Stars unite against the Fifa Men’s World Cup

Qatar’s Fifa Men’s World Cup in the spotlight as stars unite against the event

With the Fifa Men’s World Cup just days away, a whole host of stars have united against the major sporting event.

Pop sensation Dua Lipa has denied reports she is due to perform in Qatar. Lipa says she will “look forward to visiting [the country] when it has fulfilled all the human rights pledges it made.”

“I will not be performing and nor have I ever been involved in any negotiation to perform.”

Fifa has been slammed for selecting Qatar as the host nation amid the nation’s stance on same-sex relationships, human rights record and treatment of migrant workers.

It follows Rod Stewart taking a similar stance.

He says he was offered over $1 million to play in Qatar for the World Cup. But he turned it down.

Stewart believes performing wasn’t an option. He also believes the “Iranian [football team] should be out [of the World Cup] too for supplying arms.”

But not everyone has turned down the cash.

Robbie Williams and Jung Kook from BTS are both set to perform.

Meanwhile, British comedian Joe Lycett has issued a very public ultimatum to Qatar World Cup ambassador David Beckham.

Lycett has promised to donate 10,000 pounds of his own money to charity, if Beckham ends his deal with Qatar.

Homosexuality is illegal in the country, and the comedian says he will shred the money just before the opening ceremony if Beckham refuses to cooperate.
