Overview
- The Mail on Sunday had reported that Lipa dismissed agent David Levy after he signed a letter urging Glastonbury organizers to remove the Irish rap trio Kneecap.
- Lipa said on Instagram that the story was completely false and criticized the coverage as deliberately inflammatory.
- WME told the BBC that Levy has not been part of Lipa’s team since 2019, described any later involvement as advisory only, and called the firing reports categorically false.
- Levy is reported to have signed a message to Michael and Emily Eavis seeking Kneecap’s removal following allegations the group praised Hezbollah at performances.
- Industry fallout continues, with Massive Attack announcing it will remove its music from services operating in Israel and a Kneecap member awaiting a 26 September sentencing on a terrorism charge.
