Rita Ora Resigned From Billboard

Rita Ora Resigned From Billboard - British singer Rita Ora has filed a lawsuit against Jay Z's label, Roc Nation. Basically, she wants out. According to Billboard and The Wrap, the pop star (and judge on the U.K. version of The Voice) filed a complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court stating the recording agreement she signed in 2008 at the age of 18 with Roc Nation violates California law and is unenforceable.
In the suit, Ora states she wants out of her contract having been "orphaned" from Roc Nation, a "diminished" record label with "only a handful" of "superstar artists." She also claims Jay Z's focus has turned to other pursuits, from his sports agency to Tidal (which recently debuted 12 new songs from Prince).

"When Rita signed, Roc Nation and its senior executives were very involved with her as an artist," the complaint reads. "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."

Ora also claims she's become a one-woman pop star machine, shelling out for her own recording costs, videos and TV appearances.
