Okay, queen

If you needed another reason to love Dua Lipa, look no further.

The star has long been a vocal supporter of Palestine, and if reports are true, she isn’t about to work with anyone who doesn’t share her views.

According to reports, Dua cut ties with her manager David Levy after he signed a letter calling for Kneecap to be removed from the Glastonbury lineup.

A source told the Daily Mail: “Dua made sure through her people that David Levy wasn’t working on her music any more. She is very openly pro-Palestine, and that doesn’t align with David.”

“She views him as being a supporter of Israel’s war in Gaza, and the terrible treatment of the Palestinians and that was made very clear through the letter that he signed and sent to Michael Eavis.”

Dua has since said that the story is false, but she does not, however, condone her former manager’s views.

Dua has long been vocal about her support for Palestinians. Last year, she told her 88 million followers: “Burning children alive can never be justified. The whole world is mobilising to stop the Israeli genocide. Please show your solidarity with Gaza.”

She has also criticised the “Israeli genocide” and called for an end to the conflict.

Kneecap have been banned from multiple festivals this year due to their condemnation of Israel and its role in the destruction of Gaza and its people.

The trio did play Glastonbury, but the BBC chose not to broadcast their performance, deeming it “high risk.” The band shared pro-Palestine messages on stage, and shared their support for Palestine Action – a campaign group who were recently banned in the UK.

Following their performance at the festival, a criminal investigation was launched into comments made by the trio. Charges have since been dropped.

Kneecap called the investigation “political policing intimidation” and said their performance at Glastonbury was a “celebration of love and solidarity.”
