Dua Lipa Dons Chic Black in NYC Amid Agent Controversy
DUA LIPA DITCHES HER AGENT OVER ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONTROVERSY!
In a shocking move, pop sensation Dua Lipa has dumped her long-time agent David Levy after he sparked outrage by trying to block pro-Palestinian rappers Kneecap from performing at Glastonbury. The 30-year-old singer's decision comes as no surprise, given her vocal support for the Palestinian cause and her disgust at Levy's attempt to silence the group.
Spotted out and about in New York City on Sunday with her dashing father Dukagjin, 56 - who also happens to be her manager - Dua looked every inch the sophisticated starlet. Her high-necked black midi dress was a stunning example of her impeccable fashion sense, complete with a structural corset bodice that showcased her toned physique. But it was her sparkling diamond engagement ring from fiancé Callum Turner that really caught the eye - estimated to be worth between £62,000 and £93,000, the stunning sparkler is a serious investment in their future together.
The couple's relaxed outing came after Dua made the bold move of distancing herself from Levy. Sources close to the singer reveal that she was furious when news of the letter he co-signed broke, urging festival founder Michael Eavis and his daughter Emily to drop Kneecap due to their alleged support for Hezbollah terrorists. The email, marked 'private and confidential', had been leaked by an unknown party, revealing Levy's true colors and sparking outrage among Palestinian supporters.
Dua has long been a vocal advocate for the Palestinian cause, condemning the "Israeli genocide" in Gaza in an impassioned Instagram post last May. She has also joined other artists to protest "UK complicity in Gaza", while voicing her condolences for the Israeli lives lost on October 7. Given her strong stance, it's little wonder she decided to cut ties with Levy - who she views as a supporter of Israel's war in Gaza and the "terrible treatment" of Palestinians.
The singer's decision to dump Levy has sent shockwaves through the music industry, with many of her fans applauding her for taking a stand. And while Kneecap did ultimately perform at Glastonbury, despite Levy's protestations, their set was met with controversy - police received complaints about their performance, although no further action was taken.
As one insider reveals: "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."
But what does this mean for Dua's future in the music industry? Insiders claim she is still represented by talent company William Morris Endeavor, although now by a different agent. It seems Dua is willing to take a stand and fight for what she believes in - even if it means making waves in the music industry.
And as for Callum Turner, Dua's fiancé has been supportive of her every move - including her decision to dump Levy. The couple's engagement is still going strong, with insiders revealing that they are planning a low-key wedding ceremony later this year. With Dua's career on the upswing and her personal life in bloom, it seems she's got nothing but love and success on the horizon!
