Lola Young sues Carter Lang over Messy credits

British singer Lola Young filed an intellectual property lawsuit against producer Carter Lang on Wednesday over disputed songwriting credits for four tracks. Young's legal team stated they had no alternative but to pursue court action after Lang claimed writing contributions to songs that feature her viral single Messy. The 24-year-old artist's lawyers rejected Lang's assertions and emphasized her authentic songwriting process while noting agreements were established after recording sessions concluded. Lang has previously collaborated with SZA, Post Malone, and Justin Bieber, but representatives for Young indicated the credit dispute had persisted for several months before reaching litigation.
