Here’s Rita Ora’s Feminist Response To That A$AP Rocky Diss
Rita Ora recently sat down with Hot 97, doing some promo for “Body On Me,” and during the interview she addressed A$AP Rocky‘s lewd diss that referenced their past relationship.
The line in question, from At.Long.Last.A$AP track “Better Things,” is comprised of the following slut-shamey rhymes: “I swear that bitch Rita Ora got a big mouth / Next time I see her might curse the bitch out / Kicked the bitch out once cause she bitched out / Spit my kids out, jizzed up all in her mouth and made the bitch bounce.” Rocky first tried to excuse the line, saying it was Rita’s fault he got caught cheating with her. Then he backpedaled and half-apologized, calling it “tasteless.” Now Ora herself has weighed in, responding with a mix of feminism and the always dependable “looking for fucks to give” strategy.
“I love his music, and I love what he does,” she told Hot 97’s Nessa Nitty. “But for me, it’s not about me. It’s about what people think they can get away with about speaking about women… I don’t want people to think it’s OK to speak about women like that. That’s it… I don’t care about what he says about me, I don’t give a flying fuck.”
Watch the interview below, with the Rocky discussion at the 17:00 mark.
