The case centres around the use of a talk box track made by musician Bosko Kante.
Musician Bosko Kante has alleged that Dua used a recording made with his talk box in remixes of the hit song without his permission.
It’s the third time that the star has been hit with a lawsuit relating to the song – here’s what we know about the case so far.Bosko’s lawyers filed a suit in Los Angeles on 31 July, which was obtained by. In the suit, they claim that he created a talk box track for use on the original version of Levitating, which appeared on Dua’s 2020 album Future Nostalgia.
A talk box is a device which allows musicians to use their mouth to alter the sound of their instruments. However, they argue, he did not grant permission for the track to appear on later iterations of Levitating, such as the version featuring rapper DaBaby, another remix featuring Madonna and Missy Elliott and a rendition performed at the American Music Awards.
“All three remixes sampled and incorporated a greater amount of [the] Plaintiff’s work than used in the original version,” his lawyers said. “Defendants did not seek or receive any authorisation or permission to use the composition or sound recording of plaintiff’s work from plaintiff”.
