TikToker goes viral after claiming Dua Lipa Levitating lawsuit is a hoax Instagram: Dua LipaA recently viral TikToker that goes by the user name \u2018mathiasmorte\u2019 has claimed that Dua Lipa\u2019s \u2018Levitating\u2019 lawsuit, her second for alleged copyright infringement, might be a hoax. 26-year-old pop star Dua Lipa was recently accused of plagiarism, with her song 2020 hit song Levitating\u2019smelody sounding almost identical to a band called Artikal Sound System\u2019s song \u201cLive Your Life,\u201d which they allegedly released in 2017. This band quickly filed a lawsuit, as originally reported by TMZ, claiming the song as their own. However, not everyone is convinced this legal battle is legitimate. TikToker claims that Dua Lipa\u2019s lawsuit is a hoax On March 4 a TikTok star named Mathias Morte, who specializes in music production, uploaded a video discussing the Dua Lipa Levitating lawsuit from a musician\u2019s perspective. Morte explains that Artikal Sound System\u2019s song \u201cLive Your Life\u201d and Lipa\u2019s \u201cLevitating\u201d are in the same key and have the same chord progression. But that alone isn\u2019t enough to prove copyright over another song, according to the TikToker. Morte\u2019s theory of Lipa\u2019s lawsuit being a hoax stems from the fact that all versions of \u201cLive Your Life\u201d by Artikal Sound System were only posted to YouTube within the last few days. \u201cSo you\u2019re telling me that Dua Lipa heard this song with zero comments and likely very few listens and then copied it in the exact same key, with similar lyrics, culminating in Artikal Sound System suing two years later just in time for their new album release?,\u201d Morte questioned. The only version of \u201cLive Your Life\u201d that wasn\u2019t from the last few days was one copy of the song uploaded to Soundcloud years ago, which he quickly noted that the platform lets you replace audio files getting rid of all comments and statistics. While Morte\u2019s theory strongly supports the idea of the lawsuit being a hoax, not enough evidence has been presented to make a conclusion on whether or not Lipa is clear and free from copyright infringement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
