Madonna Forced Rita Ora To Kneel When They First Met

Madonna has a bit of a rep for being a bit of a diva, which is probably why we aren’t too surprised by Rita Ora’s anecdote about the first time she met the notorious Queen of music.

And, to be honest, that really is saying something.

The 25-year-old singer recalls the meeting in a new interview, revealing that she was at a charity concert in London back in 2013 and things got pretty strange very quickly - with Rita ending up on her knees.

According to the former X Factor judge, Madonna asked if they could kneel down whilst they were chatting in order for Rita to see the star at her best angle and in the best lighting.

Right.

Rita explained: “I was waiting in the room and Madonna walks in with the lighting - how major is that?

"We say hello and then she’s like, ‘This isn’t working, can we just kneel down on the floor?’ So I knelt down and we had the whole conversation because the lighting was better.”

And it’s not just Madge who couldn’t give a hoot about diva rumours, with Rita going on to add to The Metro that she has learned not to care about what people think of her.

She shared: “At the end of the day, there’s going to be judgements on anything that you do in any kind of aspect and it just comes back to your security.

"I know who I am, I know my fans, I know the records I sell, I know what I do and what I desire and if that’s not getting tarnished then I’ll do what I like.”

You go, girl!
