Dua Lipa Distances Herself From Agent Over Palestine Stance
Dua Lipa has distanced herself from her former European agent David Levy after he signed a letter urging Glastonbury to ban Irish trio Kneecap due to their advocacy for Palestine. The singer, known for her pro-Palestine stance, has not been involved with Levy in her day-to-day business since 2019.
The letter, signed by top agents including Levy, expressed concern over Kneecap's political views and urged Glastonbury organisers to exclude them from the festival. Dua Lipa, who has been vocal about her support for Palestine, found Levy's involvement in the letter incompatible with her business.
Dua Lipa's management company WME has denied reports by The Daily Mail about her firing Levy. However, sources confirm that Levy's role in Dua Lipa's business had been reduced to an advisory position since 2019 and he was fully removed from her project earlier this year. Levy played a significant role in Dua Lipa's early business.
Dua Lipa's decision to distance herself from Levy reflects her commitment to her pro-Palestine stance. Despite Levy's past contributions to her business, Dua Lipa's current management team at WME has clarified that Levy's involvement in her business had been minimal for some time. The incident highlights the singer's dedication to her political beliefs and her willingness to take action when those beliefs are challenged.
