I don't think Lodash ever "credited" Underscore.js for it's origin. Lodash used to have a "compat" version that promised to work the same as Underscore.js but with better performance, but I think that's about it.

After some digging, it seems like the Lodash website stopped mentioning Underscore.js around 2015 sometime, but even before that, it never had "evidence of said inspiration" as claimed by you.

Here are the versions I looked at:

Good digging. The 2012 banner is

    > A drop-in replacement\* for Underscore.js
I'd consider this to be an admission of where the API came from.

You are right though, my memory failed me. No mention of forking.. Shameless!
