"I spent twenty thousand pounds on a s****y album that nobody ever got to listen to."

It’s starting to feel as if any artist discovered through social media is readily accused of being fake in some way, shape, or form. RØRY has been accused of being an industry plant, even of faking an ADHD diagnosis for her 'brand'. All she has to say on the matter? “Bro, if only I was that smart.”It’s easy to see how a few people have bought into the misconception – she’s been crowned Best UK Breakthrough Artist by the Heavy Music Awards, amassed over 30 million streams and sold out UK tours -...
