palechibi 2,748 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Rita Ora, British chart-topping songstress and coach on The Voice UK, has filed a lawsuit that addresses the current state of Roc Nation and tests California's famous "seven-year rule" on personal service contracts.In a complaint filed on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, she's seeking a declaratory judgment that the recording agreement she signed in 2008 at the age of 18 with Roc Nation violates California law and is unenforceable.She's taking such action after presenting herself as "orphaned" from Roc Nation in light of the Jay-Z company's developing interest in sports management and other endeavors"When Rita signed, Roc Nation and its senior executives were very involved with her as an artist," states the complaint. "As Roc Nation's interests diversified, there were fewer resources available and the company suffered a revolving door of executives. Rita's remaining supporters at the label left or moved on to other activities, to the point where she no longer had a relationship with anyone at the company."With unmistakable references to Jay-Z's new pursuits (the streaming service Tidal is mentioned), the lawsuit paints Roc Nation as a "diminished" record label with "only a handful of admittedly worthy heritage superstar artists." Ora (now living in California) says she's on her own, "self-funding her promotional television appearances, recording costs and video projects," but she has a problem. In 2013, Roc Nation switched its distribution partner from Sony to Universal, but according to the lawsuit, she's been left behind at Sony, which she paints as "hamstrung" by Roc Nation's alleged inattention. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S0YA 1,256 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 She's always been a mess tbh 1/2 of her news when she first came out on the music scene wasn't even about her music. It was who she had beef with or just bad press in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelanatedBeauty 13,655 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Awks considering her and Rih are in the same damn boat right now. She can cosplay as her, but she didn't fuck a married man for fame. ^^ Im not rihanna's pussy so irdc and unless pics/a tape is presented of this happening after beyonce's marriage she sure didn't fuck a married man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelanatedBeauty 13,655 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 · Hidden Hidden Ring The Alarm happened and I think thats proof enough Why else would Jay take an average looking talentless girl from a third world country and sign her to a record label? Rihanna is literally a prostitute. Irdc if she is~~ not my pussy "Ring the alarm happened" so has many of her other songs are they all about rihanna? When you KNOWINGLY marry a cheater and expect not to be cheated on -stays in my third world country- YASS prossi rhenna GET THEM CHEQUES GIRL Guess we can assume bobby from iKON is gangsta then since he says it in his songs Link to comment
