‘We Found Love’ producer Calvin Harris may have seen global success with the hit song with its performer Rihanna, but now seems to have developed a hatred of their Roc Nation label mate Rita Ora.
For, weeks after the singer faced unproven claims that she cheated on the producer with ‘I Would’ singer Justin Bieber, she has now learned that he has blocked her from performing the #1 single he penned for her while they were together.
This, being the UK smash hit that was ‘I Will Never Let You Down.’
Why his surprising move is set to hurt Ora’s chances of cracking the US?

The Daily Mail reports:
An insider tells the MailOnline exclusively Ora was forced to pull out of her performance at Sunday’s Teen Choice Awards after Harris refused to allow her to perform their song I Will Never Let You Down.
Harris wrote and produced the track which appears on Ora’s second studio album which is scheduled for release in September.
The source described Rita as ‘heartbroken’ and ‘devastated’ at Harris’s decision to pull the plug at the last minute, just two days before her performance at the popular show.
Rubbing salt into the wound, the song penned by the star’s former beau is a love song, which as the title suggests, is about never letting someone down.
Ora, of course, feels very let down as the insider told MailOnline: ‘She had spent a considerable amount of time and energy preparing for her now cancelled performance of the song and is devastated to let her fans down in this way.
‘It is surprising that he has made such a poor choice.
‘This cruel move by bitter Calvin has impacted not only the Teen Choice Award production but the teenage fans expecting to see her perform. He’s let the teens down.’
The producer, it appears, has been calling the shots when it comes to their break up, even ensuring he was the first to announce their split.
After learning of his actions, Rita shared:
This would mark the second time Ora has been burned by an ex-boyfriend, coming two years after Reality TV personality Rob Kardashian launched a digital assault on the performer, attacking with her claims he later admitted were lies.
