Man, I remember back when my dad was starting out, he had to purchase some London pubs just to make ends meet.
She didn't exactly struggle her dad owned a few pubs and she said they were middle class
Michael Hinchliffe Yeah she should be honest about her upbringing not frame it as a difficult time compared to other refugees her story is laughable.
***** A few times.
***** Might watch it again for another giggle.
Her family were already well known before her career, her grandfather was a famous director of films. So she's not being THAT honest.
+Rathuíl Trodaire Her and Sheryl will clash to bad it is like working class meets silver spoon up the ass.
She talks about "making ends meet" after saying her dad casually purchased a few pubs hahaha
I was thinking about the same thing. hahah
Take the time to research what it takes to run a small business.
To Which End Drops he commented there wealth status, he didn’t say they were not yard workers. Most CEOs of big companies work even harder but we don’t say they it was hard making their ends meet:)
She does promote tequila on her Instagram sometimes
And wears the best dresses
She earned it
I don't get why most of these celebrities always want to attach themselves with some poor upbringing. Her dad owned pubs she was middle class. I don't think she spent a day without food, running water, continuous supply of electricity, good schooling, good clothes and a bit of money. She was 1 when she came to the U.K what does know about being a refugee please give me a break.
She knows bc her parents were...?
It's Albanians bruh, what did you expect. Turned the whole world against Serbs by acting victims
C S so she has second hand info like all of us?
AFTER a few years in London. They moved into a 1 room apartment when they arrived and lived there for years.
"My father didn't want to attend the army, he chose to bring up his children instead" - "attending" the army was compulsory military service that every male citizen of Yugoslavia did. A year in the armed forces, after turning 18. It was military training. Like in Israel. It didn't prevent anyone from raising children.
Secondly, the war "that was about to break out" broke out in Slovenia Croatia and my own Bosnia Herzegovina. She left Kosovo in 1991. The war in Kosovo started in 1998. So she was not a refugee. An economic migrant perhaps. Not a refugee. I get that it's good for her business image to fly the refugee flag but it really offends those of us who came face to face with machettes, death squads, and bullets during the Yugoslav Wars. So a little honesty Rita Ora would be appreciated. You left in 1991. You were not a refugee but a migrant.
Yeah, life was dandy in the YU army in 1991 for anyone other than Serbs, wasn't it ? And Albanians were treated just the same as everyone else...
Oh.
And life was dandy in 1991 in Kosovo, there was no oppression, no military occupation, the Serbian government hadn't closed down the University and sacked almost all Albanian state employees.
Oh.
How low knowlege you have. Albanians in yougoslavia after Milosevic regim were like palestinian in israel now. They were abused from military, and lived discriminated from serbian's. Yes 98. Was the big war, or better saying genocide in kosovo from serbia, bat the war started right after death of Tito...
The milosevic terror against Albanians in Kosovo started from 1991 ... so just shut up and learn the real history of Kosovo ...
Quite elaborate, but not quite true. I am from Serbia. Even though what she says is not quite that bad, you got it all wrong. "Šiptari" were treated very bad for the last 20 - 30 years in Yugoslavia in general. So, all in all it might be true what she is saying.
Slobodan Milosevic began to crack down on the Albanians in 91 and i think she meant that her father didn't want to join the kla
"Im not a politician" but you just evaded the question like a typical politician
Interviewer: How do you say thank you?
Rita: Funny man did it
Kokomiu I actually thought it was funny 😆
SISOWHWIWHOAGEIEYE8EE9WHWOWHSIDVEISH
Dear Rita, how do you think hundreds of Serbian families have felt back in 2003 when Kosovar Albaninas tell them to GET OUT of their houses or they will kill them? I am really interesed to tell me something about Ethick cleaning back in 2003
About y'all saying they didn't go through a lot because of being midclass, but remember they were refugees, didn't know what to do, Didnt know how to speak English (well) and I dont think the parents got ajob immediately..
