Lizzo Accused of Plagiarism Over “Juice”

Pitchfork has reached out to Lizzo’s representatives for comment.

Producer Justin Raisen recently accused Lizzo of plagiarism, claiming that he, Lizzo, Jeremiah Raisen, songwriter Jesse Saint John, and producer/songwriter Yves Rothman wrote the line, “I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100 percent that bitch” for a demo called “Healthy.” Earlier this year, singer Mina Lioness accused Lizzo of stealing that line from a tweet.
