Rita Ora is just Rihanna’s understudy, says Azealia Banks

The friendship between London singer Rita Ora and Azealia Banks appears to be over after the New York rapper branded Ora “Rihanna’s understudy”.

Banks, 21, who is in Australia at the Future Music Festival with Ora, tweeted: “Ever since I arrived on this tour Rita’s been going out of her way to try and intimidate me.

“Taking all these candids of me when I wasn’t looking, then posting and deleting them like a weak b*tch.” She claimed Ora, 22, was “thirsty” when she “climbed over the wall of my dancers’ dressing room to snap photos”.

She then posted a picture of a text she claims was from Ora, parts of which read: “I don’t know who the f*** u think you are”, “I’ve done nothin but try to b nice to u.”

A spokesman for Ora declined to comment.