She wasn't a refugee. She was an economic migrant. Not a refugee. There was no war in Kosovo in 1991 when she left.
If that is what a refugee is, then my parents were refugees too, heck, then so many people are refugees. She just escaped a bad economical situation from back in Kosovo, her dad may have decided that his childrens future could be brighter in the UK , nothing more than that. So many people went from their home country to Switzerland, Germany; Austria, etc. She is no world wonder
MrNigeylite not as pathetic as Rita calling to be a poor refuge
Vedran Eminovic the war started at 1991 but it wasn’t worse then it was in 1998 and 1999
As a Kosovar I am proud to have stars like yourself as my co-patriot Go Rita you rock.
Kosovo is Proud of you and Dua Lipa you guys rock.
middle class family; mother was studying, father had pubs (bought them when they come in) but it wasn't easy. Dear Rita, do you even know what real hardship is?!
hard to believe she can really identify herself with refugees....they were upper middle class and you obviously do not have any memories back to when you were 1 years old. Especially since 99% of parents automatically shield you from any discomfort.
So....she really grew up in the UK from Day 1 so to speak.
But I guess it's all good if she uses her fame to be an ambassador for noble causes.
She has lived in England for 23 years?
How exactly was she and her family refugees 23 years ago? According to her wikipedia they came to England in 1991, The Yugoslav wars lasted from 1991-1999. The war in Kosovo was in 1998-1999, there was not a war as far as I know in Kosovo in 1991.
+MainstreamPoPsucks3 Kosovo had it's Autonomy taken away in 1989 and was put under the control of the Milosevic regime. It led up to the 1998 war. There was already some violence in Kosovo before 1998.
100domathon I know, but it was not a full scale civil war like in 1998, I doubt there was any reason to flee back in 1990-1991
Kosovo is Serbia !
albanians started the war when they kill Serbian police first
Elisa Castro Kosovo is Serbia forever
She was not poor
she was an teen actress
I was born in London I didn't really struggle. But my parents struggled alot when leaving Kosovo. My mum couldn't speak any English and my dad definitely couldn't afford to buy pubs 😂
What's the point of your comment? You were fortunate to be born in London, but she was born in Kosovo. Her mom also didn't speak English and her dad bought a pub years after they came to the UK. You make it sound like they didn't struggle at all
She talks so differently here..
Did she say, correct me if I am wrong "my Dad purchased a few pubs to make men's meat"?
yeah she meant 'ends meet'
Dead
When i was 13 years old my family volunteered with the Kosovo refugees in Ontario Canada. We were so happy to help and we learnt a lot of their culture.
this interviewer has his own agenda mixed with his issues. so sick of the interviewer hijacking the conversations
"We left because my father didn't want to attend the army" - says it all really doesn't it.
Yeah, being an Albanian in the army at that time was pretty dangerous
Ric Euteneuer There were no "kosovo" army at that time so the only army he could join was UCK which we know was terrorist group :)
Vladimir Radomirović it wasn’t a terrorist group even un said it
@@vladimirvladoradomirovic by your standard your army was a terrorist one as well
Her father didn’t want to fight for “her dear Kosovo “ that was only a Serbian province at the time. That tells you everything. Plus middle class does not just purchase FEW pubs.
she is so beautiful .... zemra ime
I am really fed up with this kind of moralizing speech.
You cannot obtain the statute of political refugee when you are a 1-year-old, that's a lie.
At the very least she may be the daughter of a political refugee, which I also challenge given the story of her family. Her parents were educated people who wanted to find a better life for the family else where. These are economic immigrants, not refugees.
Of course its a lie, but she is famous so Kosovo wants to use this in their favor. Thats it. If you got money and fame, you got it all, sad but true
Kanita Hajdini isn’t refugee when you go to next safe country? Like Albania? Why didn’t they go there? For economic reasons or safety?
@@lukazupie7220 yeah probably
@Peter Peters crime money? war criminals?
@Peter Peters is it only in britain? how do they operate?
