Dua Lipa Sues Samsung for $15 Million Over Unauthorized Image Use

Washington DC. Pop singer Dua Lipa has filed a lawsuit against South Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung. She has demanded 15 million US dollars from the company, accusing it of using her picture on television packaging without permission.

According to the lawsuit filed in a district court in California, USA on Friday, Samsung used a picture of Dua Lipa's face on the boxes of various television models sold across America without permission.

The lawsuit states that Samsung's packaging was designed to promote and increase sales of its products by unfairly exploiting the success Dua Lipa has earned through hard work. The lawsuit also includes allegations of copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and misuse of Dua Lipa's image and identity.

According to legal documents, the picture was taken during a performance at the Austin City Limits festival in 2024 and it is claimed that Dua Lipa owns the copyright to it.

The lawsuit mentions that Dua Lipa only became aware of her picture being used on Samsung's TV boxes in June 2025. After that, fans started posting on social media calling it the Dua Lipa TV box.

The lawsuit also includes some comments from Instagram, where users responded that they wanted to buy the TV because it had Dua Lipa's picture. According to Dua Lipa's legal team, the company ignored repeated requests to "stop the infringement".

Dua Lipa has previously had commercial partnerships with brands like Puma and Versace. She has also collaborated with brands including Apple, Porsche, and Chanel. Recently, she became the global ambassador for Nespresso. Her latest album Radical Optimism was released in 2024.
