Rita Ora is addressing her "Becky with the good hair" drama with Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z. The "Black Widow" songstress was previously attacked by the Beyhive amidst speculations she was the mysterious mistress mentioned in Beyonce's "Lemonade" track "Sorry".
In an interview with Cosmopolitan U.K.'s September issue, Rita says of the "Lemonade" drama, "I'm still happy I've had this incredible experience. Jay is one of my idols and Beyonce is obviously the queen of life. I'll never not appreciate the experience I had with them and the things I've seen."
Rita recently ended her contract with Jay-Z's music company Roc Nation. When asked about her current relationship with the powerhouse couple, the "Body on Me" singer says they have been her "great mentors," before adding, "I look up to them a lot."
In the interview, Rita opens up about her anxiety struggles, praising Zayn Malik's honesty about his own struggles earlier this year. "I'm so glad someone has spoken out about it," she shares, "I'm not scared to admit that I have had therapy. I have someone I speak to once a week. People suffer it in different ways, but for me it's more about thinking about the long-term goal."
"I'm a very 'in the moment'-type person, so if I have to do something there and then, I'll be fine. But if I think about it, that's when anxious thoughts start going in," she continues, "I get so nervous because I care so much. Sometimes I get nervous about recording a song in the studio. I'm like, 'I'm not ready to record this yet.' Or, 'I don't think I can do this.' So I'm relieved to have people around me who encourage me to do well."
Rita also talks about her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris who recently split from Taylor Swift, telling the mag, "I hate being defined in relationships."