My father wanted to make ends meet.....so he purchased some pubs......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i have just come across this video, and really glad that i did! i wont lie, im british and have been pretty blind and judgemetal on the subject of allowing more familys through our borders! i will stand by most of my orginal thoughts of the matter, but watching this, proves not every refugee family coming through our borders are benifit scrounging lazy bastards! she was brought over here and now look at her, regardless of how well of she may of been or her family may of been before her fame, most british people who are born into wealthy familys use that money born title to not work, or have work handed to them because of there name or family members, so props to her!
I understand what she means. I am English and that is me, it is what my blood is, it is what I feel under my skin. It is who I am as a man and what I represent. Everything I have learned, my morals, all because I'm English.
She said that about Albanian how does she feel but of course she is grown up In London and she is thankful about the oportunity that England gaved to her that's normal ;)
The jornalist asked her what is kosovan be if u hear well :)
***** ... hating?
***** "Hommage". It's a thing. Look it up. And do stop hating, will you?
I am from Kosovo and we speak Albanian and not Kosovan lol Kosovan is not a launguge we are Albanians we speak Albanian
Being a immigration due to extreme poverty I get it my family had to leave there native country to have a better life and that is why I have a better life. For the last 16 years I have had the best life possible but I know how it feels like not to be wanted and at 17 I know what struggling means. She really is a great ,"Ora"and roll model
I wonder how Rita knows what it is really like to be a refugee when she was only one years old when she came to the UK? It is very ironic to see Blair there when you consider what he did to Iraq and its people, causing them to be refugees in the first place. It would be nice to have seen Rita with her natural hair colour and without a ton of makeup.
Why is she talking posh?
What an astonishing revelation, great reporting channel 4.
***** sweet e?
what was the last thing he said to her ? I can't make it out
He said "you're a role model"...
Aww I love her! I’m glad she is safe in London 😌😌
WHO TF MADE HER TALK LIKE THAT
about "I was yes, we were sorry"
she's amazing
She's so lovely
"I agree" It's something we should embrace😗 😍😘✌ presented by an amazing women that's Rita which we brits are gifted opon to have in beautiful Multiculturalism...
Wow...she really shocked me as too how real she is...
We are proud of you!!!

Tentō Sounds civilized.
Jake Bradley She's Black not white.
Judge Jury well test your eyes she's white as fuck
Jake Bradley She's not white,is more of a grey-ish brown colour, test *your* *fucking* *eyes*
My dad is Albanian and almost died in that same war
Something's not right here...she's actually wearing quite a lot of clothes for a change
Lol like shitttt
Pants on fire with what followed but I still love rita and understand...
You are so humble & normal young women. I wish you all the happiness & wealth you could ever get in this world and gives less opportunistic people a chance to survive. Love from 🇮🇳
Pafundsisht krenar me ty mbretnesha jon
Same as it's lovely to see all ethnic Britain that goes for the world
What did Krishnan say at 3:55..? Can't make it out.. - @acharich
he said "you're a role model"
Wow..thought she might have been spanish.she has a wonderful voice.
So proud of Rita
Our queen :)
Well uk needs more people like Rita ora
Love from USA
She is not a 'Kosovar' or 'Kosovan' she is an ethnic Albanian. and Kosovo is just a northern Albanian province in the current Balkan ethnic map. Lets not play the stupid Western game of calling things fake names - instead let's call things what they are, and maybe we will have a chance at peace and prosperity (in a world without capitalism, of course).
Redža Levi You go live without capitalism; my freedom is not for you to expend
Redža Levi She never denied that she wasn't Albanian? Being a Kosovar is the same as saying i am an Albanian. You wil understand if you know the roots of an Illirian.
ANONYMOUS ANONYMOUS LADY That's just it! The Prishtina protectorate IS AN ALBANIAN TERRITORY - it has been ethnically cleansed of native Serbs. So the 'other Kosovars' WERE Serbs (which the KLA butchered during and after the 1999 NATO campaign) but they are no more. This is what the play of words hides.
