Pop sensation Dua Lipa stunned fans at the Sunnyhill Festival in Kosovo last night, but it wasn’t for her outfit or choreography. This time, the buzz came from an unexpected duet with her father, Dukagjin Lipa, who joined her onstage for an emotional performance that’s left social media in a tailspin.

The two were filmed singing together in a short clip that quickly spread across Reddit and X, with fans praising their touching chemistry and family bond. While Dua’s talent has never been questioned, many were surprised by how comfortable, and vocally capable, her father appeared on stage. Dukagjin, a former rock musician and co-founder of the Sunnyhill Foundation, looked right at home next to his Grammy-winning daughter.

The Sunnyhill Festival, now in its fourth year, was founded by the Lipa family as both a cultural celebration and a platform for Albanian artists. But with this father-daughter performance, it took on a much more intimate tone.

Fans online were divided. Some gushed over the heartwarming family moment, while others questioned whether Dukagjin might be eyeing a comeback. “Dua Lipa just soft-launched her dad’s singing career and I’m not mad about it,” joked one Reddit user. Another quipped, “Is he the new Zaddy of Kosovo?”

There’s no word yet if the duet will be officially released, but fans are already demanding a full-length collab. Whether it was a one-time sentimental gesture or a teaser for more, the Lipas have once again proven they know how to keep us watching and talking.
