    Had no idea anything about her personal life. I thought she was a vapid guilty pleasure I enjoyed on the freeway. This is dope to learn.

      I try to avoid admiring celebrities too much, but Dua is my very non-guilty pleasure, and she seems to be a better pop star role model than many I can think of. In addition to this advocacy for literacy and free speech, she was critical of Israel even before the October 7th attacks, when it was much less common sentiment, and probably cost her fans. Stuff like that; her wikipedia is littered with examples of her being on the right side of history.

      And her music is legit great. Future Nostalgia is incredible.
