British singer Rita Ora has social media going crazy this weekend. The Internet is reacting and clashing over speculation about the international musician being mixed with Black.
Rita Ora’s Ethnicity
Over the past few hours, Twitter has ignited with tons of mixed reactions to Rita’s background. While most folks said they knew she wasn’t Black, others accused her of trying to fake her connection to the African American culture.

I can speak only for myself. I always knew Rita ora white. Her parents fled Kosovo during the ethnic cleansing of (my history knowledge shaky this might b pathy) Muslims by serve and was it also vice versa ? Basically three diff ethnic groups all fighting wat was formerly Yugoslavia is now I think Bosnia, Serbia and .. darn iono rlly .. afta world war one and/or two the winners divided up losers countries, n stuff. Anyways that area is eastern-ish Europe I believe,, so nope. It is unlike but possible still, she has anything other than European heritage.
But….. Roc & other labels & who knows, herself? Or nah ? Maybe marketing led ppl in the u.s. to assume she black.
But I can’t say. All I know is wat I know
