a diiiiccckk though. She should’ve tried p***.

Girl all that talk and no action. Didn’t you say the same thing to my good sistren Annalise and never sent her your coordinates? Guhlll bye, go bump them gums on my DÍCK
As if you bummy rat ass b****** could even afford a flight to come see me. Broke høes couldn’t even afford a $65 RT ticket with spirit. Kii. Girl gone.
Girl right? Scalp it
Goooorl those n** cases are textbook definitions of PRESSED.
LMAO recycling Rihnavy’s Spirit-Airlines drag are we? And not you talking about RT tickets!! B***** book yourself a one-way ticket to London to see about me! Trust me you won’t be returning!
LMAO I CAN’T @ClítSoldier cosigning Jackie, when just a few weeks ago she was saying that Jackie and @Møldy were the same person. LMAOOO weak ass HEAUX!!!
Hunty, if I were to fly out to London it wouldn’t be to see your dusty, broke ass. *throws wet wipes at your bum ass*
KIIII is that your way on punking out? LMAOO smart move b*tch… smart move!!!!!!
B**** please! If I were going to London, I would be posted up in a fabulous suite in the Waldorf. Maybe you could be my housekeeper. That way I can smack the s*** outta you as you scrub my toilet. B****.
YAWN!!! Are you down or what, I have the body-bag waiting 4 u hunnie!! ???? I’m waiting on you at the doh’ ??
Oh you so gangsta huh?! Kii. Girl bye. I have a hefty trash bag for your GARBAGE ass.
And you ain’t nothing but a punk-ass Bítch that runs his mouth and has nothing to show for it! All you hœz can get to know me!!! ??? ✈️✈️??
Melanie Fiona and Bridget Kelly, now they are two artists that ROC NATION didn’t promote, Jay took Rita around radio stations and put her name out there but unfortunately nobody in the us were interested in her musically but more in her romances and lifestyle.
People automatically think that if someone can sing they deserve success, look at Nicole Sherzinger she’s been chasing solo success for years and has failed. Fame is just one of those things.
Of all the people to be OBSESSED with, @ChavSoldier picks @Møldy? LMFAO!!! move on sis, desperation doesn’t look good on you!
Lol at this post getting messy
.
RITA needs good boos to make it in this biz
Lol @ ‘CiMayonnaise’

SIGH!!!! LOL @ the delusions. @CRACKIE you need to look deep inside and find out why you’re constantly angry, negative and pressedT! You leave nothing but negative pointless bulls*t, and you get dragged so much that I’m starting to think you enjoy it! You’re a sick sociopathic fatherless faaggot, and you need all the help you can get tbh!!!
GTFOH Iyanla. You need to look deeper inside of that ass when you’re fleeting. Your pimp is tired of you leaving brown paint everywhere.
Damn Jacqueline, yo $3.99 discount wig has to be tired by now from all these excessive daiky yanking from everyone 😀

Honey, the only Prep I’m familiar with is the prepatory school I attended in my high school years. Just because you b****** are nicknamed “Burning Bush” doesn’t mean everyone else is affected.
@Annalise, your impact though >>>>???⚰⚰??? YASSSS GATHER THE GIRLS
LMAO is that the best you can do @JACKED-OFF-CØCK??? All you do is recycle everyone else’s comments and rearrange the sentence structure to act like your ‘dragging’. I’m bored of your antics!! And I can’t at you bragging about prep school, LMBO you’re basic af!!!
So bored that you respond to me in every post possible along with your alter ego RihGayvy? Kii sis you’re not fooling anydamnbody. You talk a good game, but ain’t about that life. Girl diiieeeee.
YAWNNNN! you’re seriously off your game! Other than yesterday, I haven’t interacted with your old basic ass for WEEKS! You’re tired and predictable. You do the same ol’ recycling ‘drags’ nonsense, and then when that fails you start calling people “trolls”.. as if you’re not the biggest troll on here. I have no use for you anymore. GO HANG YOURSELF!

AND like I have said 929292 times before, I’d really LOVE to see a receipt of me trolling! Unlike you, I have ONE personality, and I’m perfectly fine slaughtering you under this ONE name!
But here you are sis, giving Jackie your blood, sweat and tears! You LIVE for me. Your dedication to me is astounding! B**** find a man (outside of your pimp and dirty crackhead clientele) and a LIFE then maybe you wouldn’t be so pressed. #GoodDickCanHealAnything
And yet, you too, are here OBSESSING over me and leaving just as many comments as I am! If Good d*ck can heal anything then why is your ass still split in half from your drug-dealer-pimp? #FixDatBody!! #FixDatFace!!
