According to MXDWN, Tiesto announced his next steps as a DJ to his fans. He has created new music with notable collaborators, such as 21 Savage, who is predominately well-known for his rap music, and collaborations with other artists, such as the Weeknd and Metro Boomin, in their hit song, “Creepin.” Tiesto has also collaborated with BIA.

However, in recent events, Tiesto has allegedly faced backlash for his 2021 single, “Don’t Be Shy,” featuring Karol G. Their single, which combines a mix of Latino dance-pop and electronic beats made by Tiesto, has caused them to face a copyright lawsuit. The lawyers for another musical artist, Rene Lorente, believed that Tiesto had developed a melody similar to “Algo Diferente,” a song Lorente produced in the year 2000.

According to Billboard, financial measures for the alleged lawsuit are taken severely. Donahue reports that the lawyers who advocate for Lorente’s single allegedly request a 52 million-dollar fine, but the compensation for damages is to be made freely. Karol G and Tiesto’s responses from both respective managements are yet to be discussed.
