Lizzo Accused of<br />Plagiarizing ‘Truth Hurts’.<br />Claims of plagiarism have<br />been brought against Lizzo<br />by producer Justin Raisen.<br />According to Raisen, “Truth Hurts”<br />is similar to a 2017 track he wrote<br />with Lizzo, called “Healthy.”.<br />His complaint is particularly centered around the<br />opening line of “Truth Hurts,” as well as the song’s melody. .<br />I just took a DNA test, turns out<br />I’m 100 percent that b----, “Truth Hurts” / Lizzo.<br />We were never contacted about being credited for<br />the use of the parts of “Healthy” (melody, lyrics,<br />and chords) that appear in “Truth Hurts.", Justin Raisen, via Instagram.<br />Raisen claims to have been<br />unsuccessfully trying to settle the<br />dispute privately with Lizzo since 2017.<br />We’ve tried to sort this out quietly for the last<br />two years, only asking for 5% each but were<br />shutdown every time ... Coming forward publicly<br />to family, friends, artists, and colleagues seems<br />to be the only way at this point in relieving some<br />of our emotional distress caused by this, Justin Raisen, via Instagram.<br />If settled, Raisen promises to<br />share some of the proceeds with<br />Mina Lioness, who has also accused<br />Lizzo of plagiarizing the opening line.<br />If Ricky and Lizzo’s team decide to settle<br />this dispute with us, we would like to share<br />some of the proceeds with Mina for her<br />influence on "Healthy." , Justin Raisen, via Instagram
