'The relationship is irrevocably damaged': Rita Ora is suing Jay Z's record label Roc Nation in a bid to terminate her contract

She got her big break when she was signed to Roc Nation in 2008 at the tender age of 18.

But Rita Ora is now seeking to end her agreement with rap mogul Jay Z's record label, claiming it is in violation of California's 'seven-year rule' in the lawsuit filed on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

The 25-year-old X Factor judge has only released one album since her signing, her 2012 self-titled debut, and she's claiming the company’s change in direction led to her being forgotten about.

Breaking free: Rita Ora has filed a lawsuit against her record label Roc Nation on Thursday, claiming her contract is in violation of California's 'seven-year rule'

'When Rita signed, Roc Nation and its senior executives were very involved with her as an artist,' the complaint states, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 

'As Roc Nation's interests diversified, there were fewer resources available and the company suffered a revolving door of executives.

'Rita's remaining supporters at the label left or moved on to other activities, to the point where she no longer had a relationship with anyone at the company.'

The lawsuit cites Roc Nation's interest in sports management and other endeavors like streaming service Tidal as specific examples.

The paperwork continues to call Roc Nation a 'diminished' record label with 'only a handful of admittedly worthy heritage superstar artists.'

In an attempt to break her contract, Rita is citing Labour Code §2855, known colloquially as the ‘Seven Year Rule’.

The code was successfully used by actress Olivia De Haviland in 1944 when she filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros, setting a precedent for future cases in the showbiz industry.

Rita’s attorney Howard King said he hopes the judge can see that the same circumstances as Olivia’s case can be applied to Rita.

The complaint continues: 'Rita's relationship with Roc Nation is irrevocably damaged.

'Fortunately for Rita, the California legislature had the foresight to protect its artists from the sorts of vicissitudes she's experienced with Roc Nation.'

After the news broke, 'Free Rita' began trending on Twitter as fans backed the singer's bid to be released from the label.

Rita's representative declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.
