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.

Let’s say what is one thing she doesn’t look: 25
She looks like 30.
I remember her appearing in a music video eight years ago. She looked young but not quite 17/18 at the time. I’d put her real age at maybe 27 or 28.
She looks hispanic.
You can’t look hispanic.And if something like looking Hispanic exist it must be Spanish.Spanish doesn’t look like Rita Ora.
Rita Ora is a Gypsy!
Thr correct term is Romani. The word “gypsy” is an ethnic slur.
She looks Polynesian with European ancestry, or a mix of these two.
Here we have a lot of half Samoans, half Germans, who look like that.
Rita Ora is white. She might have some Gypsy or Moorish in her which is giving her a “mixed” look. Gypsies are from India and the Moors are from Morocco. Indians and Moroccans are both Caucasian so Rita Ora is white.
Quote(Indians and Moroccans are both Caucasian )
They label those people Caucasian ,no matter what they look like. They could look like flavor flav. but as long as they are from an arab country, they would be seen as Caucasian by law. That’s why the Arabs themselves are trying to get that changed
1. Moroccans have arab, Berber and sub saharan african ancestry
2. Indians and other dravidians are an ancient mix of eurasian and black andamanese ancestry
they’re under the Caucasian category due to a BS skull study that points out similarities they have with each other due to their skull shape, this has NOTHING to do with race, even black horn of africans are categorized as a sub group of the caucasians for having slim features for crying out loud you wanna call them white too? Lmao
“Gypsy” is an ethnic slur. The correct term is Romani or Roma.
