New pop star on the block Rita Ora is gracing the latest cover of COMPLEX Magazine!

In addition to her hot photoshoot (more pics are below), Rita, 21, who is signed with Roc Nation, discusses her music, plus comparisons and her alleged feud with Rihanna.

When it comes to her career, Rita opens up about knowing herself musically.  "You can add as much production as you want but if the music is sh*t no one is gonna listen to it," she says. "It's important that you know yourself musically. I was always that girl who loved music and thought of music as an escape route."

And when asked about her widely rumored feud with Rihanna, she stated: "Everyone thought that we hated each other, but the whole thing was created by the media. That's what's so funny."

"I admire Rihanna," Rita adds. "She works her ass off. She hasn't had a break and she has given people hit after hit after hit. That work ethic and discipline is hardcore. That's the kind of shit that I want to do. That I will do."

Indeed the two ladies appear to be on good terms these days though reports have stated they did dislike each other in the beginning over jealous. In fact, there were even rumors that Jay-Z brought Rita to Roc Nation so that she could take the place of Rihanna who's personal life seems to be spiraling out of control these days.
