10 Things You Didn't Know About Rita Ora

She never lets us down

Rita Ora is definitely not your average 24 year old. After being spotted singing in a nightclub in London at the age of just 18 by Jay-Z, she has taken the world by storm with her incredible R&B/hip-hop style vocals.

Though she's primarily known as a musical sensation, Ora has also become quite the actress, starring in Fast & The Furious 6, the erotic drama Fifty Shades Of Grey and more recently in Southpaw alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams. And as if she had enough on her plate, she also runs a global property empire along with her sister, Elena Ora, with houses not only in the UK and the US but in Kosovo as well, from where her family fled when she was just one.
