DUA Lipa has become a citizen of the European country where her parents are from and says she feels “very proud”.

The Brit pop star was awarded Albanian citizenship during the final leg of her world tour.

President Bajram Begaj granted Dua Lipa citizenship ahead of the country’s 110th anniversary of independence from the Ottoman empire.

President Begaj said the global sensation had made Albanians famous throughout the world.

Dua Lipa posted a pH๏τo of her at the ceremony in Tirana and said that she was “feeling very proud”.

“I will be an Albanian with papers too,” she said while taking her oath.

“It is an indescribable great joy with such acceptance, love and everything,” Lipa said of the citizenship.

The artist then took a pᴀssport pH๏τo, was fingerprinted and signed an application form for an idenтιтy card and pᴀssport.

Dua Lipa was born in London to immigrant Albanian parents Anesa and Dukagjin Lipa from Kosovo.

She sparked outrage in 2020 when she tweeted in support of extreme Albanian nationalism.

She posted a map of “Greater Albania” which includes Albania, Kosovo and parts of neighbouring Balkan countries, and a definition of the word “autochthonous” to suggest Albanians belonged there.

“We all deserve to be proud of our ethnicity and where we are from,” she later said in a statement.

“I simply want my country to be represented on a map and to be able to speak with pride and joy about my Albanian roots.”

The Don’t Start Now and One Kiss singer started performing when she was just five years old.

She was encouraged by her singer-songwriter father and began posting her songs on YouTube when she was 14.

Together with her dad, she co-founded the Sunny Hill Foundation in 2016 to raise funds for people experiencing financial difficulties in Kosovo.

Dua Lipa wraps up her annual concert tour in Tirana’s main Skanderbeg Square today to commemorate the country’s independence day.
