Dua Lipa Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Unauthorized Use of Talk Box Recording in Hit Song “Levitating”

International pop sensation Dua Lipa finds herself entangled in a legal battle as music producer Bosko Kante takes legal action against her for the use of a recording in her chart-topping hit single “Levitating.” The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles, alleges that Dua Lipa used a recording made with Kante’s talk box in several remixes of the song without obtaining proper permission.

Kante, the creator of the innovative ElectroSpit Talk Box – a device that transforms vocal vibrations into instrument-like sounds – claims that he is entitled to over $20 million in profits generated by the immense success of “Levitating.” The lawsuit contends that while Dua Lipa had permission to use the talk box in the original recording, she allegedly violated the terms when incorporating it into subsequent remixes and future releases, including The Blessed Madonna remix and a performance at the American Music Awards.

The legal action underscores the importance of intellectual property rights in the music industry, with Kante’s lawyers asserting that the alleged unauthorized use constitutes a “blatant infringement” of his copyright. They reveal that Kante made numerous attempts to resolve the matter outside of court, yet Dua Lipa’s purported unwillingness to cooperate or accept responsibility has led to the lawsuit.

As the legal battle unfolds, music industry professionals and enthusiasts alike are closely watching the developments. The case brings attention to the need for clear and unambiguous permissions when incorporating creative works in musical productions. The outcome of this lawsuit may have far-reaching implications for artists and producers in terms of copyright protection and the use of innovative technologies in the industry.

Both Dua Lipa and Bosko Kante will be facing scrutiny in the courtroom as they present their arguments. The resolution of this lawsuit will likely set a precedent for future disputes concerning the proper authorization and utilization of creative elements in the dynamic and ever-evolving world of music.
