This is interesting. Rita is suing Roc Nation, but they are releasing her from her contract and countersuing her!!

Rita has a great voice but needs better material so she may be doing right!

I don't think she's going to have a leg to stand on here though.

I feel for Rita as she basically had to scrap her whole album after the split with Calvin Harris.

As for the Rihanna feud, it's well documented that the two don't see eye to eye. Some songs intended for Rita have been snatched by Rih. Apparently Rihanna has sat on quite a few songs over the last couple of years ahead of ANTI's release blocking Rita from using them even though Rihanna hasn't ended up using them herself in the end. I doubt there's any spite in that but that's just the way it goes. Rihanna is the bigger artist so if she wants a song then she's likely to be given priority. I can understand Rita's frustration though. She's probably better off elsewhere.

Team Rita. Jay Z is a fraudulent business man.

Something similar happened with Jojo a few years ago. Her third album was ready and her label kept delaying it for like 5 years. I don't know what the outcome for that was but her third album still remains unreleased.

I don't blame Rita. I mean her second album has been in limbo for like two years. The odd single has been released but still nothing.

I've really begun to like Rita since she was on the X Factor. I think she showed a real human side to her where she had seemed very fake before.

Bad luck about breaking up with Calvin but it must have been a bad break because he (or his representatives) seem to have been very petty with her since. Surely as adults they should be able to separate business and pleasure?

Anything that can delay the awful Ora from releasing any new trash is a good thing in my eyes.

I noticed that, but it appears the counter-claim is one of those legal quirks where they have to file the claim despite everything seemingly being agreed for her release.

It's probably done so the contract release can be lodged as some kind of settlement.

Rita was really silly to sue Roc Nation. They invested so much money and time trying to make her a success in the USA and the American public were just not interested. It's also not a wise move to get on the wrong side of the Carters.

Rita's career is over.. She jumped from universal to sony and she thinks she will get away with it Tulisa tried the same sneaky move and look what happened to her and so did Chris Brown..she's about to get dragged through the mud and will be unemployable by next year.

She has no chance against JayZ and his lawyers they will wipe the floor with her.

If she had not done the dirty on Calvin she would have had an album to release. Revenge is sweet as Calvin has found out, he had the rights to the material and kept it.

Seems like karma is coming back to bite her. First she can't release Calvin's material and now she's in Jay Z's bad books.

Oh well, she can always do another tacky shoot with Terry Richardson....til she p*sses him off
