“I want to find the right word here,” Ora told the Sunday Times magazine, “and maybe this is my interpretation, but I do feel I got discriminated against because I was a woman.”

“I almost felt – maybe this is just my interpretation – I could have had a better chance if I’d been male,” Ora continued, adding that she has since moved on to work with her older sister, Elena, as her business partner.

Despite the legal beef though, Ora said the split was amicable. But, she did clear up a few rumors that had been swirling since the release of Beyoncés legendary “Lemonade” album: She is not ‘Becky with the Good Hair.”

“Hey, all I want to say to that is, dude, if I were BWTGH, wouldn’t I actually have good hair? Look at it. It’s all weave and extensions,” she joked, adding that she’s Bey’s biggest fan and would “die for her.”
