In the 3-year history of the Sunny Hill Festival , many artists, including those of international renown, have participated. This year, based on the Dukagjin Lipsa statement a year ago in Kosovo, was expected to perform Bebe Rexha and Rita Ora. The final list became public and none of them will be on the festival.
In an interview for RTK, he showed that he had sent Rita and Bebe's invitation, but none of them confirmed the attendance.
"We want this festival to have a long life and be held annually, so in every edition we bring different artists. Next year we will invite Rita Orë and Bebe Rexha, "said Dukagjin Lipa a year ago.
"We like to have many other artists. We like to have Rita Orës, Bebe Rexha, Ere Istrefin and many Albanian artists) who have left traces in the world, "added Dua at that time.
But although this year the singers were invited, none of them refused. One reason may be related to the many engagements of the two artists, but the tensions of the past are not excluded - for the Rita.
The relationship between Rita Ora and Dua Lipa has been over and over. Both girls are originally from Kosovo and have gone the same way to reach where they are. They talk almost in every public outcrop about their origin and probably have to meet because they live in the same city. Unintentionally, they would have accidentally encountered the streets. But no, they have never met.
I want in an interview for a Swiss media long ago spoke very briefly about Rita. "Anyone coming from Kosovo makes me proud," I said in general terms. "We have the same origin. Unfortunately I have not met yet. I usually do not compare with it. "
On the other hand, at a press conference on the occasion of Independence of Kosovo a year ago, Rita, questioning whether we will ever see the three Albanians in Kosovo, said: "I know we are the third most occupied. I had the chance to meet Bebe in New York and she is now one of my best friends. It's unprecedented, very fun. While I did not have the opportunity to meet Duan, we were very busy. She is doing her tour and I'm doing my tour. But never say never. I am here and I am ready to join others. "
Both artists have been part of several events together. For example at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards 2017 Rita Ora was presenting and performing, Dua Lipa as well. Neither did they meet in the evidence. Then both patriots were at Grammys, at the same place. Neither did they meet there. It can be real coincidence, but neither does it follow each other on Instagram.
Resources for "Not Just Fashion" showed some time ago that there is indeed a conflict between the two. I wanted her in the early days to help Rita to give her a hand to raise her in music, but Rita refused to help her.
We remind that in February 2018, to celebrate third place ranking on the list of most successful female artists in iTunes and Spotify, Rita deleted the name of Dua, which stood at a higher rate, in second place. She might have avoided such a gesture, most of all because they both have long been adamant of a hostile relationship, but they were not interested at all.
Regarding the festival , the proceeds earned from the tickets sold go to the Sunny Hill Foundation, which was founded about 3 years ago. His opening ceremony was organized through the singer's concert in Pristina on August 9, promising that all incomes would go to charity. In August last year, the Sunny Hill Foundation donated 100,000 euros for charities, cultural events, and music schools in Kosovo.
