Last week, the singer/actress Rita Ora took to Twitter to announce that she would release new music from her forthcoming US debut album if a message she posted on the website received 100,000 retweets.
An easy task when one considers the star’s 4 million followers, right? Wrong.
For, after said message only scored 2,000 retweets, it soon emerged that Ora hadn’t been behind the original message at all, hacked by a someone who seems to have hoped to leak hew new material…with her own account.
Today, the entertainment website ‘BuzzFeed‘ have revealed just why the hacker had been an unsuccessful in his or her leaking endeavours.
Details below…
After a number of Twitter users mocked claims that she had actually been hacked, Ora soon found her account thrown under the microscope by ‘Buzz’, who uses ‘Twitteraudit’ to reach the following conclusion:
Many celebs buy fake followers to boost their numbers, and Ora may be guilty: Twitteraudit.com says she has 1.3 million spam followers.
However, should one make their way to ‘Twitteraudit‘ now, they’ll find that though 1.366,326 of the singer’s followers are in fact spam accounts, 2,582,593 are real, giving her a positive score of 65%.
This, according to the website, makes her follower count more “real” than it is “fake.”
Yassss TGJ! The haters are gonna run in here trying to hate but they will be clocked and shocked.
“Her followers are more real than they are fake.”
I’m Just Going To Leave This Here:

*sips tea*
Do U know how much 100k retweets is?
Has that ever been done ?
Kim k has 20mil followers and only averages 30k
So most of her followers ARE real? TGJ better hit em with the truth tea.
Truth tea or sour tea? What does it say about her relevance if she was 2 million real people following her but not even a 10th of them care about her music enough to rt her.
Samantha, you’re late with this story the T has been clockT #ByeFelicia
Ooops, Davdtina
You know he had to run in and defend his friend.
This makes it even worse though. She has all those followers and only 2,000 of them cared?
Oh the humanity!! Lmao!!
Totes embarrassing 2bh.
You can lowkey tell David is mad that she’s not killing it how he thought she would. Wasn’t she supposed to be the new Rihanna?
Do you remember how much time they spent trying to break her on here and getting dragged for it, hell I’d be pissed too. At least their other fave Iggy got a number one.
I’m convinced that they’re the reason Iggy and Rita have the same management IAH, or it’s just a big coincidence that the two girls they helped to break over here have the same people behind their career in Britain where Grapejuice s based.
Not this theory again. Yes David did help make Iggy relevant to black people but Fancy is what made her a household name, if he knew how to give girls international relevance why is Rita begging to get a album release date even after all these years.
So it’s a coincidence that Iggy (who nobody knew anything about in 2011/2012) started getting five or six threads a week on this site as the same time Rita was and then by pure happenstance signs with the same management company as Rita some time after?
Come on sis, it’s so clear to see what happened. Unless you’re coming to tell me David is psychic he knew what he was doing when he started shoving them down our throats at the same time.
So she does have real followers but none of them care about her music. Figures.
‘ Perhaps the singer will be able to garner more excitement for her music when she starts to seem excited about it herself.’

I guess the honeymoon is over, when your friends read you down, like this.
And over a million fake accounts is significant. That was a third of her followers.
#MessCentral
Oh shut the f*** up, TGJ loves her to bits.
They do but you know s*** is getting serious when even they have to admit she’s not taking herself seriously.
Learn to read sweetie. David spilled his frustration tea.. You mad or nah??
Rita is excited by pants pepperoni, not music…
Y’all still don’t know??
First of all Iggy would have made it with or without TGJ so let’s make that clear once and for all. Secondly Rita better get her act together cos I never thought my pretty ass would see the day when TGJ spilled the truth tea about her even in a nice way like they tried to do here.
Some of your faves can’t even get regular coverage on lower tier blogs which is why you’re so PRESSDT at Rita’s slayage on Grape. Everyone and their mom knows that Sam and David ride for her so you can stop with all that b******* talk about honeymoon periods ok? I will say this though, homegirl does need to stop hitting the clubs and make a good album for her fans.
