Rita Ora ends long-standing ‘feud’ with Dua Lipa as she reveals she wants to collaborate with singer and two other female chart-toppers

Rita Ora firmly put aside rumors of a long-term feud with Dua Lipa as she revealed she wants to team up with her and two other British female chart-toppers.

The 33-year-old singer is hopeful that she, Dua, Bebe Rexha and Ava Max – who are all of Southeastern European descent – can collaborate on a new song and addressed the rivalry speculation on Amanda Hirsch’s Not Skinny But Not Fat in return for. .

Host Amanda noted that there are many Albanians in the music industry, and Rita replied, “Yes, it’s great to see. When I started in 2012, this was not yet the case.

“So now we have Dua Lipa and Bebe Rexha, and…” She was interrupted by Amanda asking if she was ever compared to them.

Rita replied, “I think it’s quite normal when people are compared to each other, especially since there aren’t many of us in that part of the world.”

Amanda then asked if they had ever been together, and Rita said, “Yes.” I did that with Ava Max and Bebe.’

She continued, “Not so much with Dua yet, but it would be great if we all did something great together. Just to represent a little bit.’

Rita and Dua are both from Kosovo and both have Albanian heritage, but their bond runs deeper because their grandfathers were friends.

However, there have been reports of a feud between the two over the years, culminating in 34-year-old Bebe, who tried to play the role of peacemaker.

Bebe told The sun in 2021: ‘I really tried. I don’t know what’s really going on there or what the drama is. I’ve always tried to be the peacekeeper and bring the girls together.

“For me, I would love to do something together, but I’m not sure if that will ever happen. And I won’t say anything else about that.’

The Americans Bebe and Ava, 29, have Albanian parents. Bebe was the first of all four women to start making music, starting in 2010. Dua and Ava both debuted in 2013.

Bebe had her biggest success in 2023 with the big hit I’m Good (Blue), while Ava had a number one in 2018 with Sweet But Psycho.

It was recently revealed that Dua will soon be Britain’s richest singer and is on track to become a billionaire by the age of 40.

Later in the episode, Rita revealed who her favorite celebrity was — and it wasn’t her director husband Taika Waititi.

She said, “You know who I’m fangirling over? Coleen Rooney. She’s a Wag, she’s married to Wayne Rooney and she’s like my idol.

“She made this incredible documentary on Disney+ and I just love her. ‘I like people who just do what they want.’
