Dua Lipa condemns ‘categorically false’ report she fired agent over anti-Kneecap stance
Dua Lipa’s full statement on ‘false’ allegations she fired agent over Palestine
- Pop star Dua Lipa refuted a "deliberately inflammatory" MailOnline report claiming she fired agent David Levy over his alleged attempt to prevent the Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap from performing at Glastonbury.
- Lipa's agency, William Morris Endeavour (WME), clarified that Levy ceased working with Lipa in 2019, making the report "categorically false."
- Lipa said: “I do not condone the actions of David Levy or other music executives toward an artist speaking their truth. I also cannot ignore how this has been handled in the press. Not only was the story completely false but the language used by the Daily Mail has been deliberately inflammatory, crafted purely for clickbait, clearly designed to fuel online division. It is always Free Palestine but exploiting a global tragedy in order to sell newspapers is something I find deeply troubling.”
- Kneecap's Glastonbury performance proceeded, despite a leaked letter urging their removal and a band member facing a terror charge for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag, which he denies.
- MailOnline has since updated its article. Lipa has consistently advocated for a ceasefire in Gaza and criticised UK arms sales to Israel.
