British pop-singer Dua Lipa has reportedly dropped her agent after he signed a letter calling for Irish band Kneecap, which has been vocally pro-Palestine, to be banned from the Glastonbury Festival in July.
The letter was sent from a "very systemically powerful music agent" and was later criticised by Kneecap.
While Lipa remains with the same talent company, William Morris Endeavour, she is now being represented by a different agent there.
Responding to the news, Kneecap wrote: "Sayōnara" on X, a Japanese word for farewell and also one of the song names.
British band Massive Attack, who have also been vocal on the Palestinian cause, dropped Levy over his pro-Israeli stance.
