In a significant legal development, songwriters Olmo Zucca and Jackson LoMastro are once again suing over their contributions to Tyla’s Grammy-winning hit “Water.” The duo alleges that they were unfairly excluded from production credits and their rightful share of royalties for the 2023 smash hit, which has garnered immense success.
The lawsuit claims that producer Sammy SoSo engaged in deceptive practices, undermining Zucca and LoMastro’s contributions to the song. “Water” achieved impressive commercial success, peaking at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning a Grammy award, with reported earnings of $10 million so far. The songwriters believe that the track could potentially reach $50 million in revenue over time, emphasizing the stakes involved in their legal battle.
This lawsuit highlights ongoing issues within the music industry regarding credit and compensation for songwriters, particularly as the financial success of hits continues to grow. As the case unfolds, it could set important precedents for how contributions are recognized and rewarded in the music business.
