Pop sensation Lizzo is embroiled in a legal battle after being sued by the GRC Trust for allegedly sampling a 1970s song without permission. The controversy centers on an unreleased track that gained attention on social media for its reference to actress Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle Jeans campaign. The snippet, posted in August, included the line ‘I got good jeans like I’m Sydney,’ sparking debates over its intent. The GRC Trust claims Lizzo unlawfully sampled Sam Dees’ 1970s song ‘Win or Lose (We Tried),’ for which they hold the copyright. They are seeking an injunction to block further distribution of the song and a financial settlement for lost profits. Lizzo’s spokesperson expressed surprise, noting the song has not been commercially released or monetized. This is not Lizzo’s first copyright dispute; in 2019, producers sued over her hit ‘Truth Hurts,’ though the case was later dismissed. The GRC Trust is also pursuing legal action against Kanye West for sampling another Sam Dees song.
