Fan asks Dua Lipa for a photo, but she says she's busy walking

[NachoCheese]

Wanna photo?

Then get a VIP ticket for her upcoming tour 

[boyinthemirror]

I swear fans are sometimes worse than paparazzi. Be thoughtful and respect her space... 

I knew Dua since Last Dance and I think it's very sad what happened after she became mainstream. So many people who don't even like her act like they're her biggest fans just because she's "in" and she's the epitome of how a beautiful woman "should look like". Look how the "fan" shared this and insulted her on social media after the encounter  People don't listen or genuinely enjoy music, their bonds with their idols are not special... It's all fake and pretend.

Not Dua Lips being a diva while not actually being a diva  @CrazyButItFeelsAllright yes I'm shading her 

 

I mean if I had someone charging at me with a bike all frazzled and I was walking my dog I would’ve said no too  

[Kaitlyn Johnson]

I get just wanting to go about your day without being bothered, but if it’s a quick thing and it’s not a mob of people..just do it and keep moving. Would she have ignored a stranger on the street if they were asking for help? Stay humble girl. 

[blackguillemot]

Fans are so selfish, I wish they could chill. I think it's rude to approach person randomly living life off stage/screen and interfere.

But if you're a celeb isn't that what you would expect? 

I mean it's beyond me why he would be excited to get a picture with ha but nontheless she still has a cute little number of followers and maybe he just wanted to impress y'all on tiktok and instagram  he was just excited, cut your Loves some slack.

I think that artist and entertainer already give so much of themselves as it is in what they do, in what they share, that even doing something as basic as walking a pet draws in a lot of attention on top of all the attention they receive.

Additionally, I would be concerned for my safety if I were as recognized by the world as they are.  Christina Grimmie was shot to death while signing autographs for fans after her concert.  Celebs can be grateful for their fans and can choose to keep their personal space personal

[Kritney]

In all fairness, if you had to stop and take a random pic with a random stranger every 15 seconds while trying to walk your dog, you’d get over it pretty quick…

[frederiickx]

So? She could have been in a bad mood or she was just busy walking her dog and didn't feel like it. She wasn't rude.

I mean I am empathetic after what Britney has gone through, but I do agree she should’ve just said “sorry not right now.” Once, at a Rachel Platten concert my sister and I caught her briefly in the lobby and stopped to tell her what a good set she had and how much I loved her music and asked for a picture. She very sweetly told me she needed to find a restroom but would be right back and I completely understood. Dua was probably just startled by the manic fan. I mean can’t blame him, but he did need to have some chill 

[janetjackson]

I don't think it was rude at all.

[Lou]

I hate tik tok and that narrator voice 

 

I HATE IT WITH ALL MY HEART

[gapeach704]

I’m more focused on her letting her dog walk behind her and into other people 

Still love Doola Peep though

Let them be .. I have seen tons of celebs in NYC  when I go to work.. most you do not even recognize. Yet when you realize oh thats so and so.. who cares .. keep walking or ok whatever .. sometimes cool  .  Let them be . My job was below a celebrity agency and only one celebrity man I disliked .. His more famous wife was sweet and smiles and said thank you for holding the door .. .. yet he was rude to me while I held the door for them so I could go to work. Her I liked .. him instantly thought .. “F U “ .  Dua I would not know, yet I like some of her music .. I just do not know her face like Britneys . No do I follow her . If I met her I would still not know her .. Just never cared 🤷🏼‍♂️.. The girl saying she’s  rude for not taking a photo is rude. Leave Dua alone . Sorry just how I feel .

I met her a while back, as she came in for a performance at the resort I worked at and I dealt with meeting her and her family and dealing with their transportation. 

 

The entire family was hyped but she was soft spoken and clearly exhausted. I spoke to her, and offered congratulations on her Grammy nominations, told her that I'm a fan and what not (not asking for a photo because she was clearly physically done), and she was so sweet and humble. Me congratulating her and not asking for a photo seemed to have taken her a back a little and she seemed really grateful for the genuine compliment. 

 

I do believe she could've been a little more tactful in her response here, but I can imagine how tiring her life must be, and just getting that little break to walk her dog gives her some peace. Had he not approach her with the camera recording already he may have gotten a different response.

How would you guys feel if you’re at the supermarket and right behind you is your boss telling you to do something for work. Not the time not the place.

He was polite to ask and who knows… probably she was having a bad day. 

[Socialitemike]

I’m just wondering why he didn’t ask Yolanda from RHOBH for a pic! She’s more iconic 💃🏽

[itsjames]

I'm def taking Dua's side here. She can't be Dua Lipa the singer 24/7. She needs her personal time too and be off-duty. She owes none of her personal time to fans/the public.

[Britney'sBish]

I side with Dua on this, dude was being a tw@t.

[bas che]

Suppose she did stop for a photo. Hordes of fans will probably invite themselves and she won’t see the end of it.
 

It’s understandable that she continued walking past him. I’ve seen colder attitudes from other celebs.
