Tired of the rumors reported by the media and fans, Dua Lipa decides to make things clear: no, she will not perform during the opening ceremony of the world Cup FIFA in Qatar. “At the moment there is a lot of speculation that I will perform at the opening ceremony of the World Cup. I will not and have never been involved in any negotiation to do so. I will cheer for England from afar,” the pop star explained in an Instagram Story adding that “He will look forward to visiting Qatar when the country has fulfilled all its human rights commitments.”
The same reason that would have prompted Rod Stewart to give up a fee of one million dollars to perform at the World Cup. While the presence of stars such as Robbie Williams, the Black Eyed Peas and the Colombian singer J Balvin is confirmed — not to mention this year’s big shot, aka the k-pop superstar JungKook of BTS, who will perform during the opening ceremony that on November 20, at the Al Bayt stadium, will precede the match between the team of the host nation and Ecuador – the problem raised by Dua Lipa is shared by many, without considering the numerous international organizations who have repeatedly denounced it state of human rights in Qatar.
In the country, for example, homosexuality is punished with imprisonment and, in some cases, with the death penalty, without considering the precarious conditions of foreign workers who built the stadiums. According to Guardian, from the moment of awarding the right to host the World Cup in Qatar more than 6,500 migrant workers from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka died. This, however, does not stop the organizational machine set up by Fifa, which has been able to count on the former captain of the English national team David Beckham as one of the “ambassadors” of the event as well as, we said, on JungKook of BTS – the Korean band, in fact, has decided to take a break to allow its members to pursue solo careers and carry out their compulsory military service in South Korea .
