I want Lipa S'ka had an official invitation to Independence Day.

I want Lipa has not had an official invitation from the country's institutions to perform in Pristina on Independence Day. Moreover, it has not even been discussed any cost to respond to the invitation. The staff of the world-renowned singer as well as the Kosovo Presidency have confirmed this.

The latter has said it has tried to bring Lip and the other singer of Albanian descent Bebe Rexha, but all of this has remained on a level of conversation, as this has been in advance impossible. Dukagjin Lipa, part of the managerial staff and at the same time the father of the singer who is reaching the top on the world stage, has told “Koha Ditore” that all discussions have been made about her time and schedule, but these conversations had also been unofficial.

All of the discussions we've had about the possible arrival of Love in Pristina have been about her time and schedule, but even these conversations have been in friendly, completely unofficial forms. So it's not true either the claim or the amount that's been talked about in these portals, the inaccuracies that we feel about”, Lipa said.

From the moment Rita Ora confirmed her arrival in Pristina, posting on social networks the news on the 14th of February, online media began to circulate speculation that I Love Lipa had refused the invitation and that he had demanded a total of 200 thousand euros to become part of the festive concert.

Because we haven't accepted any official invitation from any state institution, we haven't even discussed financial issues”, Lipa firmly said. Nor has Ardian Arifaj, political adviser to Kosovo President Hashim Thaci, also part of the Organising Council for the 10th anniversary of Kosovo's declaration of Independence, confirmed. He said they've been trying to get in touch with I love Lipla, but also Bebe Raja, who, according to him, have been willing to come, but as a result of their timing, this has not happened. However, he acknowledges that the official invitation did not have but says conversations have been held.

There were some conversations. It is not as it is being reported whether he wanted to come or not, nor is it the amount of 200 thousand euros. I don't know where these unequivocal information came from, he said, as he clarified about the conversations with world star management, I want Lipa.

The Organising Council has been trying to contact them, are ready to say, but because of the timing we haven't been able to bring them in. Because of contractual obligations, they have not been able to answer. We also contacted Bebe Raja, but neither did she because of contractual obligations. Companies arrange the agenda. Rita Ora's been sharing her time early. This isn't about their wish if they want to come, because they have a management behind them”, Arifaj said.

Another issue, which has also been talked about in local media in recent days, is the poor report between the two Kosovo singers living in London, affecting the peaks of their career with successive successes.

“I want and Rita are two professionals who have special careers and audiences for which they work and are reaching peak success on the music scene. There wasn't and there was no enmity between them”, Dukagjin Lipa said. Rita Ora during the conference she held Saturday in Pristina a few hours before she took to the stage at “Square Skenderbeu” has just mentioned the two Albanian singers who are building a world career: I want Lip and Baby Rex. She has said she is the first singer to appear before the world and to have a reputation that she enjoys today, as she mentioned Bebe Reja and Love, who are now doing the same. Asked if the public could see together on a scene, she said it was open to this.

I know we're all too busy. I had a chance to meet Bebe in New York and she's one of my best friends now. I haven't had a chance to meet Duane. We've been very busy. I know she's on the Tour, and I'm doing my work tour. But you don't know. Never say never. You know me, I've been here and I'm ready for everyone to come and join us to create a wonderful moment”, the clock said.

Wonderful moments had also brought Id Lipa with her concert on August 9, 2016, to Pristina's Germ Park. Kosovo's capital gave the image of world metropoliss. He realized what he had promised eight months earlier in the exclusive interview given “Koha Ditore” for the festival number of 2016.

I think we'll have something new soon. We are keeping a little bit of a secret”, she had said when she was asked about any project regarding Kosovo. “Very well to be home”, she said in another exclusive interview for the KOHA Group media one day before appearing in front of 20,000 people in the capital. In that same interview, she had said she represents her country, even though she is not born in Kosovo. “I lived in Kosovo, I feel Albanian, I feel Kosovo, Pristina 100 percent”, the world star said.
