British pop singer Lola Young has taken legal action against one of the producers behind her hit single “Messy”.

The star has apparently filed an intellectual property claim against Carter Lang following his claim for writing credits on four of her songs, something she “strongly refutes”.

The BBC reports that the case was filed in London on behalf of Young and Sony Music Publishing on Wednesday (1 October), the day after the 24-year-old cancelled all of her upcoming shows following an on-stage collapse in New York.

A statement from her lawyers said: “It is with immense disappointment, especially given recent events, that we have 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.

“Carter’s claims are strongly refuted and we will not allow Lola’s reputation and integrity to be called into question – particularly so long after the sessions took place and agreements were put in place.”

The statement continued: “Lola has always been authentic in her songwriting process and acknowledges songwriting contributions where appropriate.

“This dispute has been ongoing for several months and we look forward to the truth being established.”

The four songs involved in the dispute have not been named.

Lang, who has collaborated with big names including Post Malone and Justin Bieber, has not spoken publicly about the suit.
