'Will cheer England on from afar': Dua Lipa debunks rumors that she will perform at FIFA World Cup 2022

For the World Cup finals, Qatar constructed seven stadiums, a new airport, a metro system, a network of highways, and roughly 100 new hotels. Around the stadium that will host the championship game, a whole city has been built. According to the government of Qatar, 30,000 foreign workers were employed specifically to construct the stadiums. The majority are from the Philippines, Bangladesh, India and Nepal. Qatar has subsequently faced severe backlash from human rights groups for its deplorable treatment of the migrant labour force leading to several countries, including Norway, to boycott the tournament.

Fans of the London-based singer have taken to Twitter to voice their feelings on the announcement. “Im so glad she’s a humanitarian, nicki take some notes and stop being selfish,” said a user in support of Lipa's humanitarian concerns while also taking a dig at rapper, Nicki Minaj. Another called her out by flipping her take and wrote, “Racism and the lack of freedom that is happening to Muslims in the countries of Europe is not talked about by anyone or sad now when what our religion ordered us was applied in an Arab country, did you feel sad? And talk about freedom, where is the justice?!! Lol”'
