Rita Ora, Madonna film music video together

Singers Rita Ora and Madonna have filmed a secret music video together in New York.

Ora, 24, flew into New York Friday night to meet up with the 56-year-old superstar for the shoot, after the two had a "real connection" when they met at various showbiz events, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"It's an incredible coup for Rita to do a video with Madonna and shows how big she is becoming in the States. They met at showbiz events but had a real connection so Madonna asked her to do it. Rita changed her schedule to be able to do it in an instant," a source told The Sun newspaper.

 

The two stars bonded when Ora defended Madonna over the abuse she was receiving for grabbing Drake and kissing him on-stage at Coachella Music Festival.

At the time, the "How we do" singer posted a picture of Madonna in a 1990's photoshoot on photo-sharing website Instagram.

She captioned it: "Thank you for fighting all these ageist battles and paving a way, that maybe just one day, all of us 'Younger' artists won't have too in the future! @madonna #ifuckinlovethisbitch #thatshwhatlegendsdo (sic)".
