Next February, the ‘Young Single and Sexy’ Rita Ora will storm movie theatres worldwide with her role in Universal’s film adaptation of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey.’

On course to release her US debut LP before that, this week saw the singer reflect on her success in music, film and fashion during an interview with ‘Europa Press’, revealing that she could not have prepared for the monumental winning streak she now fronts.

Her explanation below…

I didn’t expect anything. I’ve been raised to work at my own craft. My parents worked really hard to raise us, so our morals have always been that if you want something to do, do it yourself. I’m forever grateful for Jay Z, he gave me a chance to live my dreams and be a singer! I didn’t expect it, but I took it with both hands and I listened and I was a sponge, I absorbed it. I can’t believe it!

We know why we love her, so we ask you….

Why do you think Rita has been so successful?

  6. Truth Mixologist July 4, 2014

  7. Dem Lessors July 4, 2014

    Lol, you buy your songs to number 1 in the UK and you buy yourself appearances at top award shows where no one knows who you are. Your ‘success’ is an illusion and it all comes with a price tag straight out of Blue’s inheritance! This forced B**** is mad!

  8. The Lamb July 4, 2014

      Yet you left out the most important part, the part where we kicked your asses! What what, in the b***, you half-wit.

      • Dem Lessors July 4, 2014

  11. ontherun July 4, 2014

  12. Basic bxtches July 4, 2014

    Girl what success are u talking about? You ain’t got no platinum single in USA. You ain’t got no platinum album in USA. What success are u talking about. You are just a Rihanna wannabe. You is a basic bxtch.

  13. I.D. July 4, 2014

    Gotta count the (very little) blessings you have, I guess…..

  14. Timago July 4, 2014

    “I Didn’t Expect My Success.”

    Did you get those pus$y warts removed yet, Rita Whora??

    Keep on flopping, ho. Keep on flopping.

  15. Kayla C July 4, 2014

    She’s more successful than all u fem ass men on this site, miserable ass feMALEs

  16. Im Booked July 4, 2014

    I Bet She Did Take It With Both Hands, & Absorb It Like A Sponge!
    Typical Whora…

  17. GoodMusicLover July 4, 2014

    The ONLY reason I know Ms. Whora is because of her affiliation with Rob Kardashian and of course because this blog posts about her daily. Sweet Brown is more successful tbh

  18. truth July 4, 2014

    The only success this ran through h-o has had is taking 3 diccks at once. One in her mouth, one in her a$$, and one in her p****.

  19. Lorde Loves July 4, 2014

    She’s a nobody outside of the UK.

  20. Gia July 4, 2014

    Success in making yourself…delusional.

  21. Kim Kardashian Stan July 4, 2014

    This chick must really think she’s on Bey or Rihs level when she’s not even on Ciaras.

    • Kii July 4, 2014

      You can say the same thing about Kim Kardashian’s damaged and worn out pussay

  22. Madonna’s Fan July 4, 2014

    Success to me is earning the appreciation and respect of people around you and earning what you have with lots of hard work and while being fair and just, and being able to bring meaningful, positive change to your fans.

    It’s not 100% financial fulfilment or awards. Making tons of money is often understood (misunderstood rather) as success but we live in a capitalist world after all.

    I’m not sure what is she referring to….

    • ~The Arcade~ July 4, 2014

      I believe what she is referring to is her popularity… you know constantly being on blogs *cough…TGJ…cough* who’s she’s linked to, typical top 40 pop charts blah blah blah this will eventually become overbearing in the UK.

  23. Britney Stan July 4, 2014

    Black widow will flop because of rita

  24. Rosie July 4, 2014

    Of course she didn’t expect her success because she probably expected more.

  25. Beysus July 4, 2014

    Rihannas understudy…

  26. shauwndapooh July 4, 2014

    When you make basic generic music??? How are you surprised

  27. hmm July 4, 2014

    Rita gets so much hate for no reason at all. I don’t care for her music, because her voice doesn’t match it. Rita should’ve went the Pop/R&B and minus the EMD/Pop crap that passes for music nowadays.
    I’m pretty sure Okra has more coins in her bank account than most people who hate on her.
    She needs to switch her style up though.

  28. Julian July 4, 2014

    SHE TROLLIN??? THE MOST SUCCESSFUL THING YOU’VE DONE ALL CAREER IS RIP ZAC EFRON’SS SHIRT OFF – WOULD RATHER EAT RAZORS THAN LISTEN TO HER S*** MUSIC – BYE

  29. Rihanna #1 fan t July 4, 2014

    when you start selling Rihanna and Beyonce numbers that’s success…

    so what success does she speak of ? (joebudden voice)
