Back when the calendar pages flipped to March 2022, the Sunshine State’s very own Artikal Sound System went all guns blazing against Dua Lipa, alleging she shoplifted their creativity to whip up “Levitating.” Fast-forward a few heartbeats, and the legal eagle in the robe, Judge Sunshine Sykes, swatted away the complaint like a pesky fly.

Now, the plaintiff’s legal opera centered around a melodious tale. They spun a yarn of Lipa and her cohorts at Warner Records, along with Clarence Coffee Jr., Sarah Hudson, and Stephen Kozmeniuk (the last one pulling double duty as a producer too), borrowing a few threads from 2017’s “Live Your Life.” The song in question served as the alleged inspiration behind Lipa’s hit, now a Spotify sensation with a mind-boggling two billion streams.

Our Florida band, in their sun-soaked bravado, insists that their tunes filled the air at several Floridian venues before “Levitating” took flight in late August 2018. Each gig featured the band belting out “Live Your Life,” which, coupled with media coverage, festival spots, and streaming availability, essentially handed the defendants the creative keys, according to Artikal Sound.

To thicken the plot, Artikal Sound pointed to a seemingly innocent social connection, like a breadcrumb trail leading to the ‘Scene of the Crime.’ Chris Cope of Artikal Sound and songwriter Ali Tamposi, who co-wrote “Break My Heart” from Dua Lipa’s ‘Future Nostalgia,’ are Facebook friends. They even share a guitar tutor!

Despite their well-laid accusations, however, Judge Sunshine Sykes decided to flip the script. The court lambasted their arguments regarding the defendants’ exposure to “Live Your Life” as too fluffy and wishy-washy. Whether the song played live, on a CD, or streamed, the court found the arguments “as unsatisfying as a drumstick without the chicken.”

As for the casual online friendship between Cope and Tamposi? The court dismissed it as bearing “as much relevance as a chocolate teapot” in the lawsuit. It neither proved any substantial connection between the two songs nor indicated any potential encounter between the defendants and the plaintiff’s song.

And as if things couldn’t get more dramatic, the court rejected the defendants’ plea to move the entire charade to New York, where Lipa is already juggling a separate legal hot potato, courtesy of Larball Music Publishing. The Florida-based Artikal Sound has been given until June 16th to brush up their complaint for another round in the legal ring, while the defendants must whip up their counterarguments by the 30th.

While Dua Lipa’s legal tango unravels, the copyright wars continue unabated elsewhere. The family of Ed Townsend, the co-writer of “Let’s Get It On,” is contesting a verdict involving Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud.” Meanwhile, 50 Cent finds himself in the legal crosshairs over his work on the catchy “Candy Shop.” Well, that’s all folks! Stay tuned for the next episode in this never-ending copyright soap opera!

Hold onto your ear pods BLACKPINK FANS,

Yes girls of all ages, we’ve got a tale that’s going to make your mascara run!

Did a rumored dressing room shortage of glitter and mascara turn BLACKPINK’s Lisa and Rosé from pop princesses into a couple of black and blue bruisers? This story is so wild it’s even got glamorous grandmas shaking their heads and saying, “Back in my day, we settled our differences with a dance-off!”

Now, we all know that rumors about feuds in pop groups are as common as a catchy chorus. From the boy bands of yesteryear to the girl groups of today, whispers of in-fighting are as much a part of the pop music landscape as synchronized dance moves and catchy hooks. The latest group to be caught in the rumor mill is none other than K-Pop sensation, BLACKPINK, with the spotlight shining on Lisa and Rosé.

Now, these two have been open about their initial rocky relationship. In their 2020 Netflix documentary, “Blackpink: Light Up the Sky,” Lisa admitted that they used to fight so much that she once tried to tell Rosé she was annoying, but ended up talking about black bean noodles instead. Talk about a communication breakdown!

But recently, fans have been speculating that the two are back to their old ways. According to KPop Starz, during their shows in October 2022, Blinks (that’s what BLACKPINK fans call themselves, for those not in the know) noticed Lisa and Rosé keeping their distance on stage. This was unusual for the dynamic duo, who are usually as close as two peas in a pod. So, what gives?

Well, according to fellow band member, Jisoo, there’s no feud to see here, folks. In 2023, Jisoo laughed off the rumors, saying that the girls treat such speculation as a joke. But let’s be real, even the best of friends can have their moments, right?

Take, for example, their ‘B.P.M.’ Roll #4 YouTube video. Lisa and Rosé had a little spat after Lisa said she wouldn’t tag Rosé in a photo. Rosé was upset, but they hugged it out in the end. And, in true sisterly fashion, Lisa didn’t end up tagging Rosé in the photo. Classic!

So, despite the rumors, the glitter shortages, and the mascara meltdowns, it seems that Lisa and Rosé are still as tight as ever. And if their bond can survive a dressing room brawl, we’re pretty sure it can survive anything.

And hey, if this story has taught us anything, it’s that even glamorous grandmas can be groupies. So, keep on rocking, grandmas!
