Truth hurts, and apparently so does success.
Lizzo's song "Truth Hurts" has spent weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and tied a record for the longest-running No. 1 rap song by a female artist. But in recent weeks, the song has also been the subject of controversy after a group of songwriters publicly claimed that "Truth Hurts" plagiarized parts of another song they helped write.
The 31-year-old singer responded to the allegations in an Instagram post on Wednesday, denying that the men seeking credit had anything to do with the song.
"The men who now claim a piece of Truth Hurts did not help me write any part of the song. They had nothing to do with the line or how I chose to sing it," Lizzo wrote. "There was no one in the room when I wrote Truth Hurts, except me, Ricky Reed, and my tears. That song is my life, and its words are my truth." (CNN)
