Rita Ora er kosovoalbansk-britisk, med hvit mor og far.
Noe som ikke er en hemmelighet.
Men nå er hun trending på Twitter fordi tusenvis av folk sier at de hele tiden har trodd at hun var svart eller halvt svart og hvit.
Noen mener at 29-åringen – som er født i Priština; hovedstaden i Kosovo – har lagt opp til dette selv og anklager henne for blackfishing.
Andre reagerer på at folk ikke visste bedre og viser til intervjuer hvor Rita sier at hun ikke er svart, men referer til seg selv som hvit og albansk.
Her er et par tweets om etnisiteten til Rita Ora:
The fact that Rita Ora is in fact not at all black yet she’s been blackfishin us this whole time is really hittin different right now. like I did not expect that

People stay wanting to make Rita Ora Bebe Rexha and Bruno Mars black but when Halsey or Paris Jackson talk about being proud people want to lynch them. Nobody comes at the celebrities that have been passing for years. js…

Briten minner også om smittevern, og viser frem sin nye maske:
I 2009 var Rita Ora med i BBC-showet Eurovision: Your Country Needs You; en konkurranseserie for å kåre Englands bidragsyter til Eurovision Song Contest.
Men hun trakk seg og signerte til Roc Nation.
Her ble hun lansert som R&B-stjerne i USA – og ble ofte kalt for JAY-Z’ neste Rihanna.
Roc Nation teamet henne blant annet opp med Chris Brown i 2015:
Året etter forlot hun Roc Nation, mot deres vilje, og endte opp i rettssak med JAY-Z’ selskap.
I etterkant har karrieren hennes skutt i været, spesielt i hjemlandet.
Rekord: Rita Ora har nå hatt 13 singler i topp 10 på den offisielle britiske hitlisten, noe ingen kvinnelige artister fra England har klart før henne.
Artisten, som har rollen som Mia Grey i Fifty Shades Darker og Fifty Shades Freed, spiller nå inn sitt tredje album; oppfølgeren til Phoenix fra 2018.
