Rita Ora Sues Roc Nation

Apparently it's been rough for British singer Rita Ora since she's been signed to Jay Z's label, Roc Nation. The Voice UK coach recently filed a lawsuit against the company in an attempt to break free from them, being she feels "orphaned" from the team entirely.

The complaint - made in California - reads: "When Rita signed, Roc Nation and its senior executives were very involved with her as an artist. 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." Jay Z's TIDAL streaming service and sports management business were distinctly pointed out when it came to "Roc Nation's interests" diversifying in recent months.

On Ora's behalf, Attorney Howard King continued on with the complaint, stating "Rita's relationship with Roc Nation is irrevocably damaged. Fortunately for Rita, the California legislature had the foresight to protect its artists from the sorts of vicissitudes she's experienced with Roc Nation." Rita Ora is currently seizing on the "seven year rule," a California Labor Code ruling an artist cannot "be subject to a contract to perform personal services beyond seven years from the beginning of the deal."

Ora claims she has been "self-funding her promotional television appearances, recording costs and video projects" for quite some time.
