1. DUA LIPA MOVED OUT AT THE AGE OF 15 

According to Standard, Dua Lipa moved out of her house at the age of 15 and headed to London. The singer was originally raised in London, but her family moved to Pristina, Kosovo when she was 11. So, she moved back to London by herself at the age of 11 to pursue her singing career.

2. SHE STARTED HER SINGING CAREER ON YOUTUBE 

Dua Lipa started posting covers of her favourite songs on YouTube at the age of 14. She released her first single New Love in August 2015. The singer dropped her first album, which was self-titled in 2017. 

Her hit song New Rules made her the first female solo artist to reach the top of the charts in the UK since Adele’s smash hit Hello.

3. DUA LIPA IS 27 YEARS OLD 

The New Rules hitmaker was born on 22 August 1995. So, she is 27 years old.

4. SHE ‘ALMOST’ ASSAULTED A POLICE OFFICER

According to NME, Dua Lipa and her friends were threatened with arrest after they threw excess bubble-bath bubbles off a balcony when she was 15. The friend group didn’t realise that they hit a police officer who was walking underneath them.

“It came to the point where he was like: ‘We’re gonna take you down to Scotland Yard,” she said.

“I was in tears by that point. He was like: ‘How old are you? 15? We’ll just send you a warning in the post,” she continued.

5. SHE THOUGHT BASKETBALL WOULD HELP HER GROW

The One Kiss hitmaker was reportedly really short and she thought that taking up basketball would make her taller. However, it did not. Instead she claims she began to grow the “second” she quit.

“I thought it would help me grow but it didn’t. The second I quit, I did grow,” according to NME.
