Documents state that Tesfaye's producer allegedly sent the movie director a direct message on Twitter in March saying that he sampled the beat and that it might be on "The Hills".
In September 2018, Tesfaye and Daft Punk were sued for allegedly stealing the rhythm in "Starboy" from a poet, singer and songwriter named Yasminah. Yasminah sued for at least $5 million. Tesfaye denied the allegations.
In November 2018, Tesfaye was sued for copyright infringement by another comic book writer named Eymun Talasazan for stealing the "Starboy" idea. Talasazan claimed he had already created a comic book character named "Starboy" before Tesfaye. A few months earlier, Talasazan attempted to trademark the "Starboy" name unsuccessfully.
In April 2019, Tesfaye was sued by a British trio for $150,000. They accused Tesfaye of plagiarizing their song "I Need to Love" with "A Lonely Night".
Philanthropy
After being presented a Professional Excellence Award by the Bikila organization in 2014, Tesfaye was asked by the organization if he would like to contribute. In August 2016, he donated $50,000 towards a class at the University of Toronto on Ge'ez, the classic language of Ethiopia. He also tweeted to help raise funds and gain support for the program. That same month, Tesfaye also donated $250,000 to Black Lives Matter, and posted a tweet showing his support for the movement.
In June 2017, Tesfaye donated $100,000 to the Suubi Health Center, a maternity and children's medical facility in rural Uganda.

Fire salamander
The fire salamander (Salamandra salamandra) is a species of salamander which can be found in Europe. It is black and has different kinds of yellow spots or stripes. Some salamanders are mostly black while others are mostly yellow. Shades of red and orange may sometimes appear. They either mix with the yellow, or replace it completely. This depends on the subspecies. Fire salamanders can have a very long life. In the German natural history museum of Alexander Koenig a salamander lived more than 50 years.
Where they live and what they eat
Fire salamanders live in forests in the hilly parts of southern and central Europe. They prefer deciduous forests. They like to hide in the fallen leaves or mossy tree trunks. They need clean small brooks (small rivers) in their habitat. This is for the development of the larvae. Both on land and in the water, Fire salamanders are hard to notice. They spend much of the time hidden beneath stones, wood or other objects.
How they reproduce
Males and females look pretty similar except during the breeding season, when the most conspicuous difference is a swollen gland around the male's vent. This gland produces the spermatophore, which carries a sperm packet at its tip. The courtship happens on land. After the male becomes aware of a potential mate, he confronts her and blocks her path. The male deposits his spermatophore on the ground. Reproduction occurs by means of this spermatophore, which will be taken up by the female. Their gills develop lungs. Neotenic fire salamanders have not been observed.
How they defend themselves against being eaten
Salamanders may actively defend themselves once they are grasped by a predator. Besides various antipredator postures, S. salamandra adults are able to make strong poisons. These usually act on the nerves of the predator. They are called neurotoxins. One such poison is the alkaloid Samandarin. When the salamander senses danger, it can secrete this through its skin. This alkaloid causes strong muscle convulsions and high-blood pressure combined with hyperventilation in all vertebrates. The poison glands of the Fire salamander are concentrated in certain areas of the body, especially around the head and the dorsal skin surface. The colored portions of the animals skin usually coincide with these glands. Most of these secretions might be effective against bacterial and fungal infections of the epidermis, but some secretions could also be dangerous to human life.
Where they occur
Fire salamanders are found in most of southern and central Europe. They are most commonly found at altitudes between 400 and 1000 m, only rarely below (in Northern Germany sporadically down to 25 m). However, in the Balkans or in Spain they are commonly found in higher altitudes as well.
Common names
Salamandra salamandra (Linnaeus, 1758)
Subspecies
Several subspecies of the Fire salamander are recognized. Most notable are the subspecies fastuosa and bernadezi. These two are the only viviparous subspecies – the others are ovoviviparous.
Some former subspecies are today recognized as species due to genetic reasons.

