John Legend has defended Rita Ora, after fans accused her of lip syncing during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade.
A Twitter user tweeted, “Why are people surprised @RitaOra lip synced during the #MacysDayParade they all do it. Did everyone miss @johnlegend doing the same thing?”
And John quickly clapped back by replying, “We all have to lip sync on this parade because the floats don’t have the capacity to handle the sound requirements for a live perfomance.”
The 39-year-old then clarified that vocals at his own concerts are always “100% live.”
Fun fact. We all have to lip sync on this parade because the floats don’t have the capacity to handle the sound requirements for a live performance. Hope y’all enjoyed it anyway. Know that if you come to my shows, the vocals are 100% live! https://t.co/C2bGj63AF6

Rita thanked John for his support, by tweeting, “Thank you for clarifying what I was about to also tweet.”
“It’s annoying for us but anyway! All of my shows are 100 percent live always have been!”
