Calvin Harris: blocked her from performing
Calvin Harris: I Will Never Let You Down
"You'll only know 1 side of the story RE Teen choice awards because I choose not to talk to the papers about every aspect of my personal life," he wrote in multiple tweets. "But just know I had a damn good reason."
Harris' short message follows Ora's last-minute cancellation at Sunday's (Aug. 10) Teen Choice Awards, where she was due to perform before not getting the rights.
Ora shared her side of the story earlier this week on Ryan Seacrest's radio show, revealing Harris (who wrote and produced the song) wouldn't give her the rights to do the track on live TV.
"For anybody who doesn't understand how it works, he wrote and produced the song. So he has to approve anything TV-wise for anybody who doesn't get it. And obviously he owns the rights to it and he didn't approve the Teen Choice Awards," Ora said. "I could have got told a few weeks earlier, you know. That would have been nice. It was a last minute change, but you know what, it happens and we move on and move forward."
Ora later said you would have to "ask Calvin" about his reasonings, but it seems like he won't share.
Harris and Ora announced their split in June. While dating, the two collaborated on numerous new songs, but Harris reportedly won't allow Ora to use any of their shared material, putting her second studio album in jeopardy.
