Now Dua swings to dark side
Pop siren upsets fans by singing of cocaine
She has become a household name thanks to her catchy pop beats.
But Dua Lipa’s latest tune takes a darker turn – by referencing cocaine in the lyrics.
The star’s young fans could be in for a shock listening to We’re Good, which likens a rowing couple to “sleeping and cocaine”.
Fans reacted with concern at a leaked version of the tune on the OJZMusic site.
Dua sings: “We’re not meant to be like sleeping and cocaine/ So let’s at least agree to go our separate ways/ How can I judge you when you’re with/ Somebody else as long as you swear/ You won’t be p **** d when I do it myself/ Let’s end it like we should and say we’re good.”
The New Rules hitmaker has never spoken about drugs before.
After listening to the track, one fan said on Twitter: “Please, Dua, release the clean version of WG cause cocaine is just not it.”
And another added: “Dua coming for the controversy era with her cocaine lyric.”
Pop siren Dua, 25, is happily coupled up with Anwar Hadid
– the brother of models Gigi and
Bella. Sources close to the star say she didn’t write the lyrics to We’re Good, and it isn’t about an ex-boyfriend. Meanwhile, Dua has revealed she goes tee-total to protect her voice. She said: “I’ve also stopped drinking and I don’t smoke when I’m touring.”
Dua has previously spoken about the challenges of being a role model to so many.
In March 2019, she told ITV News: “As much as I have young fans, I have young girls that are the same age as I am.
“Being a role model, for me, I will do whatever is in my ability to be able to do what is right but at the same time, I am learning and I am not perfect.”
As a role model, I am still learning and I am not perfect
