The year 2022 is only just beginning, but already it’s been a tough one for Dua Lipa. The pop singer has just been hit with her second lawsuit in as many weeks, with both claiming she stole melodies from other songs to create one of her most popular singles.This time around, songwriters L.

Artist: Miley Cyrus Accolades: A feature on 2021’s “Without You,” a duet with the Kid Laroi, was Cyrus’ first No. 1 song since 2013Out: Adam Leber, who represented the artist for a decade, during which she had a No. 1 album, “Bangerz,” which yielded two massive singles (“We Can’t Stop” and “Wrecking Ball”); major hosting gigs (VMAs, “SNL”) followed.

Dua Lipa took to Instagram on Saturday, March 5 to wish her father, Dukagjin, a happy birthday.“Happy birthday to my twin,” she wrote under a series of photos of her and the “silver fox,” which sparked a lot of comments from fans who can’t get over how great he looks. The pictures the “Levitating” singer uploaded show her and her father during some recent hangout sessions, highlighting just how much they really do look alike.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIt’s almost become a model in recent years: If a song’s a hit, the copyright-infringement lawsuits follow, and Dua Lipa was clobbered with two of them in four days last week. Her global hit “Levitating,” which has spent 68 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, has drawn two lawsuits from songwriters claiming the song infringes on their compositions, according to multiple media reports.The first was filed March 1 by a Florida reggae group called Artikal Sound System, claiming that Lipa’s song lifts from their relatively obscure 2017 track, “Live Your Life.” That complaint includes little specific detail beyond claiming that the two tracks are so similar that it was “highly unlikely that ‘Levitating’ was created independently.” In the second, more-detailed legal complaint, filed on March 4 in New York, songwriters L.

Dua Lipa is facing a second song theft lawsuit over her 2020 hit ‘Levitating’ which, it’s alleged, rips off not one but two songs. Well, three if you also count the allegations made in the first of the lawsuits filed over ‘Levitating’ last week.The legal cliche, of course, is that “where there’s a hit there’s a writ”.

Dua Lipa has responded to an Oscar Isaac fan-fiction story about her being read out on Saturday Night Live last weekend (March 5).On the latest episode of the long-running American sketch show, actor Oscar Isaac could be seen reading out a fan-fiction story about the pop star during a skit on the show.After hearing the story read, Dua Lipa responded on Instagram.“Adds to list of things I never thought would happen in my life”, she wrote, followed by several laughing emojis.A post shared by DUA LIPA (@dualipa)In the sketch, one of the characters Isaac’s played was Michael – a school janitor with an unexpected hobby of writing stories.Michael interrupts a writing class and starts to share a story he’s been writing on, called ‘The Apogee Of Midnight.’The story is about a janitor who is alone a school at midnight before he’s interrupted by a woman who is looking for him.“My name is Dua Lipa,” the woman in the story says. “I’m a big pop star, and I’m looking for a janitor here named Mike.”You can see a video of the sketch here:Last week (March 6), it was revealed that Megan Thee Stallion has teamed up with Dua Lipa on a new single.Posting on Twitter, the rapper shared an image that featured photos of her and the singer on the icing of four cakes.

Dua Lipa is facing a second copyright lawsuit over her hit ‘Levitating’, less than a week after it was reported that Artikal Sound System had sued the singer for allegedly plagiarising their song ‘Live Your Life’.As Billboard reports, in a complaint filed in Manhattan federal court on Friday (March 4), songwriters L. Russell Brown and Sandy Linzer allege that Lipa “duplicate[d]” the “signature” opening melody for ‘Levitating’ from their 1979 song ‘Wiggle and a Giggle All Night’ and 1980 song ‘Don Diablo’, performed by Cory Daye and Miguel Bosé respectively.“The signature melody is the most listened to and recognizable part of the infringing works and plays a crucial role in their popularity,” the complaint reads.

Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa have teamed up on a new single and the collaboration will be released this week, the Houston rapper has announced.The star previously teased in an interview last month that her next “thing” would feature “somebody you might now” and would be “fire”.Now, Megan has confirmed that she will be joined on a new track by Lipa. Posting on Twitter, the rapper shared an image that featured photos of her and the singer on the icing of four cakes.

Dua Lipa surprised an 80-year-old superfan on The Tonight Show after he went viral on TikTok – check out the video below.Late last year, footage of Papa Richy receiving tickets for his 80th birthday to see Dua Lipa on her ‘Future Nostalgia‘ tour was uploaded to TikTok by his grandaughter. The clip, which sees Richy exclaim “Dua Lipa in concert? Are you shitting me?” soon went viral and has racked up almost 2million likes since.And earlier this week (March 3) Papa Richy got the chance to meet the pop star during her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.A post shared by DUA LIPA (@dualipa)“We reached out to him, pretending that we were a radio station in New York and told him that he won a contest for the number one TikTok video of the year — he believed this, he loved it,” Fallon explained to the audience.

Florida reggae band Artikal Sound System have filed a complaint in California federal court alleging that Dua Lipa infringed on the copyright of their 2017 track "Live Your Life" for her massive 2020 hit "Levitating." Their complaint claims Lipa and her co-defendants — including Warner Records and songwriters Clarence Coffee, Jr., Sarah Hudson, and Stephen Kozmeniuk — "listened to and copied 'Live Your Life' before and during the time when they were writing 'Levitating.'” It's a straightforward copyright claim, with the plaintiffs' attorneys alleging that, "[g]iven the degree of similarity, it is highly unlikely that 'Levitating' was created independently from 'Live Your Life.'” The allegation rests on the likeness of the two track's choruses (in Levitation's case, the chorus' second half), which have nearly identical chord structures — albeit ones relatively common in pop music — and vocal melodies, as well as lyrical similarities.

Dua Lipa has a viral dance move that everyone loves and she’s opening up about how it became her signature move.

Hot denim in the city! While on her way to The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, pop star Dua Lipa, 26, put her fit abs on display, rocking a cropped denim leather bustier paired with patterned denim pants that connected into pointed-toe heeled boots. The “Love Again” singer accessorized her look with a slim silver choker necklace, small silver earrings, stacked silver bracelets on her right wrist and one silver ring, also carrying a matching denim-patterned handbag. Dua pulled her dark black locks up in a slick bun to complete the look, with stylish fringed bangs sweeping her face.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorAfter what we’ve all been through in the past two years, every concert feels like a miracle, but a Dua Lipa show more than most. On the surface it might be easy to underestimate the heavy emotions associated with her “Future Nostalgia” album, which was famously released on March 27, 2020, just as the horrors of the pandemic were becoming clear: It’s a dance-party album that arrived at seemingly one of the worst possible times in human history for a dance party album, when there were no parties and the only dancing was done on our own.Yet instead of striking a sour note or seeming like a cruel taunt, it was many people’s escape, their comfort food, their crying blanket — a reminder not only of what we couldn’t have, but what we hoped to get back as everyone wondered, without exaggeration, when or if we’d ever be at a concert or on a crowded dancefloor again.

Dua Lipa is facing legal action from the Florida reggae band Artikal Sound System, who claim that her hit 2020 single ‘Levitating’ copied their 2017 song ‘Live Your Life’As reported by TMZ, a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Federal court accuses Lipa and her label Warner of copyright infringement. The band are reportedly asking for any profits made from ‘Levitating’, plus damages.Although the suit contains little detail about how or why she allegedly copied them, it said the two tracks were so similar that it is “highly unlikely that ‘Levitating’ was created independently.”The case does not explain why the band believes Lipa stole their song, but claims that she had “access” to ‘Live Your Life’.Representatives for Lipa, Warner Music, and Artikal Sound System did not respond to requests for comment.
