Lizzo faces another legal turmoil when her new song, mentioning a viral line from Sydney Sweeney's trolled jean advertisement, uses an unlicensed sample from another existing track.

GRC Trust is filing a lawsuit against the 37-year-old rapper, whose real name is Melissa Viviane Jefferson, and her label Atlantic Records, over the claims of replicating samples of the song 'Win or Lose (We Tried)' without authorisation for her still unreleased single 'I'm Goin' In Till October,' based on the filing obtained by TMZ.
