Did Lola Young settle her dispute over stolen songwriting credits? Legal showdown with producer ends with a confidential agreement

Lola Young’s lawsuit  against producer Carter Lang has reportedly been “resolved.” People magazine reported on November 21, 2025, that the Messy hitmaker, who filed a lawsuit against Carter on October 1, 2025, accusing the latter of taking songwriting credits for four of her songs, had withdrawn the suit.
