Dua Lipa has appeared on a Thank God For Immigrants billboard in London.
It’s thought the billboard, in White City, is from campaign group Everyone Hates Elon.
The 29-year-old was born in London to Kosovo-Albanian parents, Anesa and Dukagjin Lipa, and moved to the country’s capital of Pristina aged 11, when her family returned after Kosovo gained its independence in 2008, before moving back to London aged 15.
The group are behind a similar advert in Liverpool which features Queen’s Freddie Mercury.
It was placed in the city as it was the first place Queen played together.
They posted on Instagram earlier this week: “Freddie Mercury came to the UK as a kid because people that looked like him were being killed back home in Zanzibar.
“In the UK, he formed Queen.
“In the UK, he became a global icon.
“But he didn't become British by getting famous. He became British by building a life here. Just as a factory worker, or a doctor, or anybody else does.
“Billionaires want you to hate immigrants, so we don't blame them for our problems.
“We won't fall for it.”
The group says the billboards were inspired by the work of Jeremy Deller, who has created art featuring the same phrase.
They have not yet posted about the Dua board.
In August, she said she was “feeling grateful” after being awarded citizenship of Kosovo by the country’s president.
In a post on Instagram, Lipa said: “Feeling so grateful to have been awarded my Kosovan citizenship by our president @vjosaosmani.”
Kosovo’s president, Vjosa Osmani, posted a picture of herself presenting a certificate of citizenship to the Houdini singer with a caption saying “welcome home Dua”.
She added: “Special honour that today, by presidential decree, to grant citizenship of the Republic of Kosovo to Dua Lipa, one of the most important cultural and artistic personalities in the history of our country.
“Dua and Kosovo have always been inseparable. She has been and continues to be one of the most powerful voices on the world’s biggest stages, making history with her achievements and becoming an inspiration to millions of people around the globe for Kosovo, for our youth, for our art and for the international image of our country.
“Dua, Kosovo is always proud of you.”
