“I look forward to visiting Qatar when it has fulfilled all the human rights pledges it made when it won the right to host the World Cup,” the British songstress said.
Dua Lipa took to social media on Sunday to clear the air regarding whispers of an upcoming performance in Qatar, where the World Cup is set to take place later this month. In a statement posted to her Instagram Story, the British songstress denied that she would be appearing at the FIFA event’s opening ceremony. “I will not be performing and nor have I ever been involved in any negotiations to perform,” she said.
“I look forward to visiting Qatar when it has fulfilled all the human rights pledges it made when it won the right to host the World Cup,” the singer wrote. Widespread outrage over Qatar’s mistreatment of its migrant workers—more than 6,500 of whom have died since 2010, according to—has been steadily growing as the competition looms.
