This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

David Smyth (29 July 2016). "Dua Lipa talks about her teen years in Kosovo and why it's tough for new music artists to break through". Evening Standard. [Dua Lipa] is also often painted as a teenage runaway, the fact that her music sits towards the darker end of chart pop helping to push a bad-girl image. 'Be careful of my Wikipedia page,' she warns. 'At one point it said I was married to a Hungarian dentist.'

London?

Why does it say she was born in London? Isn't she from Albania? 185.85.155.156 (talk) 07:23, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As described in the article, Lipa was born in London while her parents are Kosovo Albanian. Trailblazer101 (talk) 22:17, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

She is British Albanian NOT English Albanian ... she was born to Albanian parents in England sure but there's no English DNA in her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.26.194.82 (talk) 07:30, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Harbu Darbu

This information was removed with the following edit summary: "per NOT, POV, BLP, WP:VNOT". Your thoughts?

The onus on those seeking to include per BLP. Name dropping Lipa doesn't warrant inclusion. This article should be about what is important to understanding her. --Hipal (talk) 14:16, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would also question the nobility for inclusion. - FlightTime (open channel) 14:35, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

She is an English singer of Albanian descent. Please change that to English singer and songwriter and get rid of Albanian and get rid of her citizenship details
