The main reason why Dua Lipa won't perform at World Cup 2022 in Qatar.

The singer, who is of Albanian descent, was reportedly approached to sing at the event, but has decided against it due to Qatar’s treatment of migrant workers.

Dua Lipa joins a growing list of artists who have boycotted the World Cup over human rights concerns. Last year, Beyoncé and Jay-Z cancelled their scheduled performance at a World Cup concert in Doha.

Human rights groups have criticized Qatar’s treatment of migrant workers, who make up the majority of the country’s population. Reports of exploitation and abuse are common, and Amnesty International has described Qatar’s labor system as “modern slavery.”

Qatar has denied the allegations and has promised to improve conditions for workers. However, Dua Lipa says she does not believe the country is making enough progress. “I don’t think the World Cup should be held in a country where people are treated like this,” Dua Lipa said in an interview with The Guardian. “I think it would be hypocritical of me to perform.”

Dua Lipa is the latest artist to boycott the World Cup over human rights concerns. She joins a growing list of artists that includes Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Rihanna. “I will not besilenced, controlled or supplied by anyone other than my fans,” Dua Lipa wrote.

“The World Cup is something that brings people of all races, religions and cultures together, so it is truly disappointing that Dua Lipa has chosen to reject the opportunity to perform at the event,” a spokesperson for Qatar said in a statement to The Guardian.

Qatar has been widely criticized for its human rights record, and Dua Lipa is just one of the latest celebrities to take a stand against the country. Earlier this year, Nicki Minaj cancelled her performance at a music festival in Qatar after learning of the conditions faced by migrant workers there.
