It has been reported that Dua Lipa has cut ties with her longtime agent, David Levy, after learning that he signed a letter to Glastonbury asking to ban Kneecap from the festival.
Levy was allegedly even the very first signature on the letter after the Belfast rap trio were accused of supporting Hezbollah terrorists.
Dua Lipa (30) has been very vocal in her support of Palestine. According to industry sources, this meant that Dua and Levy no longer aligned with one another.
The industry 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."
Ahead of this year's Glastonbury festival, there were many calls to ban the Irish group from performing at the festival, with even Prime Minister Starmer speaking out against the controversial group.
Kneecap are very vocal about being pro-Palestinian, typically speaking out at their shows, such as at their Coachella performance back in April, which caused lots of backlash from critics claiming the group promote terrorist organisations or spreads hate.
Around the same time, footage resurfaced of Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig in London in 2024.
Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terror offence but has since been released on bail.
Dua Lipa has also used her platform to speak out and show her support for Palestine.
In an interview before headlining Glastonbury in 2024, she spoke about being willing to receive backlash for her political beliefs:
"When I speak about things that are political, I double-, triple-check myself to be, 'OK, this is about something that is way bigger than me, and it’s necessary, and that’s the only reason I’m posting it.' That is my only solace in doing that."
"It’s always going to be met with a backlash and other people’s opinions, so it’s a big decision. I balance it out, because ultimately I feel it’s for the greater good, so I’m willing to [take that hit]," per the Radio Times.
