Dua Lipa, queen of the charts and breaker of hearts, might soon be invading your freezer section! That’s right, the 29-year-old “Don’t Start Now” superstar is taking a break from making bops to, apparently, serve up some scoops. According to a report by The Mirror (and some very dedicated fans with access to Google), she’s applied for a license to protect her name as a brand… for frozen desserts.
Yes, you read that right. Frozen. Desserts. From the woman who gave us non-stop hits, now comes non-stop brain freeze.
But wait, there’s more! Dua isn’t just dipping her toe into the ice cream biz with a vanilla cone and a prayer. Oh no, she’s coming for everything. We’re talking non-dairy ice cream (for your lactose-intolerant bestie), dairy ice cream (for those who love suffering), ice cream cones, ice cream cakes, ice cream drinks, ice cream dreams… Basically, if it has “ice” and “cream” in the name, she’s planting her flag there like a pop star conquistador. Oh, and milkshakes and yogurt too, because why not?
As if that wasn’t enough, Dua decided to drop a food confession recently during her interview on Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James, and it has us all scratching our heads and rethinking our dessert choices. While most people happily drown their chocolate ice cream in toppings like fudge or caramel, Dua Lipa goes rogue. “I get vanilla ice cream,” she says, like the rest of us, “and I put olive oil on it, and sea salt.” Because, obviously, why not turn your dessert into a Mediterranean snack? It’s like she’s trying to one-up every hipster chef with a bizarre combo that somehow probably tastes like heaven.
So, while Dua Lipa’s chart-topping reign continues, we might soon be queuing up for her ice cream—covered in olive oil and seasoned with a dash of pop star magic. If that doesn’t scream “icon,” we don’t know what does.
