Dua Lipa Calls Daily Mail Firing Story False as WME Clarifies Agent’s Exit

Her Instagram post calls the article clickbait that exploits a global tragedy.

Overview

  • The Daily Mail reported on Sept. 20 that she dropped longtime associate David Levy after he signed a petition urging Glastonbury to remove the rap trio Kneecap.
  • Lipa said the report was "completely false" and "deliberately inflammatory," adding, "It is always Free Palestine."
  • WME stated Levy moved into an advisory role in 2019 and fully stepped away from her project earlier in 2025.
  • The agency told the BBC that claims she dismissed an agent over political views were "categorically false."
  • The Daily Mail updated the article without an apology or clear notice, with the dispute set against Kneecap’s contested Glastonbury set and a member’s pending court appearance.
