Florida reggae band Artikal Sound System have filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Dua Lipa, alleging that she ripped off their 2017 track "Live Your Life" for "Levitating".
TMZ reports that Artikal Sound System's lawsuit accuses Dua Lipa of copying their 2017 track "Live Your Life" for her huge hit "Levitating", claiming that she heard their song pre-2020.
Artikal Sound System have reportedly named Warner Records and others as defendants, and are asking for profits made from "Levitating" as well as damages.
