A$AP Rocky has spoken out about his <a href="/profile/rita-ora" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Rita Ora</a> lyrics on the track &#8220;Better Things,&#8221; off his new album A.L.L.A., however we&#8217;d yet to hear from Rita herself on the diss, until today.
Rocky himself referred to the diss as &#8220;tasteless,&#8221; although he stands by what he said. <a href="http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/asap-rocky-the-rita-ora-thing-was-tasteless-of-me-news.16296.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">In an interview with the Guardian</a> he said, &#8220;The Rita thing was tasteless of me. [But] I’ve got to stand by it, because I did it. I said it. Who gives a fuck about who I’m fucking? Nobody really cares. It’s fun to hear, but who really gives a fuck about who Rita Ora’s fucking?&#8221;
During a sit-down with Hot 97, where Rita Ora was promoting new music she&#8217;s currently working on (including her single with <a href="/profile/ChrisBrown" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Chris Brown</a>, <a href="http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/rita-ora-body-on-me-feat-chris-brown-new-song.1965763.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">&#8220;Body On Me&#8221;</a>), she addresses the lyrics, noticeably unbothered by them.
On the topic, she says, &#8220;I’m not looking at it like &#8216;you’re upsetting me&#8217; because I don’t actually give a shit. I think about it, and I don’t want people to think it’s ok to speak about women like that. I don’t care what you say about me. I don’t give a flying fuck. That’s just how it is, but you know got to keep it moving. I’m very happy with what I do, and I’m proud of who I am, and what I represent.&#8221;
