The 28-year-old artist said she tries to exercise restraint before making any statement
Pop star Dua Lipa said she was ready to accept the backlash for her political statements, after recently calling the military operations in Gaza “Israeli genocide”.
In an interview with the Radio Times, the 28-year-old artist said she tries to exercise restraint before making any statement, but if she feels it’s for the “greater good”, then she thinks it’s worth taking the risk.
The Grammy-winning singer last month reposted to her 88 million Instagram followers a graphic by the group Artists4Ceasefire, along with hashtag #AllEyesOnRafahwhich trended in the days following Israel’s shelling of Gaza City.
He wrote: “Burning children can never be justified. The whole world is mobilizing to stop the Israeli genocide. Please show your solidarity with Gaza.”

Recently, he referenced a rap song that called for violence against public figures who have expressed pro-Palestinian views.

Lipa told the Radio Times: “When I talk about things that are political, I double and triple check myself. However, this is about something much bigger than me and it’s necessary and that’s the only reason I’m posting it. That’s my only solace when I do this.”
The pop star also said that her family’s “heritage” has influenced her and made her highly politicized. In the same interview, Lipa revealed that she continues to support Labor and said she will vote for the party in the upcoming UK election, but has stopped personally supporting Keir Starmer.
