These suits are always sketchy AF but this is about as conniving as you can get.

I timestamped both at the chorus where it is extremely obvious.

Dua Lipa and her team need to pay up. From TMZ:

Dua Lipa might be on Cloud 9 over her success with her smash hit song, "Levitating," but there's one band that wants to kick in the gravity ... because they're suing her over it.

A band called Artikal Sound System just filed suit against the British pop star -- who's absolutely blown up over the past couple years of the pandemic with the help of her new album, and this track by extension ... one that's dominated the charts and streaming game.

    Obviously, she (her producers) ripped it off. Most white artists either rip off a style or sound of other hits because they can't create anything new. Why do you think they had to copy every genre of music, these people are not creative, only when it comes to war, killing, or destroying shit, that's when they get creative.

    Wow this is as blatant as you can get. The chorus is exactly the same except for the words. I bet the producer thought that no one knew about the other band so there was nothing to worry about.

    The original song from the band that "Levitating" samples does sound like ass though. Nothing but watered down Black music for the consumption of bland whites on an Eurocentric diet. They sound worse than culture vulture ass UB40 and Snow the rapping snow roach.

    It literally pays to be mediocre and all they have to do is have some marginally talented (at best) opportunist take their mediocre work, make it sound a little bit better, refuse to give credit to the original artist(s), and then those same original artist(s) can eat off a lawsuit they filed and won and they can live on all of the settlement money for the rest of their life.

    Like wow. Even shitty ideas and shitty work are not safe from being stolen.
