British-Albanian pop star Dua Lipa has filed a $15 million (£12 million) lawsuit against Samsung Electronics, alleging the company used her image without permission on television packaging. The case centers on claims of copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and violation of publicity rights.

At the same time, social media users have circulated unverified claims linking the dispute to her political views, including support for Palestine. No major news organisations or legal documents have confirmed these allegations, yet the rumours have added a layer of controversy to an already high-profile case.
