Boy George took to Twitter yesterday to go on an unsubstantiated rant against Dua Lipa following backlash to his AI-created, reggae-inspired pro-Israel anthem. In a subsequent post, he criticizes Annie Lennox.
Summary and select tweets under the cut:
“‘Why is [Dua Lipa] allowed to say ‘Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth’ and I get abuse for defending my Jewish friends?’ he posted, tagging the New Rules singer.
When an X user asked for Boy George’s source for the Dua Lipa quote, he shared screenshots showing pictures of the singer with text overlaid reading: ‘Dua Lipa: As long as Israel continues to exist on Earth there will be no peace,’ and, ‘Singer Dua Lipa claiming there will be no peace while Israel exists is circulating widely.'”
It’s just a bit of disco! pic.twitter.com/diTKZA5X79

Instead of announcing ‘I will never go to Isreal’ why doesn’t Annie Lennox do a concert in Palestine or do an online concert? I wonder if all this is about her bitter divorce with a Jewish guy?

We should all be screaming for peace not taking sides or juggling atrocities. pic.twitter.com/gkjxDsn35L
