Dua Lipa says she's "surprised and horrified" at DaBaby's comments about people with HIV and gay men.

The singer wrote on her Instagram story that she didn't "recognise this as the person I worked with" and stood "% with the LGBTQ community".

"We need to come together to fight the stigma and ignorance around HIV and Aids," she added.

Rapper DaBaby - a guest artist on Dua's hit, Levitating - has been criticised for comments he made at a US festival.

Performing at Rolling Blaring festival in Miami, he invited every audience member to "put your cell phone light up", apart from those who were HIV-positive or were gay men who had sex in automobile parks.

He also made the false claim that HIV will "make you depart in two or three weeks".

Medication helping those with HIV to live lengthy, healthy lives has been available for decades.

Dua describes it as a &#;beautiful coming-of-age love story&#; that&#;s &#;poetic and tender,&#; yet &#;burning with a quiet rage at the persecution the LGBTQ+ community in Poland has suffered for decades and continues to fight against today.&#;

As part of this month&#;s Book Club content, Dua&#;s done a Q&A with Tomasz. For context, you can study an article about LGBTQ rights in Poland; Tomasz has also contributed a reading list and a playlist of songs he listened to while writing the book.
