## Summary

Dua Lipa has settled the final copyright lawsuit over her hit “Levitating”, bringing years of legal disputes about the song to a close. Producer Bosko Kante’s 2023 case concerned his talk box recordings, which he said were used in remixes without his approval.

Kante said he had agreed to let the recordings be used in the original song, but not in later versions, including remixes featuring DaBaby, Madonna and Missy Elliott. The settlement terms and any changes to songwriting or recording credits have not been disclosed. “Levitating” reached No. 2 on the US Hot 100 and spent 77 weeks on the chart; two earlier copyright cases over the song were dropped or dismissed.
