Days after Lola Young collapsed on stage during a New York performance, she filed an intellectual property court claim against producer Carter Lang, accusing him of taking songwriting credit for four of her songs. According to the BBC, the lawsuit was filed in London on behalf of Young and Sony Music Publishing.

The Messy hitmaker's legal representatives said in a statement:

“It is with immense disappointment, especially given recent events, that we have had no choice but to respond to recent writing credit claims from Carter Lang on four Lola Young songs by issuing legal proceedings on her behalf.”

They added that “Carter's claims are strongly refuted and we will not allow Lola's reputation and integrity to be called into question,” adding that the singer worked very hard on the songs for her efforts to be disregarded.

The lawyers continued:

“Lola has always been authentic in her songwriting process and acknowledges songwriting contributions where appropriate.”

Adding that the “dispute has been ongoing for several months,” and they were looking “forward to the truth being established.”

The lawyers did not reveal the four tracks in question.

Some of Lola’s songs with contributions from Carter Lang include:

1) Good Books

2) Messy

3) Crush

4) One Thing

6) Walk Over You

7) Post S*x Clarity

8) Not Like That Anymore
