Rita Ora is finally gearing up for her stateside debut, and she stopped by with Hot 97’s Nessa this morning to discuss the album and new single “Body On Me” featuring Chris Brown as well as that infamous A$AP Rocky diss
On her collaboration with Brown, Ora admitted she was a fan of his and had always wanted to work with the sometimes controversial R&B star. “Well we’ve wanted to work together for a while. I see Chris, I’m a fan of his music. And for that point only I was like no one can sound better on this records how I’m envisioning it than Chris," she said.
As for the song itself, Ora admitted, “I love it. I wanted women to feel sexy. It’s like a jam for the summertime.”
She also addressed that ASAP Rocky diss. Rocky had less than flattering things to say about Ora on his record “Better Things” from album At.Long.Last.A$AP, which even the rapper himself admitted was in "poor taste." Ora wasn’t about to get mad about the diss, dismissing Rocky himself.
“I’m not looking at it like ‘you’re upsetting me’ because I don’t actually give a sh*t. I think about it, and I don’t want people to think it’s OK to speak about women like that. I don’t care what you say about me. I don’t give a flying f*ck. That’s just how it is, but you know got to keep it moving. I’m very happy with what I do, and I’m proud of who I am, and what I represent,” she said.
Drama aside, Ora was all smiles when talking about her new album (which includes an Ed Sheeran collaboration), her upcoming role in the Fifty Shades of Grey sequel and the direction of her new album.
