Dua Lipa Clarifies Reports Suggesting She Fired Her Former Agent Due To His Pro-Israel Stance

Dua Lipa at the Chaplin Awards earlier this yearDua Lipa has spoken out after recent reports about the parting of ways between herself and her former agent.Over the weekend, the Daily Mail published a story linking Dua ending her professional relationship with David Levy and the fact he had reportedly signed a letter over the summer calling on Glastonbury organisers to drop Kneecap from their line-up amid controversy surrounding comments the group had made about Israel and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.Posting on her Instagram story on Tuesday evening, the Houdini singer – who has previously expressed solidarity with Palestine – maintained that while she does “not condone the actions of David Levy or other music executives toward an artist speaking their truth” she 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,” she insisted.Dua added: “It is always Free Palestine but exploiting a global tragedy in order to sell newspapers is something I find deeply troubling.”Dua Lipa calls out the Daily Mail for sharing a false story which involved the singer firing David Levy as her manager:“It is always Free Palestine but exploiting a global tragedy in order to sell newspapers is something I find deeply troubling.” pic.twitter.com/sPGKy1FsJA— Pop Base (@PopBase) September 23, 2025Meanwhile, Dua’s agency WME also issued a statement to BBC News, which read: “Reports suggesting that Dua Lipa or her management dismissed one of our agents because of his political views are categorically false”.Pointing out that Dua and David worked together in her “early career”, the company’s statement said that the pair officially stopped working together as far back as 2019, although he remained “in an advisory role” on her team until “earlier this year”, at which point they said he moved on to other projects.The Mail’s online article has now been updated to reflect this, as well as correcting an error suggesting that David had at one point served as Dua’s manager, which is not the case.So far, 2025 has seen Dua touring the UK in support of her latest album Radical Optimism, notably including two sold-out Wembley Stadium shows, and announcing her engagement to the British actor Callum Turner.READ MORE:Dua Lipa Reveals How She Really Felt About Her Latest Album Being 'Snubbed' By The GrammysMiley Cyrus Just Made An Unexpected Admission About Her Dua Lipa Duet'For God's Sake, Girl!': Gordon Ramsay Gives Dua Lipa's Viral Diet Coke Recipe A Very Honest Review
