Media reports on the discharge and the alleged reasons
What was previously said in the media: The singer had fired her former manager David Levy after it became known that he was involved in a campaign that the Irish band Kneecap, which repeatedly expressed pro-Palestine, wanted to have the Glastonbury Festival Lineup removed. The reason for this should have been the critical statements of the band on Israel’s military missions in Gaza.
Reaction of management and artist
Both Dua Lipa and WME, their management, contradict these representations of the media. WME said David Levy had no direct tasks in daily business since 2019. At the beginning of 2025, he even completely withdrawn from projects by the singer. Her father, Dukagjin Lipa, has been managed the singer since 2022.
Criticism of British media reports
In an Instagram story, Dua Lipa described the media reports as “completely wrong” and criticized the entire approach of the “Daily Mail”: “Not only was the story completely wrong, the language of the” Daily Mail “was also deliberately provocative and on clickbait. It is always Free Palestine, but I find a deeply problematic manner to take advantage of a global tragedy for newspaper sales, ”said the British.
Commitment of the singer for Gaza
Dua Lipa has repeatedly demanded a “humanitarian ceasefire” for the Gaza Strip several times. In May 2025, she condemned the Israeli air raids on refugee camps in southern Gazas: “The burning of children can never be justified,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. Later, together with other celebrities such as Benedict Cumberbatch, Gary Lineker, Amelia Dimoldenberg and Riz Ahmed, she signed an open letter in which the British government was asked to stop weapon export to Israel.
