Right, but then when the journalists come around to them, they straight up call her a liar. She said exactly what the said, and has the report here saying exactly that, and then they claim that it's not true.

That's because controversy sells, not because there's room for confusion. A lawyer would point out that the language being discussed is inoquivocal, and the journalists discussing it disingenuous.

Does controversy benefit Google in this case? This seems like something they'd want to keep as quiet as possible and get artists to sign before news gets out of it.

I think Google would like this to never ever ever be discussed again. The fact that their royalty agreements are dipped in six flavors of NDA speaks to that. That said, Billboard has her back. Considering the dissenting opinions seem to come from Diffuser and Hypebot, I'm going with Billboard.
