In 2021, Dua Lipa watched her ‘Future Nostalgia‘ hit ‘Levitating‘ live up to its namesake on the Hot 100 when it soared into Billboard history books for becoming the longest-running top 10 hit ever by a female artist.

And while that unprecedented chart triumph got its fair share of laud from fans and admirers alike, there have been a few who have withheld applause – namely those who have attempted to take the GRAMMY winner to court on allegations of copyright infringement.

Just two months after learning the second case of that ilk was dismissed by a U.S. District Judge, another multimillion-dollar claim against the Stephen Kozmeniuk and Stuart Price-produced bop has arisen.

To say Ice Spice‘s latest single, ‘Deli,’ took a big bite out of this week’s Billboard Hot 100 would be an understatement.

Found aboard the recently released deluxe edition of her debut EP, ‘Like..?,’ ‘Deli’ was first introduced to the masses via an electric performance at the 2023 BET Awards before being given the video treatment a month later alongside its official release.

The boost given from the exposure of its George Buford and Frederick Buford-directed clip (alongside the buzz around its parent project) not only pushed ‘Deli’ to an impressive opening on the refreshed Hot 100 but also to great personal milestone status in Spice’s discography.
