Pop star Rita Ora fined by Jay Z for showing up late to the studio.
British pop star Rita Ora is slapped with a fine every time she turns up late to the recording studio.
The R.I.P. hitmaker is signed to Jay Z's Roc Nation record label, and the rap mogul ensures his artists are on time by charging them for every minute they are late.
Ora tells Nme, "I was late in the studio by 10 minutes and I got an email checking up on me. There's a fine if I'm late. I set that standard for myself, but now I'm regretting it.
"It's a small example of the way Jay is always on time and on point with his s**t. He doesn't try and make you do anything you don't want to do - he doesn't make you be on time - but he makes you realise you're only affecting yourself."Jacked from Contact Music

Studio time costs money, so I can understand him or any other label head doing this. If you can't get to the studio on time to work on your craft..why should he spend a dime on you?
He's not doing anything new, James Brown and Morris Day used to dock /fine people's pay right on stage. If they missed a step, or showed up late that would cost them.
How much does he fine Rihanna for being late to her concerts?
Hell show up late for a DOCTORS APPT. (some have 15min grace periods but...) yo' ISH gets XCANCELLEDX and then they politely ask YOU, Sir/Mam would you like 2 reschedule?! True Story: Dec. 26, 2000, day after Xmas MoFoes schedule me for work and Chgo Public Trans was BOGUS as usual and I showed up ONE-MINUTE LATE and was fired. Rita will get it right or go BROKE trying.
