Rita Ora has claimed Sabrina Carpenter is snubbing her.
The Anywhere singer had sparked rumours of a possible collaboration with Carpenter last year, after posting a series of photos of the pair together on social media.
However, during an appearance on the In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele podcast, Ora admitted Carpenter is hard to get in touch with since her chart success.
Ora recalled the stars were once so close she even invited the Espresso singer to a New Year’s Eve party she hosted in New York: “They (Sabrina) came and it was amazing. I think it was like the peak before Espresso and you can’t get hold of Sabrina anymore.”
Carpenter enjoyed worldwide success with Espresso, with the upbeat pop single becoming one of the biggest hits of 2024.
Ora continued to discuss Carpenter failing to keep in touch as she made a light-hearted jibe aimed at the 26-year-old star.
She added with a laugh: “It was that time she would text me back.”
However, Ora then hastily insisted she was “joking” and had “exaggerated” Carpenter’s reluctance to contact her.
“No, I get it. I’m busy too,” the 34-year-old star backtracked. “No I’m so… I’m exaggerating. She does text me back. She’s so sweet.”
