David Levy was allegedly among the music industry figures who signed a leaked letter urging Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis<\/a> to drop the pro-Palestine<\/a> group from the bill of this year\u2019s festival. <\/p>\n Mail Online claimed that Lipa parted ways with Levy after learning about the letter. However, the British-Albanian pop star\u2019s agency WME has called the story \u201ccategorically false\u201d and clarified that Levy stopped working with Lipa in 2019. <\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Mail Online claimed that Dua Lipa parted ways with Daniel Levy after learning about a letter he signed urging Glastonbury to drop Kneecap (Getty)<\/p>\n In her own statement, shared on Instagram stories on Tuesday, Lipa wrote: \u201cI do not condone the actions of David Levy or other music executives toward an artist speaking their truth. I also cannot ignore how this has been handled in the press.<\/p>\n \u201cNot 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.\u201d<\/p>\n She added: \u201cIt is always Free Palestine but exploiting a global tragedy in order to sell newspapers is something I find deeply troubling.\u201d<\/p>\n WME said in a statement: \u201cReports suggesting that Dua Lipa or her management dismissed one of our agents because of his political views are categorically false.\u201d<\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Dua Lipa shared a statement to her Instagram stories (Instagram\/Dua Lipa)<\/p>\n Acknowledging that Levy played a role in Lipa\u2019s \u201cearly career\u201d, the company said he had shifted to an advisory role in 2019 until earlier this year when he moved on to other projects.<\/p>\n Kneecap\u2019s Glastonbury performance ultimately went ahead,<\/a> with the group leading their audience in chants of \u201cF*** Keir Starmer\u201d after the prime minister stated that he did not think it was \u201cappropriate\u201d <\/a>for them to play the festival.<\/p>\n The letter to Eavis, which was originally brought to public attention by former BBC Radio DJ Toddla T \u2013 who produced Kneecap\u2019s 2024 album Fine Art \u2013 came after band member Liam \u00d3g \u00d3 hAnnaidh was charged with a terror offence <\/a>for allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a 2024 gig. <\/p>\n open image in gallery<\/p>\n Kneecap\u2019s Liam Og O hAnnaidh speaks to supporters as he leaves Westminster Magistrates\u2019 Court in London (PA)<\/p>\n He denies the charge and has said in interviews that the flag was thrown onstage and he picked it up without realising. He is due back in court on Friday 26 September to learn whether the charges will proceed to a trial. <\/p>\n Mail Online has since updated its story to reflect the statements from Lipa and WME.<\/p>\n Lipa has repeatedly called for a ceasefire in Gaza and condemned the UK for selling arms to Israel<\/a>. In May, she condemned Israeli airstrikes on displacement camps in southern Gaza: \u201cBurning children alive can never be justified,\u201d she wrote on Instagram. \u201cThe whole world is mobilising to stop the Israeli genocide. Please show your solidarity with Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n Israel has repeatedly denied that it is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. A UN commission of inquiry said last week that Israel had committed genocide. <\/p>\n![\"Mail](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2222523041.jpg\")
