Cece Peniston is the 3rd songwriter to accuse pop star Lizzo of plagiarizing their work. Earlier this week, songwriting team Justin and Jeremiah Raisen accused the “Truth Hurts” singer of stealing the line “I just took a DNA test and found out I’m 100% that bitch”.
But they later confessed they stole the lyric from Black British rapper, Mina Lioness, for a song called “Healthy”.
Then ’90s house music star CeCe Peniston (pictured) accused the morbidly obese singer of stealing her “YaYa EE” ad-lib for “Juice” from her dance track “Finally” without permission.
“For everybody who thought I was exaggerating on my claims of #copyrightinfringement please go check out the article I’m the the #3rd person who has said something,” Peniston wrote on Instagram.com on Thursday.
“… just for the record and so you understand … anytime anybody uses a song over 7 seconds thats using a “portion” of their copyright, Lizzo not only takes over that, she’s used several times adding up to about 40 seconds, its my lyric it’s written down as well , it’s the signature to the opening in my song #finally and all commercials are using it from the “Adlib” section because they know it’s catchy sooo #notjustanadlib it’s a check !!!! @umpg @atlanticrecords”.
So far, no copyright lawsuits have been filed.