Redža Levi Sad that Prishtina is being ruled by an international law. That's 1 thing i don't like. There is nothing wrong by calling yourself to your homeland. Nothing wrong with that. But sometimes she confuses the audiance in other interviews. Where she says i speak Kosovan with my parents, now that does not exist Kosovan language!! It's the Albanian language. So there is a huge difference between an language by with you identify yourself through your country.
ANONYMOUS ANONYMOUS LADY I'm deeply troubled by the ethnic cleansing in the region and by the unevenness of criminal indictments - I'm a muslim from Bosnia, but I live in the US, looking at Kosovo, the place where the former state started to crumble, I can't help but notice that none of the KLA commanders have been prosecuted and many of the witnesses have been killed mysteriously. Being a NATO protectorate is bad on the short term, avoiding reconciliation and justice is bad on the long term.
She's and her family and other refugees,need our support,they have so much potential to offer.God Bless.😍 all refugees and there family s.
Love you Rita❤❤❤❤❤💜💜💜💜💜🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Bravo
So proud of her 😢
i feel very sorry for her
Love you Rita.
I swaer to god im in love wit Rita Ora..... Shes just sooo beautiful.....and she's only one year older tham me....💞💞💞💞💞💞💕💕
Love
Loqka ime 😘
She is just us she isn't anything else okay 👌🏻
How can she talk about "Kosovo" and being "Kosovan" when she is an Albanian from Albania that speaks Albanian? Somebody teach this poor girl about her people and heritage.
She is Albanian from Kosovo
Love You Rita ora. Respekte
Such a classy lady!
Ja ne mogu da verujem sta ona prica.... uzas
I have said it over and over again. Please ignore the people who write stupid comments. Show love and compassion towards everyone.
Is this the same interviewer who made Robert Downey Jr walk walk out of his interview
💕💕💕❤❤❤💗💗💗
Rita Ora you are Big 🌟 in the World .
She is awesome
beautiful as ever even more now knowing she loves where she came from her native country with her family
of course she and her family were refugees when firstly came in the uk..
However, she's from kosovë.
This is what every albanian claims to be when entering great britain.
At the moment, British government is investigating if they're are indeed from kosovë, if the opposite it's proven, then they're in trouble..
Keep up the good work rita!!
So here in the comments section we have butt-hurt Albanian nationals trying their hardest to claim Ora as their own.
Meanwhile ignoring the sovereignty of the nation of Kosovo.
All the more so ignoring the fact that Ora is actually more British than anything else, she has been in the country since 1 years of age and has British Citizenship.
She actually relates more to the British people much more than she does with Kosovans. This is common practise for people of poor nations to make a name for themselves by means of honouring a former resident of the country of origin. Forgetting the fact that this individual *fled the nation because it absolutely sucked and living there would be total hell, thus the reason why they left.*
BeamingSplendor they left cause her family was Albanian and Albanians in Kosova were being slaughtered. My family left from Kosova as well during that time and people of Kosova are Albanians. We don't identify as Kosova but Albanian or Dardanet. ALBANIANS are native the the Balkans and are tribes men. Albanians are divided by tribes so Albanians of Kosova are a different tribe than the Albanians of Albania, Greece, Macedonia and montenegro. These people are the surviving tribes of the Illyrians. Albanians didn't settle into europe from anywhere like the slavs and romans, ottomans or greek. Albanians were the first to inhabited the Balkans and we called it Illyria. I have lived my whole life in the USA but I don't identify as an American. Albanians identify by our roots, and we are raised around Albanian culture and not American the only time we were around American culture was at school and work but still was raised with Albanian traditions and culture and were always around Albanian people. There is a large Albanian community and we all hang out together. I've never had an American in my house before not that they're not welcomed but we prefer to stick with our own people.. Again we identify by our "ROOTS" and not where we live.

Come to Australia Rita!
We are the epitome of multicultural & for the vast majority, we embrace it.
