celeb news Rita Ora fans demand refunds over the authenticity of ‘signed’ copies of her album

[Nefertiti0]

She's amassed a staggering £23 million fortune from her musical career and lucrative stints judging The Masked Singer and The X Factor.
 

But Rita Ora’s fans are currently calling for money back from the popstar, after they voiced concerns over the authenticity of ‘signed’ copies of her latest album, which are being sold online for up to £25.
 

Eagle-eyed fans, coined ‘Ritabots’ by the singer, have spotted differences between the handwriting scrawled on the covers sold online and those signed by Ms Ora at events. 
 

Ms Ora did not respond to a request for comment.

you can't be a mogul without scamming others

[popmusicisdead]

imagine only having 3 fans and still trying to scam them 

[Saint James]

it's funny that Daily Mail AU is reporting this when the album didn't even chart here. i guess they chose her because she's on tv

[simplywohoo]

Huh? Not every signature looks the same and she probably signed a thousand or two in a day, so ofc they look different. I thought this was a nicki minaj queen litho signed by auto pen kinda scam ( which I bought) but this seems fine

Isn’t this down to Banquet though? 

[Riot]

Why would she refuse to sign those 46 copies? 

[JustHoran]

Honestly artists who do SIGNED albums and then don't sign them OR do the fake autographs via a machine instead of hand signing them are disgusting. Your fans are literally buying them to be signed by you, if you can't be bothered to sign them all then don't sell signed CDs. I hope they get a refund or she gives them actual signed copies.

 

I remember ordering Gaga's last album and everyone was getting L's instead of an actual signature and I just cancelled and got a refund because there is no way to know if she's the one writing that L  An L indeed

a real FIRO does NOT have time for stupid things like that

Signed copies are such a scam unless the artist is signing it in front of me I would not purchase it.

Weird thing to do. Overall this Rita era overall feels a bit off.

she has an album out?

[NEX]

So the album is ~£25 and they said she made £23m from the signed copies. First of all, is she claiming she signed almost a million copies? But more importantly, are they saying she SOLD almost 1m copies of her album?? Not sure which one is more unrealistic tbh 

[Bloodflowers.]

She was busy playing at her sold out shows so I understand why she didn't have time to do signings

[Marla Singer]

By the way my signature got forged somebody is threatening to release copies of my album that I haven't signed. Nothing gets signed until I'm ready.

[B-Luke]

Dropping the real signed copies monday if this gets 100,000 retweets

[RockStarShit101]

FIRO will scam YOU

Yes

A flop one, too

[Illuminati]

Was it all autopen? Girl, it's not like she has to sign that many

[HASHTAGPOW]

Maybe Taika Waititi signed them

They didn't say that. She made that throughout her whole career, not from this album

I'd say Gaga's low effort inconsistent signatures were a good indicator that she did in fact sign them all herself While I would prefer her to not sell more than she can properly sign, I would rather take the random scribble by her than perfectly written autopen tbh

 

 

Taylor must have wrists of steel, or maybe it's all in her weird technique of holding the pen with a middle finger
