Dua Lipa has revealed that she gets accused of “hating” men – something she says is “a total misconception.”
She gained massive popularity with her 2017 hit, “New Rules,” which she considers a sisterhood anthem. Because many of her songs encourage female empowerment.
“I wanted it to be about the rules you would tell your girlfriends,” Dua said of the track. “I think sisterhood is really important. It’s really important to take care of the girls around you and keep your friends close.”
She described the song being about “someone weighing you down” and someone “who’s really cramping your mood or making you feel bad.”
Dua continues that it’s about the “energy” you surround yourself with and it’s up to you to decide if the person is “toxic” or not.
“A lot of men come up to me and say, ‘You really hate men, don’t you?’,” That’s a total misconception” she said
“Some of the songs are unfiltered, and I don’t hold back,” Dua continued. “I think gender norms are definitely a massive rule that should be broken.”
Lipa also suggested an extra “rule” that could be added to the ‘New Rules’ lyrics: “Quite frankly, block them on social media.”