(Yes I agree there are exceptions)
Have you done that last jump you talked with Cheryl, Grimmy & Simon about?
As a taxpayer in modern Britain you get fed up of hearing the words
"We're all the same"
"Let em all in"
"One Planet"
"Tolerance, diversity and multiculturalism"

As to your first claim, judging buy the way you've worded the response and the language used, i very much doubt it.
You do like to throw the term 'bigot' around don't you? Judging from some of your other comments you come across as an anti English hate filled bigot yourself with a chip on your shoulder.
I don't hate anybody, but were always told the roads, railways hospitals & schools are badly overcrowded mixed with a huge housing shortage. So why do we have an immigration policy that allows 650,000 people to walk into the country every year to compound these problems? If there was unlimited space, resources and money id gladly welcome anybody in, but there isn't so i don't.
Robbie Lawson If I'm prejudiced against a certain group of people it's people like you who (in your other comments) spread hate and lump all immigrants together and speak of them like vermin that need to be gotten rid of. I think you know the people coming here usually are fleeing a war torn country and the consequences of a broken down economy, contributed to not in small part by colonization by Britain and other European countries. The very wealth we have, the ''overcrowded'' hospitals (which is almost nothing compared to other countries providing free healthcare) and system we have here is possible because we took wealth and resources from other countries. We can't even distribute it evenly among the people we have, with the richest 5 families having as much as the poorest 20% of the country, and then we choose to blame this gap on the immigrants and the poor.
I know you have made up your mind about immigrants and you have probably surrounded yourself with people who have the same views so your opinions won't change with one youtube commenter, which is why initially I didn't bother trying to debate with you. But now I write this for all the bigoted and racist comments left unresponded to in the comments of youtube.
I find it funny how as soon as someone is called out on their racism or bigotry the person is accused (usually by white people, though I honestly don't know why or the skin colour of yourself) of being anti English and ''not loving my country enough''. *I like it very much and fight for it to be a cohesive society where people of different colours, ethnic origins, class and education get along with and respect each other.* I work for no fee to overcome language barriers faced by women and teens who were brought here by the sole breadwinners of their family, who had no choice or say in coming here but are still faced with prejudice, people calling them names and throwing things at them in the street. I work to help them function better and integrate into a society where many people judge them by an accent they did not choose to speak in and a colour of skin they did not choose to be born in. It may be worth noting some of the wives do persuade their husbands to take them back but that is a small minority. Well that's what I'm doing in my anti Englishness. I've also decided if I ever need to move to another country (where I will enjoy the title of expat and not immigrant purely because I am British) my taxes will still be paid here because it is the country and the Labour government that allowed me to get the education to earn what I do. What are you doing to make this country better? Other than whinge I mean? I genuinely am interested.
I also work for this overcrowded NHS. Almost anyone in the higher levels of admin or healthcare or both will agree it's not hugely the immigrants that make it crowded (Inverse Care Law means they're not usually the ones receiving care) but the huge budget cuts placed by a government... one who IMHO seems to think it's in debt but doesn't do one iota to taking taxes from people who cheat and people who actually don't need the money. As an NHS related example just recently they talked about reducing the starting salary of Dentists (highest in the country) to make it equal with the others .. well you know how that turned out.
+Sami Aziz
Write as much as you want, I don't see how you can take the moral high ground after you said "i hope bigots like you die out by the next generation", what a disgusting thing to say. I don't think highlighting the fact that the influx of cheap foreign labor over the last 20 years has being a major factor in the deterioration of pay and working conditions qualifies as spreading hate?
As for your dream of a cohesive society based on respect, its a nice idea but wake up its never going to happen, and its not just the fault of 'the big bad white man', Muslims prefer to live side by side, so do Sikhs and Jews
You do sound anti English, because in some of your other comments you and others point to "Stolen Wealth" and "Colonialism". When you make a statement like that the inference could be taken that you hold English people living today culpable somehow for the crimes of the empire which is 'residual resentment' I'd class as a form of bigotry.
