Lizzo is being hit with another plagiarism claim over her smash single, "Truth Hurts."
Songwriter and producer, Justin Raisen posted a video to his Instagram in which he compared "Truth Hurts" to a single called "Healthy" that he allegedly wrote with Lizzo and others in 2017.
Raisen's complaint is centered around "Truth Hurts'" now-famous opening line-"I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100 percent that bitch"-as well as the fact the two tracks share the same melody.
This is the second time Lizzo has been accused of stealing portions of "Truth Hurts." In February 2018, British singer, Mina Lioness, says she first tweeted the line "I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100 percent that bitch"
