*Rita Ora is again pushing back against the notion that she was the inspiration behind Beyonce’s “Becky with the good hair” line in her track “Sorry.”
When the lyrics were mentioned to her again in a recent interview, the singer again insisted she did not have a relationship with Bey’s husband Jay-Z, her former label boss.
But this time, she offered what she sees as proof that she couldn’t possibly be Becky.
“If I were Becky with the good hair, wouldn’t I actually have to have good hair? Look at it. It’s all weave and extensions,” she told Britain’s Sunday Times.
Rita also said she has far too much respect for Beyonce to even consider entertaining her man.
“Nobody can ever say anything wrong about that woman in front of me. I get emotional just talking about it,” she said.
Rita was signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation record label a decade ago, but has since quit the company and joined the folks at Atlantic Records. Things got testy between the two, and Rita suggests their feud would’ve been different if she were a man.
“I want to find the right word here, and maybe this is my interpretation, but I do feel I got discriminated against because I was a woman,” she said. “I almost felt – maybe this is just my interpretation – I could have had a better chance if I’d been male.”
While she’s back on good terms with Jay-Z, calling him “very cordial” when she bumped into him recently, she’s now made her older sister Elena her business manager – with the pair sharing similar views of how they see her future in the industry.
“To be honest, I’d always wanted to become a household name (not just a pop singer), that was my dream,” she explained. “My sister and I, we argue like crazy all the time, but we’re very proud of what we’ve done up to this point.”
