What happened next?
In 2000, Mattel who own the rights to the "Barbie Girl" doll filed a lawsuit against Aqua's label, MCA Records for damage of reputation. That was thrown out as the judge commented that all "parties are advised to chill". Aqua split up in 2002, reunited in 2008 and split again in 2012. A second reunion came about in 2016 and still together. They are lined up for couple of 90s Nostalgia Tours in Canada and Italy in 2021 (COVID-permitting).
