Pop star Dua Lipa has reportedly parted ways with her longtime representative, David Levy, following a dispute over their differing views on the conflict in Gaza.
The separation comes after Levy, a prominent agent at William Morris Endeavor (WME), was a lead signatory on a letter urging Glastonbury festival organizers to cancel the performance of the Belfast-based rap group Kneecap.
A source from the music industry told The Daily Mail that Dua Lipa, a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause, ensured through her team that Levy was no longer involved with her music. “She is very openly pro-Palestine, and that doesn’t align with David,” the source stated.
“She views him as being a supporter of Israel’s war in Gaza and the terrible treatment of the Palestinians.”
The source noted that the letter Levy signed and sent to Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis made his position clear to the singer.
The private and confidential email, as described by The Daily Mail, was sent to Michael Eavis, urging him to drop Kneecap due to alleged connections to Hezbollah.
However, despite the controversy, Kneecap performed at Glastonbury as scheduled.
British police received complaints about the group’s performance but, following an investigation, dropped the case, citing a lack of evidence of any criminal offense.
The group responded to the incident by calling it “political policing intimidation.”
Dua Lipa, who was born to Kosovan parents, has not shied away from using her platform to speak out on the issue.
With over 88 million followers on Instagram, she has previously called out what she termed “Israeli genocide” in Gaza.
She has also been seen at rallies in the UK condemning the country’s perceived complicity in the conflict.
While she has cut ties with Levy, she remains with the talent agency WME and is now represented by a different agent.
