Who would believe that the massively famous singer Dua Lipa would live in the fear of social media trolls? Criticising the trolls in an interview with Elle US magazine, she said that it makes her “live in fear of not being good enough”.
Dua said that she remembers before finding fame, she never really felt “hate” and added that people “want to stunt your growth. They scrutinise you and tell you what you should look like or what you should do or ask why did you cut your hair? You constantly live in fear of not being good enough. It’s crazy; you have to be really strong.”
She revealed how she got some good advice from colleagues in the industry like Katy Perry who told her “I hope you don’t search your name”. Dua said Katy advised her ‘Do not have notifications on. Do not read that s***, because it will stop you from doing what you love’.”
This is not the first time that Dua has opened up about dealing with harassment online. In February, Dua shared a series of tweets in which she spotted two women’s appearances being compared on her timeline.
She wrote: “Takes 10 seconds on the tl [timeline] to see people comparing women and their wrinkles. I hope everyone engaging in this toxic a** behaviour stays plump af for the rest of their lives bc [because] reality gonna bite you in the arse.”
We wish you strength and hope you continue to make good music without a care to the world.
