I always said this and In will say it again.. I don't want Rihanna on Roc Nation. I don't like her on Roc Nation. I feel like her career will suffer because now he has so much control over her and her career. When Jay Z left Def Jam in 2007 as its President that is when Rihanna became the superstar that she is today. It wasn't Jay Z it was LA Reid. He is the one that singlehandledly made her this superstar. Jay Z had nothing to do with it but yet he took credit. Under Jay Z's wing he was trying to make her a mini Beyonce rather than carving out her own niche by doing music Beyonce doesnt do. LA Reid saw the market for a Black Pop star and capitalize off that. I just don't like the idea of her being under Beyonce's husband. Im not saying he's gonna be malicious but at the end of the day Beyonce is his wife and he wouldn't want to see any other female artist doing better than her. Thats why its a bit scary for me. I wish she would have taken her chances and move to Epic Records back with LA. He always had her best interests at heart. Def Jam as much as we hate them at times, would NEVER allow Rih to release a risky ass song like FFS and not have suitable promo lined up. They handled Rated R perfectly in my eyes with the change of material and gave her ample promo opportunities when Russian Roulette "was not what people expected".
Rita Ora was all set to release her follow-up album to 2012's self-titled offering later this year.
However fans will now allegedly have to wait until January after her ex Calvin Harris banned her from using the tracks he produced, the Daily Mirror has reported.
The 23-year-old singer - who split from the DJ in June - confirmed to the newspaper that the record was now planned for next year at the launch of her new DKNY MYNY Fragrance on Tuesday.
They will definitely be on R8, without any doubt
