Rita Ora Wants Out of Roc Nation

Rita Ora is apparently fed up with her situation over at Roc Nation. The 25-year-old singer joined the company at the young age of 18 years old. She was one of Jay Z’s first signings and feels “orphaned” by the company.
We all know Jay Z has expanded his empire via various avenues. Aside from the record label division of Roc Nation, the company also has business interests in sports management and streaming services.
The complaint 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 relationship with anyone at the company.”
It also calls Roc Nation a “diminilabel with “only a handful of admittedly worthy heritage superstar artists”.
In the crazy world of the music business, Rita’s music is still distributed by Sony although the label switched distribution partners a few years ago.
The complaint also reads: “Between Sony’s limited economic return from its orphaned relationship with Roc Nation and Sony’s indirect relationship with Rita, Rita is caught in a political quagmire of dysfunction.”
Since Rita is seven years out from her initial signing with Roc Nation, label. We will keep a close eye on this to see what transpires.
