After finally breaking her silence on a songwriting dispute surrounding her summer smash “Truth Hurts,” Lizzo has filed a lawsuit against the Raisen brothers, the L.A.-based songwriters who claim they deserve credit on the track. The R&B star and rapper took to Twitter Wednesday to respond to Justin and Jeremiah Raisen’s claim that “Truth Hurts” uses material from “Healthy,” a 2017 tune they co-wrote with Lizzo. She says the brothers contributed nothing to “Truth Hurts” or its most famous lyric, which is central to the conflict. There was no one in the room when I wrote Truth Hurts, except me, Ricky Reed, and my tears. “I was the one who decided that it would be good to be in the song,” Jeremiah Raisen told The Times.
