Dua Lipa has reached a settlement in a long-running legal dispute over her blockbuster hit ‘Levitating.’

Court documents filed on Monday (November 9) confirmed that both parties had resolved the copyright infringement and breach of contract lawsuit brought by producer Bosko Kante.

Full story below…

Kante initially filed the lawsuit in 2023, claiming that his talk box performance was used beyond the scope of an agreement he had reached with the song’s production team. According to the producer, his licensing deal only covered the original version of ‘Levitating’ and did not extend to subsequent remixes, including the hugely successful version featuring DaBaby.

His attorney, Na’il Benjamin, welcomed the resolution, stressing that:

“Artist contributions are valuable; and proper use, credit and compensation are important to artists. We believe we’ve resolved Bosko’s disputes with Warner in a manner that reflects Bosko’s contributions to Levitate.”

While the terms of the agreement remain undisclosed, both sides have agreed to cover their respective legal fees and expenses. The case has since been dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be brought again.

Previously, reggae group Artikal Sound System accused Lipa of copying their song ‘Live Your Life,’ while songwriters L. Russell Brown and Sandy Linzer alleged similarities to their 1979 disco track ‘Wiggle and Giggle All Night.’ Both cases were dismissed in the singer’s favor.

With the latest dispute now resolved, another legal chapter surrounding one of Lipa’s biggest hits has come to a close.
