Rita Ora Praises Rihanna : “Her Work Ethic Is Hardcore”

Published: Saturday 28th Jul 2012 by David

Keep an eye on that nose Rita.

Yes, in what we’re hoping doesn’t see her catch a severe case of the Pinocchio‘s, Pop Princess Rita Ora has claimed that that she admires the work ethic of part time performer Rihanna.

Perhaps as consolation for breaking her record for being the first ROC rookie to score a UK #1 single, the fun loving belter has praised her rival by billing her work ethic ‘hard core’.

Niceties below…

Speaking to Complex magazine, she claimed:

I admire Rihanna.

She works her ass off. She hasn’t had a break and she has given people hit after hit after hit. That work ethic and discipline is hardcore. That’s the kind of sh*t that I want to do. That I will do.

On the snap above:

People were like, ‘What the f*ck’!

Everyone thought that we hated each other, but the whole thing was created by the media. That’s what’s so funny. She said, ‘Let’s just tweet this and get people mad’.

Everyone genuinely loves and cares about each other.

In an industry where it’s against one’s interests to ‘tick off’ rival fan bases ( see Aguilera‘s media portrayal following ‘Who’s Lady GaGa-Gate’) Rita’s public support of Rihanna makes sense- at least on a PR tip.

However, it’s a quote by ROC partner Tyran Smith we hope Ora keeps in mind when she next decides to compliment her competition:

Rita makes friends easily.

That’s a good thing and it’s also a bad thing.

Everybody in this business doesn’t have the best intentions, but she still thinks people are who they say they are. She’s going to take some knocks along the way and she’ll learn with time.

        @WATCH YO MOUTH…
        R&B singer Ne-Yo has come to the defence of Bajan beauty Rihanna, stating that despite her love of partying, the 24-year-old ‘We Found Love’ singer means business when she’s in the studio.
        ”She’s a workhorse,” the 32-year-old singer-producer told sources at his Compound Foundation benefit on Saturday in East Hampton.
        Ne-Yo was recently in London working with French DJ David Guetta and music producers Stargate on Rihanna’s new album.
        “I just recently went in to do some stuff for Rihanna, you know,” the ‘S*** Love’ singer exclusively told Capital FM this week.
        “She’s the hardest working woman in showbiz right now.
        ”She definately has her fun, and she parties and lives her life. But at the same time she works. She does not sleep,” he said.
        Both Ne-Yo and Rihanna collaborated on the 2007 track ‘Hate That I Love You.’
        He is currently working on her highly anticipated seventh studio album, the follow up to her 2011 Talk That Talk

    Rihanna’s Accomplishments for 2011 says it all, Rihanna id driven
    and she has loads of Raw Determination and she might not be a
    blonde with blue eyes but shes Carribbean with hazel green eyes
    and that is good enough and the next best thing. We know that
    the record keepers have documented Rihannas success story
    very well and it’s a rare thing to see so many admiring RIHANNA’S
    Success which is talked about all around the Universe…..
    PS
    Question is what will the Music Historian say about Rita’s career
    cause they or not going to use any of Rihanna’s success stories
    in Rita true Rags To Riches Stories, Bee Hive and Rihanna’s many Haters!

    • WATCH YO’ MOUFF July 28, 2012

      Agree with you, but the so-called WASHED FLOP C*** Beyonce’s accompalishments for 2011-2012 (HER LEAST SUCCESSGUL ERA) have been great too.

      1-
      She’s got a commercially successful album that reached a sales’ mark that MANY MANY “relevant, non-washed up” Top10 / #1 makers are DREAMING of.

      * It was #1 in the U.S. and Worldwide,
      * Was the 10th best selling of 2011,7th best R&B album,
      * Certified Platinum in the U.S.,sold 2.7M worldwide,
      * Won many major awards, and listed as one of the best * Albums of ALL TIME along with ICONIC ALBUMS.

      2-
      She’s had 2 Top20 hits on the World Singles Chart, 3 Top5’s on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart (with one of them being a 7-weeks #1), 4 consecutive #1’s on the Hot Dance/Club Play songs chart, and 2 Top20 hits on Billboard Hot100

      3-
      She’s had 2 successful concerts,
      One of them was sold on DVD, received Gold + Platinum certifications in the U.S., and was the 2nd best-selling musical DVD in the U.S. and worldwide.

      So, can anybody tell me where’s the IRRELEVANCE you’re talking about??????????

    She made her chart debut in June 2005 with “Pon de Replay”, which reached the top-five position in over ten countries worldwide. It was followed by the release of her debut studio album, Music of the Sun, which peaked in the top-ten on the Canadian Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200. Rihanna’s second studio album A Girl like Me was released on April 19, 2006. It spawned four singles: chart-toppers “SOS” and “Unfaithful”, as well as “We Ride” and “Break It Off”; the later featured Jamaican rapper Sean Paul. “SOS” became Rihanna’s first number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a platinum RIAA certification.

    regardless of how any of you feel towards rihanna she does have a hardcore work ethic, you people do realize that an album is not made in a few days it takes months, and rihanna has written on every album except for one, even then she goes through demos and picks what she likes she records them, and overseas her album.

    you also know how i know rihanna writes what the credits says, she writes? its becuase if she was just puting her name on it to say she wrote something she would do what other artist do and just put her name on all of her songs, not just the ones she actually writes on. which is another reason why i like her, you dont see her getting sued for taking credit for writing a song when she did actually write it and failing to pay the writers of one of the songs she took.
