Calvin Harris Clears Up ‘Myth’ Surrounding His Involvement With Ex-Girlfriend Rita Ora’s Scrapped Album

usmagazine.com:

The mystery of the scrapped studio album is solved. While Rita Ora’s second record was reportedly delayed over the use of ex Calvin Harris’ tracks, the DJ is setting the record straight.Writer George Griffiths asserted via Twitter on Saturday, November 26, that the 32-year-old “Body on Me” songstress could have been “one of the biggest pop stars” if her Harris-produced record wasn’t “torpedoed” before its release.

The 38-year-old Scotland native, for his part, has cleared the air about his involvement.“Entire thing is a myth, there is one unreleased song I worked on and it isn’t good,” the “One Kiss” performer tweeted on Saturday.Ora, who has not publicly addressed the resurfaced drama, and Harris were first linked in May 2013.

After nearly one year together, the two musicians split.“To address speculation — myself and Rita ended our relationship some time ago,” the “How Deep Is Your Love” crooner tweeted in June 2014. “She is a beautiful, talented woman & I wish her all the best.”Ora, for her part, initially blamed busy schedules and long distances as the primary factor in their amicable breakout.

However, nearly one year later, the Kosovo native told Marie Claire that her former beau didn’t have her back.“There was a reason why I split up with him,” Ora recalled to the magazine in their June 2015 issue. “And there was a reason why I’m at this point in my life where I feel like I have so much musical freedom, and I don’t have to explain myself to anybody… It was more of a thing where I was in awe.
