Just drop the album. No one's checking for it now, and no one will be checking for it in Q2 next year, so she might as well throw it out there.

Is she ever going to release a second album? lol. Plethora of shady opportunities aside, I really think she got majorly thrown off course when Calvin blocked all their work together. That was at least half her album and probably most of the planned singles. So this is a delay I'm willing to give her a pass for because she had to start all over in a way, and possibly threw Poison and Body On Me out just to see if those were directions worth pursuing. But yeah she's gonna flop on this side of the pond regardless.

The industry is all just a pile of shit in the end, isn't it? I hope things work out for her. The seven year rule is hard to balance - there is a fine line between not releasing material that the label objectively finds unmarketable, and holding an artist hostage when she's clearly been making efforts to record material the label will find acceptable. I am pretty sure she works with who RN lines her up with so I doubt we have a case of a 'temperamental' artist going off on her own and making subpar material by label standards. But I'm also sure that RN will insist they've upheld their end of the bargain by releasing the one album and smattering of singles after that. There track record is pretty sh!t She was one of the first artists signed to the label along with J. Cole but even he said that he had to fund damn near everything. Almost everything Jay actually touches, business-wise, eventually turns to dust. He is ostensibly good at brokering deals and spotting potential money-makers, but long-term business planning is just not his thing. I saw someone once compare him to Stringer Bell, a surprisingly apt comparison when you think about it.

Rita Ora's Topless Lui Cover Is Totally Scandalous And Very NSFW#FreeTheNipple 01/28/2016 04:58 pm ET Carly Ledbetter Entertainment Writer, The Huffington Post As Rita Ora would say, "R.I.P. to the girl you used to see ... " The British singer bares all on the latest issue of French Magazine Lui, shot by infamously icky photographer Terry Richardson. Clad in a black leather skirt, open denim T-shirt and little else, Ora flashes a bright smile at the camera with her signature red lips. The magazine shared the cover on its Instgram. . The magazine also tweeted out a totally topless photo of the star (#FreeTheNipple) that you can see below. Rihanna also famously posed topless for the same magazine in 2014. Ora has taken heat for going nearly nude at certain performances, but the singer told The Hollywood Reporter in 2015 that it doesn't bother her to bare all. "My new single is called 'Body on Me,' and it's about your body and feeling comfortable in who you are, so I thought, 'I would wear the same thing at home with my friends, why not do it at my own concert?'" The entertainer insisted to THR that it all boils down to being comfortable. "Miley is the main supporter of that message of being comfortable in your own skin. Madonna started it," Ora said. "Artists who are willing to do it only come along once in a blue moon." WARNING, NSFWThe censored and completely uncensored photos of Rita on the cover of the magazine can be viewed on The Huffington Post.

What a surprise! I knew she was into implied topless, but not this. Keeping my fingers crossed for a racier Charli XCX shoot—not necessarily in the same magazine, but you catch my drift.

There have been reports that Rita did bottomless photos as well and they may or may not be released because Rita doesn't like how she looks in them. I hope it's not a case of Terry getting her to lose her inhibitions (and her clothing) and then she got carried away and then regrets exposing so much.

This has been one of the biggest bombshells in celeb nudity in recent memory, outside of say Miley and the whole Fappening deal.

LOLOLOL and & gone at this being a bombshell. Like, does anyone expect anything less from Oral at this point? She has to drum up attention somehow. Besides, it's not like the pics were leaked (although, even if they were, I would just suspect it was a deliberate, self leak anyway). It was a cover shot for a magazine LOL.

I'm just saying while she likes to show it off, I didn't think she would go that far. So that's the bombshell I was implying. Yes, Uncle Terry shot the photos, but not everyone who shoots for him are like, "Oh, yeah, I'll take it off and show the goods." They probably tell him that upfront before any shoot. In Rita's case, she's more like let the chips fall where they may.

Besides, it's not like the pics were leaked (although, even if they were, I would just suspect it was a deliberate, self leak anyway). It was a cover shot for a magazine LOL. For real! She's not the first or last celebrity to do topless or full frontal for a European publication. Lets not forget that she's not an American girl and nudity and vulgar behavior to us is very acceptable across the pond. As of now, she just needs to say "screw the American market." The girl actually has clout in the UK and all of Europe and just needs to focus her energy there. If something stick here, okay do it, but if not she still has a core audience that will accept her music. I hope the lawsuit goes will with Roc Nation because she does have a point. J. Cole did it on his own and has become successful, Rihanna is not an original member and she already had her crowd. Only 6 albums have been released under the label besides JAY-Z and 3 of those are from J. Cole. You get this girl with somebody that can focus on her and she could be something. She already has the print world going crazy and that was her own doing.

I wanna root for the underdog and she doesn't seem to be a bad person, just...vulgar. Let's be real, she's probably a lot more pleasant than Rihanna and I love Rihanna.

Rita Ora Parts Ways With Roc Nation, Signs With Warner MusicRita Ora and Jay Z's Roc Nation have officially parted ways, following a lawsuit filed last year describing an "orphaned relationship" between the British singer and the label, which issued a counterclaim a month later. A source confirms to Billboard that Ora has signed with Warner Music, though specifics of the deal have not been disclosed. Requests to Roc Nation for confirmation of a settlement between Ora and the company were not returned. Ora's legal team filed a suit in December in Los Angeles Superior Court seeking a break from a five-album recording contract she signed in 2008. She had accused the company of a "diminished" status with "only a handful of admittedly worthy heritage superstar artists" in its roster, and that said she felt increasingly neglected as the company began diversifying into sports management and other endeavors. Roc Nation responded a month later with a cross-complaint, arguing that it spent over $2.3 million recording and promoting Ora's debut release, 2012's Ora, and that she was in breach of her contract for not producing four more albums. Roc Nation Files Counterclaim Against Rita Ora -- But Ora's Attorney Says Out-of-Court Settlement Is Near Despite the contentious tone of the lawsuits, Ora's attorney Howard King told Billboard at the time that Jay Z had called the singer shortly after she filed suit to ensure her that a release was imminent and that the matter would be settled out of court. "We're in the process of finalizing those details," he said. "[Jay Z] could not have been more gracious." Ora signaled a new era for her career in a Snapchat post over the weekend. In it, the singer shares a photo of two pieces of paper with smiley-faced suns covering them, along with the caption "Contract time!!"
