Dua Lipa Sued Again for Copyright Infringement
Just days after she was sued by Artikal Sound System, Dua Lipa is facing another copyright infringement lawsuit related to her smash hit, “Levitating.”
On Friday, songwriters L. Russell
Brown and Sandy Linzer filed a lawsuit that accused the Kosovan Brit of lifting a melody from two songs they co-wrote in the late ‘70s, “Wiggle & Giggle All Night” (performed by Cory Daye)and “Don Diablo” (performed by Miguel Bosé). Unlike the first lawsuit, which flags the beat and cadence of the book, this one flags the melody in the verses. The law suit also names Dua’s record label, Warner Music Group, and her co-writers, including DaBaby, who wrote a verse on the song’s remix.
In the complaint filed with the court, the lawyers for the songwriters said:
“Defendants have levitated away plaintiffs’ intellectual property. Plaintiffs bring suit so that defendants cannot wiggle out of their willful infringement.”
They must be trying out for spots in the SNL writers room.