I actually agree with you about Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria, British and American actions have been reprehensible over the last 15 years and im aware that a lot of migrants are only reaching Europe due to the chaos in Libya. Teflon tony seems to have been rewarded for his middle eastern endeavors & running Britain into the ground when what he really deserves is a firing squad
Well Sami im just a working man not quite the Humanitarian visionary & philanthropist you obviously are are. In response to your first paragraph though if its any consolation the only group in society i despise are the hard left progressive liberals, Anti Fascist and PC thugs who sit on their perch of self anointed righteousness telling people what to think say and feel, instantly setting upon anybody who holds a different opinion.
Robbie Lawson Hoping that bigotry, racism and any other kind of xenophobia die out by the next generation is not a bad thing? Like, you are a bigot of this generation and I really do hope there aren't any more bigoted people, racists, or phobics that spread hate in the next generation. I don't think that's immoral at all, of course I can still take the moral high ground after saying that.

The word is congratulations
Ignorant - 'lacking knowledge information or understanding as to a particular subject or fact'. Don't use a word if you don't understand what it means.
Thanks for the award, though if its any consolation you have just won keyboard warrior of the week.
As a homeless squatter, you never want to hear the world 'get out' either.
So just,because her dad owned pubs and they were middle class. How do you know Rita Ora didn't struggle tho?
Great Rita Ora
I thought she was Albanian, in some sites it said so.
Rita.. Rita Rita... SMH.. you know better than to accept that... honest... honor... thanks again
Im from Serbia and im asking u why r u spreading hatred? She doesn't do that so why u guys must?
Martius so than you know that Kosovo is Serbia .
I'm live somewhere my phone saiys
Audio is out of sync
Albanian and Kosovo we are very proud of you
I think the way she grew up was beautiful. You can tell there was a lot of love
3:30 what an effing cop out.
First of all she was 1 when her family fled from her country, so she did not experience anything she was a baby, she was learning to walk discovering life. it's impossible to remember anything at that time. Ridiculous, just felt the need to express that.
I remember details from when I was very young...
Maybe the parents told her the experience
❤️👐🏼🇦🇱
congratulations rita thats outstanding..now what would even be more outstanding is if u were also an ambassador 4: CHRIST JESUS 👍
I dont get it why in EVERY video of Rita Ora serbs comment anything bad. Im English and i have a refugee friend, hes Albanian and kinda told me the situation in the 99s. I honestly felt sorry bout Albanians or Kosovarians. But why do always Serbs find something bad to comment about Albanians?
Ah yes, Shpat Bekteshi,traditional English name...
Rita Ora krenaria e kombit shqiptar
Ancient Illyria nuk e thot se eshte shqipetare thot se asht koovare, mundet te maxhupe turke ose boshnjake , por nuk thot se qa sht
Se ka keq kosovare eshte.
you didnt be here to now what realy happen
she’s such an inspiration
I wouldn't say I was obsessed but I love Rita Ora !!! "SHE'S A Lovely Girl"
You should feel proud you Albanian ans why not fuck the haters and who stupid people and have think old mentalality i am proud too i am Albanian we should be proud we are the best nation
Morals?
Well fancy that.
I don't like how she identifies as a Kosovan considering she has lived her whole life in London and the UK made her who she is today.
+studmalexy but I get it,,shes just trying to be diplomatic and not trying to offend anybody in Kosovo either.
You're so fucking stupid, you talk to yourself. Thank you for sharing your worthless opinion and then changing your mind about it lol.
E. Idrizi your women,,give them to me
E. Idrizi have you ever heard of schizophrenia??!!
She identifies as an Albanian from Kosovo because she is one. She was born in Prishtina and her parents are Albanian too. The fact that she moved in another country doesn’t change or erase that fact. She is Albanian
KOSOVO and never mention Albania, where the real blood that she is talking about comes from
Kosovo is Serbia you know it well!
kosovo is Serbia
