Lizzo Faces Copyright Infringement Lawsuit Over Social Media Teaser

By Editorial Team

A lawsuit filed in California federal court alleges that American singer and rapper Lizzo used someone else's composition in an unreleased song she previewed on social media. The suit claims copyright infringement and was filed on Tuesday.

Lizzo, known for hits like "Truth Hurts" and "Good as Hell," is now at the center of a legal battle over the alleged unauthorized use of music in a teaser posted on her social media accounts.
