Dua Lipa responded to the reaction she faced last year for being filmed at a strip club after the Grammy.
The star and other artists who were present at the Los Angeles location, including Lizzo and Lil Nas X, were criticized for “exploiting women” and being “anti-feminist”.
After a footage of Lipa throwing money at women and putting notes on dancers’ underwear was posted online, the hashtag #dualipaloverparty became a trend on Twitter.
In a new interview, Lipa commented on the online furor surrounding the after-party. “I just feel that if you are a feminist, you also have to support women in all areas of work,” she said Rolling Stone.
“We have to support sex workers, we have to believe that [work] it is your choice and your right. It seems quite hypocritical, I think, people choosing and choosing how they want to support women and when it suits them. This is another form of misogyny, which really stems from the male eye. “
Earlier this month, Lipa shared how her experience of running her own social media channels caused her anxiety, forcing her to hand over control to her management team.
“I would be anxious,” she said. “And I thought, ‘This shouldn’t be the way I’m experiencing this once in a lifetime experience.’ I was messing with my confidence. I would be super nervous, wondering what everyone is going to say. “
Meanwhile, the singer recently participated in a remix of the song ‘Real Groove’ by Kylie Minogue.
The reworked track originally appeared at the live concert at Studio 2054 in Lipa and features added instrumentation and a slightly more upbeat rhythm, as well as vocals by the London singer.
