British singer and model, Dua Lipa, recently refuted the rumors of performing at the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Her management team contacted Lens and confirmed that she is not among the FIFA World Cup performers.
The Sweetest Pie singer posted a statement on her official Instagram account, detailing that she is not going to perform at the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar because the country has failed to fulfill all the human rights it pledges.
The news soon went viral all over the internet and netizens start criticizing Dua Lipa for her hypocrisy. Twitterati questioned the One Kiss singer for performing in France and other ‘Islamophobic’ countries, and even in Dubai which has the same regulations as Qatar.
Here are a few tweets that lambast the Grammy award winner for performing in India, France, and China that all suppress the basic human rights of Muslims.

Dua Lipa also works with Puma which is an openly Zionist company. Plus, she has performed in China ignoring the plight of uyghur muslims and Dubai which has the same rules as Qatar.
But suddenly Qatar is where she draws the line? https://t.co/vW5NR59l9z
