Last week, rumors began to circulate online suggesting that the New Rules hitmaker may make an appearance at the event staged at Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar on 20 November. However, Dua took to her Instagram Stories on Sunday to shut down the reports. "There is currently a lot of speculation that I will be performing at the opening ceremony of the world cup in Qatar. I will not be performing and nor have I ever been involved in any negotiation to perform."
