"I do not condone the actions of David Levy or other music executives toward an artist speaking their truth. I also cannot ignore how this has been handled in the press. Not only was the story completely false but the language used by the Daily Mail has been deliberately inflammatory, crafted purely for clickbait, clearly designed to fuel online division. It is always Free Palestine but exploiting a global tragedy in order to sell newspapers is something I find deeply troubling."
"Reports suggesting that Dua Lipa or her management dismissed one of our agents because of his political views are categorally false. David Levy played a role in Dua's early career (2016-2019) and as is customary, is credited both internally and in industry journals as being a member of the team. When he moved out of London in 2019, he transitioned into an advisory role and has not been involved in Dua's day-to-day business since. Levy fully removed himself from the project among others earlier this year."
Dua Lipa denied firing an agent over the Kneecap controversy and condemned the MailOnline story as false and deliberately inflammatory. William Morris Endeavour stated that reports claiming dismissal over political views were categorically false and clarified that David Levy worked with Lipa from 2016–2019, transitioned to an advisory role after moving out of London in 2019, and removed himself from the project earlier this year. Levy was an alleged signatory of a leaked letter urging Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis to drop Kneecap. The letter surfaced after Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged over allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag; he denies those allegations.
