Rita Ora Is Surrounded By Clones And A Cardi B Hologram In 'Girls' Video

Rita Ora's "Girls" has been a controversial sandwich smeared with a helping of fury and also a side of countless apologies. Several music fans and singers had a problem with the Charli XCX-, Bebe Rexha-, and Cardi B- featuring track and why it presented queer love. So, the Helmi-directed music video was entering a contentious landscape where any visual could be heavily scrutinized.


The video for females is a muted affair, which finds Ora on a Amazonian type island surrounded by females who mirror the pop star. As Rita sings, the females dressed in nude-colored lingerie and sporting Ora's aspects brunette and blonde hair, lounge around her. It isn't up until Rita's co-stars arrive that the visual dips into the surreal. Charli XCX roams around a pitch-black jungle, Rexha is trapped in a funhouse reflect, and Cardi is a rapping hologram in a futuristic landscape.


It is unclear if the females video will reignite the ill will towards the song. In early May, Hayley Kiyoko criticized its "dangerous message," calling it "downright tone-deaf," while Kehlani deemed it "awkward." Soon, Rita Ora revealed she had had romantic relationships with women in the past. Other featured artists like Cardi apologized, saying she had no "bad intentions" once creating the song, and Charli XCX mentioned she wanted to "learn from this situation" in an interview with Rolling Stone.
