The battle over who is really '100% that b***h' has reached a new level as three songwriters filed a lawsuit against Lizzo accusing her of plagiarising the line.Brothers Justin and Jeremiah Raisen, as well as Justin 'Yves' Rothman, have long contended that the Grammy winner stole her famed lyric from them and they filed a countersuit against her in federal court on Friday, according to Variety.Lizzo previously sued the trio seeking a judge to rule that they have no claim to the song and, last year, she took to social media to refute their assertion that they should be able to profit from the song. In the countersuit, the men repeated their longheld claims that Truth Hurts is strikingly similar to their song Healthy which they had composed with Lizzo in April 2017, just months before she penned Truth Hurts. 'Lizzo is a talented musician and performer who currently enjoys immense popularity based on a hit song that she did not write alone,' said their attorney, Lawrence Iser, in a statement to Variety.  'The Counterclaims we filed today seek a judgment from the court that the song that is now called 'Truth Hurts' originated in Justin Raisen's home recording studio from a collaboration among our clients, Justin and Jeremiah Raisen and Yves Rothman, along with Lizzo and Jesse Saint John. 'When the case proceeds to trial, we look forward to sharing the sound recordings, videos, photographs and musicology that 100% prove that collaboration.
