Bebe Rexha hopes to bring Rita Ora, Dua Lipa and Ava Max together for a song
Bebe Rexha has revealed she has tried to bring Rita Ora, Dua Lipa and Ava Max together to release a song.
The singer revealed that she had hoped to include a song on her new album Better Mistakes featuring Dua, Rita and Ava Max, all of whom have Albanian heritage like her.
Bebe, 31, told The Sun’s Bizarre column that she has tried to get everyone together but hasn’t been able to make it happen so far: ‘I have really tried.’
She continued: ‘For me, I would really love to do something together but I’m not sure that will ever happen. And I won’t say any more about that.’
Bebe admitted that it is hard to see women being pitted against each other in the music industry despite the fact there is still a minority of female stars in comparison to male.
She explained: ‘It’s weird because I know how it is to be a girl and sometimes we can get really competitive. I’m not even talking about me, Dua, Rita and Ava, I’m just talking about females in general. What happens is there’s not enough women at the table.’
Bebe revealed that in the USA a few years ago 80 percent of the songs played on radio were by male artists compared to just 20 percent by female artists, showing that representation across the board was much smaller for women than men.
She added: ‘That’s messed up. When we see that there’s only 20 per cent of us, we feel like we have to compete, we’re a minority in the music industry.
‘It’s sad that there’s an unspoken competitiveness because I see it as, how awesome is it that we all have our own levels of success?
‘I would love for it to happen because I know all of these girls individually and
they’re all awesome chicks. I’m just really f**king proud that we’re four girls with similar blood from the same place.’
