“It’s not fair for someone who claims to be an advocate for women’s and LGBT+ rights to sing in a country where homosexuality is a crime and women have almost no rights. In the end, money comes before everything and ideals are just for English to see,” said one Internet user.

For Jungkook, one follower added, “You guys can’t be so blind you haven’t seen what’s going on in Qatar. You can’t and don’t throw LGBT+, basic human dignity and women’s rights out the window to support a 3 minute song.”
In addition to fan comments, other artists have also voiced criticism of homophobia and human rights abuses across the country. These singers say they don’t think it’s right to attend the event, and they won’t set foot in it.
“There is a lot of speculation that I will perform at the opening ceremony of the World Cup in Qatar. I will not perform nor have I been involved in any negotiations to perform. I will support England from afar and look forward to visiting Qatar when will he fulfill all the human rights promises he made when he won the right to host the World Cup,” he said Dua Lipaπ§π·
Rod Stewart, also took a stand by refusing more than $1 million to sing in the country hosting the tournament. “Actually, 15 months ago they offered me a lot of money to play there. I refused. (…) It’s not fair,” she explained on social media.

OR Qatar it is a small emirate on the Persian Gulf, ruled like a dictatorship by one family. The country got rich with the discovery of oil, but the wealth is concentrated in a small elite.
Furthermore, the choice of Qatar was criticized because the country is one of the countries that most violate human rights in the world. There are allegations of abuses against migrant workers, who helped build stadiums, against women and against LGBT+ people.
The organizers of World Cup 2022 he promised to receive “all visitors without discrimination”. But homosexuality is a crime in Qatar. The country also bans “public displays of affection” such as long hugs and kisses on the lips, even between heterosexuals.
Another scandal was the treatment of migrant workers who went to build stadiums and infrastructure for the World Cup. the British newspaper The Guardian published that 6,500 foreign workers have died in Qatar since the country was chosen to host the World Cup.
The Qatari government denies the abuses, but has rejected claims by NGOs such as Amnesty International create a compensation fund for workers killed or injured during the preparations.
