English and Albanian singer and songwriter Dua Lipa is currently facing a multi-million dollar copyright claim over her hit single "Levitating."

Musician Bosko Kante has filed a legal action against her, alleging that she used a recording made with his talk box in remixes of the song without obtaining permission.

As of now, Dua Lipa and her label Warner Music Group have not yet responded to the copyright claims regarding the unauthorized use of the talk box recording in her hit single "Levitating."

The song "Levitating" is one of Dua Lipa's most popular tracks from her 2020 album "Future Nostalgia."

The legal dispute centers around the alleged use of the talk box recording in the song, which has led to the multi-million dollar copyright claim against her.

The legal action, which was filed in Los Angeles on Monday, claims Bosko is entitled to more than $20m (£15.6m).

It says British-Albanian star Dua Lipa had permission to use the talk box on the original recording but not on any remixes, Reuters reported.

It alleges the 27-year-old reused the work without permission on further releases, including The Blessed Madonna remix, which featured Madonna and Missy Elliott, another remix featuring DaBaby and a performance by Dua Lipa at the American Music Awards.

Bosko is yet to comment publicly on his claim, however, Billboard reports his lawyers say he has made “numerous attempts” to resolve the matter, which they call a “blatant infringement” of his copyright.

Lawyers maintain Bosko has taken legal action because the singer and her label had shown “unwillingness to co-operate or accept responsibility”.

It is not the first time Dua Lipa, who is currently in the charts with her song Dance the Night Away, has faced copyright claims over Levitating.

According to Reuters, a court complaint from reggae group Artikal Sound System was dismissed in June – and a separate claim, by songwriters Sandy Linzer and L. Russell Brown, continues.

In 2021, she was also sued over claims she put a paparazzi photo of herself on Instagram without permission.