Hotarubi no Mori e
Hotarubi no Mori e (蛍火の杜へ) is a Shōjo manga. It was written by Yuki Midorikawa. It was shown in the LaLa DX magazine in July 2002. After, in July 2003, the manga was recreated as tankōbon short stories. The manga is about a girl called Hotaru and her friend Gin. Gin is a young man that wears a mask. They met when Hotaru was six in a forest. Hotaru learnt that if she touched Gin, he would disappear forever. Hotaru comes back every summer so that she can spend time with Gin. Many people think that Hotarubi no Mori e was a starting point for another book that was also written by Yuki Midorikawa. That was called Natsume's Book of Friends.
An anime movie that had the same name as the manga was created. It was 44 minutes and it was released in 2011. It was made in a studio called Brain's Base. The director of the movie was Takahiro Omori. The main voice actors of the movie were Ayane Sakura and Kōki Uchiyama. Some of the music in the movie was made by Makoto Yoshimori. Many people enjoyed the movie and many people were big fans for a long time after the movie was released. The movie came out on 17 September 2011. It was showed at the Scotland Loves Animation festival, the Leeds International Film Festival, Anime Expo, and the 66th Mainichi Film Awards.
The movie came out on blu-ray and DVD in Japan. This was on 22 February 2012. An extra story that was called Hotarubi no Mori e Tokubetsuhen (蛍火の杜へ 特別編) also came out. This came out in a special version of the manga. The special manga and the blu-ray were on number 13 of the Oricon list. People that reviewed the movie said that the movie was very good. They said that it was a beautiful and simple movie. They compared the movie to movies by Hayao Miyazaki and Makoto Shinkai.
Story
The original manga and movie have the same story. A six-year-old girl called Hotaru Takegawa gets lost in a forest. Many yamagami and yōkai live in this forest. A person wearing a mask called Gin finds Hotaru. Gin tells Hotaru that if she touches him, he will disappear. He helps Hotaru get out of the forest. Later, Hotaru keeps visiting Gin in the forest. They become friends, but Hotaru has to go back home in the city for school. Hotaru promises Gin that she will keep coming back each year.
Hotaru grows up but Gin doesn't grow. Hotaru's age quickly becomes closer to Gin's age. When Hotaru becomes a teenager, she finds it hard to keep their friendship together. This might be because they love each other a little bit and that their future together seemed very uncertain. Gin wishes that he could touch and hold Hotaru, but he cannot. One year, Gin takes Hotaru out on a date in a festival. This festival was organised by the spirits. Gin accidentally touches a human boy. He disappears, but he and Hotaru hug. They both tell each other that they loved one another. Hotaru soon moves on with her life near the end of the story.
Hotarubi no mori e Tokubetsu-hen
In Hotarubi no Mori e Tokubetsu-hen (蛍火の杜へ 特別編), the story is told from Gin's point of view. When Hotaru leaves after the summer, some of the yōkai try to cheer Gin up. They give him some persimmons. Persimmons were a very special treat on the mountain. Gin wants to share a persimmon with Hotaru next year. He goes up to the top of a mountain to find ice so that he can preserve a persimmon but he could not find any ice. One of the spirits named Matsumino feels sorry for him and tries to bring the persimmon to Hotaru. Matsumino gets lost on the way there and eats the persimmon. At the end of the story, Hotaru comes back the next summer. Gin thinks about if he can tell Hotaru that he loves her.
Manga
Many people think the love story between Hotaru and Gin was the starting point for Natsume's Book of Friends. This is because both stories have humans and yōkai interact together. In both of these stories, there are many differences between the characters. Many things stop their relationships and how they understand each other.
Midorikawa wrote another part of the story in 2011. This was before the anime movie's release. It was called Hotarubi no Mori e Tokubetsuhen. She didn't want to add to the story at first, because the story was already finished. Because of this, she wrote from Gin's point of view.

Muezzin
A muezzin is a man who calls Muslim people to prayer through the adhan from the minaret of a mosque.
He leads the call (adhan) to Friday service and the five daily prayers (also known as the salat) from one of the mosque's minarets. Blind people often got the position; this is so that they could not see the places where women gathered. Today, many mosques have electronic amplification, and the muezzin no longer needs to be on the minaret.
In the city of Abu Dhabi, the call to prayer is coordinated, all mosques transmit the call of the muezzin of Sheikh Zayed Mosque. The idea for a similar system in Cairo failed in 2004.
