\nThe latest lawsuit Lizzo was served is a family affair. According to The Detroit News<\/a><\/em>, Lizzo was sued by Orlandus Dunning for illegally sampling his audio from a gospel hymn during a mutual relative\u2019s funeral on \u201cCoconut Oil,\u201d which landed on the EP of the same name in 2016.<\/p>\n

Dunning is seeking $750,000 in damages claiming he\u2019s \u201csuffered anguish, embarrassment and outrage\u201d since the song was released on Atlantic Records \u2014 Lizzo\u2019s first major-label project. Dunning also claims he had no idea that his voice would be used to open and close the track.<\/p>\n

He originally filed the lawsuit with Wayne Circuit Court at the end of 2020 but the case was moved to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan last week. In addition to the Grammy-winner,\u00a0Atlantic Records, Atlantic subsidiary Nice Life Recording Co. and Warner Music Group Corp are all reportedly named in the suit.<\/p>\n