Slayage? Oh the Hive and their delusion? I’m sure you think Beyonce still writes her own songs don’t you?
You seem really dumb. Why don’t you read my comment, or better yet the quote from this site. You clearly didn’t
if you see no shade.
If you got a problem with what I wrote, address me directly, instead of your cowardly subliminal.
Rita is too busy getting major endorsement deals to care about what the haters say, so BOOM.
Less than 1 in 1000 of her followers even cared for new music….. FIX IT JESUS!!!!
It doesn’t matter if she was hacked. The tweet itself did not get much response. If someone hacked rihanna’s account the response would be different
Hahaha, she will never break here. Even if she luckily get a hit, so? Jessie J had 3 top 40s amd her albums still flopped. Bang Bang is still in the top ten! They messed up, Jay did the opposite of what they did with Rihanna. Rihanna had no features (or at least no big names) on her first two albums. We (the core fans) got to know her. With Rita, she was in interviews with Jay, hanging with Bey, tried to BE Rihanna. You can’t fool the public. Didn’t they say she was a song writer at the beginning? But effing for beats and songs from Calvin and Drake. I really think thay Roc already gave up on here. At least she has UK success, basically making her Cheryl Cole.
Cavin harris used to only be big in the UK. THEY SAID HE AND EDM WILL NEVER MAKE IT IN THE USA. NOW LOOK.
Sadly for u and Rihanna, RITA IS GETTING HIRED BY BIG FIRMS LIKE HP, GETTING PAID 6 FIGURES TO TO HEADLINE CONCERTS ALL OVER THE GLOBE.
RITA HAS 3 COVERS THIS MONTHS VS RINHANNA’S 1. HER ADIDAS LINE SLAYED LIVES AND SHE HAS 2 MOVIES NEXT YEAR AND SOME FOR 2016.
THE JOKE IS ON YOU AND RIHANNA.
Rita Ora is wack period no matter how many followers she do or don’t have the girl sticks of thotness all of her boyfriends dog her out for being a w**** get over it, it is what it is the music is not good or remembered.
She is not interested in her career? LOL I guess they rumours about you asking for more money to blog are true. Rita does not need you to blog about her. She is on TMZ, Perez is a buddy and she is on the daily mail 5 x per day. Not to mention she SELLS COVERS hence why she BOOKS COVERS.
SO, stay mad. SHE WAS PAID OVER 1/4 MILLION BY HP THE technology firm to headline a concert in RUSSIA where SHE SANG HER MUISC. She recorded for Diana Warren for SING THAT could be at the oscars. She went to LA to film the video. She was in LA recording. WHAT MORE DO U WANT?
U SAY singers need to build a brand, well she IS THE QUEEN OF ADIDAS AND IS BACK at their studio working on new collection.
AND U SAY she is not interested in her career? So what doe stat SAY OF BRANDY, CIARA AND THEM? You let money destroy your friendship with Rita.
B**** hush. David giving his honest opinion is what she needs, all the Bots knows he wants her to win so I don’t know where you’re going with that talk of her paying for him to write about her.
looks bad. hackery fakery. lol nobody cares about celebrity twitter passwords protection. and begging for rts is like kindergarten. 2k rtpt? huh. for how many hours. world turns… who they got in the sun and on twitter. and… is that 2k an official number? and… even that could be BOTched.
stupid bit machinery. and it bytes you in the a*s. :biggrin:
Omg LMAO at the spin TGJ put on this story. So the “hackers” where trying to leak songs and needed the RTs of 100,000 people to do so, but because of Ora’s fake followers she was “saved” from music being leaked. This is the absolute MOST embarassing story I have ever read on this site. Zero journalistic integrity. That’s why this will always remain a blog and nobody will ever respect your opinions.
Bwahaha b****. They already dragged your lying ass. Hacked my back foot!
