Dua Lipa responds after claims she fired agent

Correction: Dua Lipa has since claimed that the below story is false.

An industry source reportedly 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."

However Dua Lipa has since come out and denied these claims.

In a statement, Lipa criticised Levy's attempt to silence Kneecap, but said the Mail's "deliberately inflammatory" story had been "crafted... to fuel online division".

"I do not condone the actions of David Levy or other music executives toward an artist speaking their truth," she wrote on her Instagram story.

"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," she added, "but exploiting a global tragedy in order to sell newspapers is something I find deeply troubling."

In a separate statement, WME told the BBC: "Reports suggesting that Dua Lipa or her management dismissed one of our agents because of his political views are categorically false".
