Singer Dua Lipa She is one of the most important singers in the world today, so it is not strange that she is hired to perform at top-level events such as openings and ceremonies of sports tournaments. He already did it in the Champions Leaguefor example, so his name was on the table to participate in the long-awaited opening of the World Cup in Qatar.
That possibility has been closed suddenly and it has been she herself who has given the reasons: lack of respect for human rights in the country.
«I will not perform at the opening ceremonynor was there any negotiation for him to do so«, he stated in a story on instagram in which he has settled the debate.
The British singer of Kosovar Albanian origin has reacted to the speculation with a statement that leaves no room for doubt. “I will be supporting England from afar and I am looking forward to visit Qatar when you meet all human rights requirements that he promised when they got the right to hold the tournament,” he said.
Dua Lipa is one of the most relevant figures who have positioned themselves in favor of the rights of the LGTBI collective, whose presence in Qatar will be directly prohibited. The harassment and criminalization of homosexuals is one of the most controversial points, but far from the only one, of a World Cup in which freedoms will be very restricted from the start.
In the absence of a few days for the opening match to be held, the artists who will perform at the opening ceremony have not been confirmed. Shakira, J. Balvin o Black Eyed Peas They are among the strong candidates.
