Rita Ora Accused Of Blackfishing After Fans Realize She’s White Albanian

Rita Ora Under Fire For Blackfishing After People Found Out She’s Not Black But White Albanian

It’s not surprising that Rita Ora would find herself in this situation because we’re in a generation of fake woke people all over social media, getting offended in the slightest thing. Considering that she’s been open about her heritage, this is nothing but being fake woke.

Rita Ora has been vocal about her upbringing and her heritage, speaking about her Albanian roots and how her family escaped the war-torn area several decades ago.

Folks on Twitter recently dug out a couple of photos of Rita Ora wearing an afro and box braids, the 29-year-old was accused of blackfishing for much of her career. “Finding out Rita Ora isn’t black at all and both of her parents are white Albanians is so trippy. The girl’s BEEN blackfishing,” a Twitter user wrote in a post that has since gone viral.

like the girl isn’t black in the slightest this is kinda freaking me out. yt women really slip into black personas so easily

Rita Ora has talked about how frustrated she has been that people assume her race but, with that in mind, people were quick to point out how she regularly wears hairstyles that were popularized by Black women, egging it on.

The tweet on her supposed blackfishing is currently getting massive retweets with over one hundred and ten thousands likes, causing a discussion about cultural appropriation and blackfishing.

Rita Ora is yet to comment on the accusations, going silent on Twitter and allowing this to hopefully die naturally.
