According to Stereogum.com, earlier this week, Lola Young announced she will be “going away for while” after collapsing onstage during her All Things Go festival performance. And now, the artist is taking legal action against one of the producers of her mega-viral hit “Messy” due to an alleged dispute over songwriting credits.
On October 1, the British star filed an intellectual property court claim against Carter Lang, who has worked with artists SZA, Post Malone and Justin Bieber. A statement from her lawyers says: “It is with immense disappointment, especially given recent events, that we have had no choice but to respond to recent writing credit claims from Carter Lang on four Lola Young songs by issuing legal proceedings on her behalf.”
The statement adds: “Carter’s claims are strongly refuted and we will not allow Lola’s reputation and integrity to be called into question – particularly so long after the sessions took place and agreements were put in place. Lola has always been authentic in her songwriting process and acknowledges songwriting contributions where appropriate. This dispute has been ongoing for several months and we look forward to the truth being established.”
