Megan Thee Stallion has reportedly filed legal documents requesting both Carl Crawford and J. Prince sit for depositions regarding her contract with 1501 Certified Entertainment.
According to TMZ, the “Savage” rapper notified the court on Tuesday (August 23) her legal team will be “grilling” Crawford and the Rap-A-Lot Records founder, who she said has been advising him on business dealings. Prince is expected to sit with her attorneys at a Houston office on October 24, while Crawford is scheduled for the following day.
Megan Thee Stallion filed a lawsuit against 1501 earlier this week, asking a Texas judge to rule she’s satisfied her contract with her latest album, Traumazine, which arrived on Friday (August 22). She also demanded $1 million in damages. The move prompted Prince to speak out in defense of Crawford on Instagram, sparking another social media war.

“The truth is that Carl discovered, developed and fully financed MTS early in her career which led to a life changing distribution agreement for her with 300 Entertainment,” he wrote in part. “[…] Any attempt by MTS or RN to portray a contract that provides a new unknown artist with 40% of the label’s PROFITS as unconscionable or unfair is blatantly false and contrary to the customs or norms in the music industry.”
