Rita Ora is a British singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for her songs “R.I.P.,” “How We Do (Party),” “Your Song,” “Anywhere,” “Let You Love Me,” and, in a featured role, “Hot Right Now.” She has also been billed as Rita Sahatçiu Ora.
She was born in Pristina, Yugoslavia, to a Kosovan Albanian family. She is the daughter of Vera (Bajraktari), a psychiatrist, and Besnik Sahatçiu, a pub owner. Her father is a Muslim and her mother is Catholic. Her family moved to the U.K in 1991, because of the persecution of Albanians in Kosovo, and she was raised in Notting Hill, London. Her surname, Sahatçiu, is derived from the Turkish word saatçi, which means “watchmaker.” Her family later added “Ora” to her full name; the word means “time” in Albanian. She is a citizen of the U.K. and Kosovo. In 2015, she was named Honorary Ambassador of Kosovo.
When asked about her ethnicity in an interview, Rita stated that she is “100% from Kosovo,” here. A picture of Rita’s father can be seen here. A picture of Rita’s mother can be seen here. Rita is married to New Zealand actor and filmmaker Taika Waititi.
Rita’s paternal grandfather was Besim Sahatçiu, a film and theatre director (the son of Adem Sahatçiu and Besa). Besim was born in Pejë, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, now Kosovo.
Rita’s maternal grandfather was named Osman Bajraktari. Osman was the Albanian consul to Russia, then part of the USSR.
she want look african.
I don’t get this comment.
she wants to look african?… is that a style? african appearance is very based on cultural criteria. and she definitely doesn’t look african by style… or did you mean her physical outlooking? well, that would be more doubtful.
She want to look BLACK!!!Its not my problem that you dot understand my comment.Its a site about ethnic background not about cultura and style!

“Its a site about ethnic background not about cultura and style!”
so, your comment is about what?
It’s obvious what she meant.
She really does want to look Black her, Kylie Jenner, Amanda Bynes, & Iggy try sooo hard, it’s corny.
reply to blah
(she really does wants to be black)
if
fake blonde hair from probable fake European -although med-ancestry and odd looking bleached out light skin..is your idea of want to be black?
STFU! She wants to be black just like the rest of these lip, a**, titties, tan getting whores. She wants to look black and she can actually pass.
She can’t pass for being African-American nor any Sub-Saharan ethnicity.
Quit being ridiculous, she can pass for being like 1/4th black. She was probably adopted or is part Gypsy.

I think her makeup and hair choices contribute to the idea many people have of her being part black. She has olive skin and with her platinum blond hair makes her skin look darker. and the red lips too. Her hair is curly but the texture probably got dryer from dyeing it. And drawing on her eyebrows too. not all white people have thin pointy noses. The pictures of her when she was younger she looks white.
you right!i know many russians who have a nose like her.
In one of the interviews she said she’s Kosovar Albanian from Pristina, and that here ethnic background is entirely from Eastern Europe.
Because Kosovo is in Eastern Europe you utter fucking dolt.
she is not Albanian.
You can’t prove that so don’t make shit up just because she doesn’t look like what you want Albanians to look like.
