Megan Thee Stallion’s troubles with 1501 Certified Entertainment haven’t stopped her from releasing new music. Hot Girl Meg has dropped her Suga EP in the midst of a legal battle with her label.
The 300 Entertainment artist’s nine-track project is the follow-up to last year’s Fever mixtape. Kehlani and Gunna make guest appearances on the EP.

Megan Thee Stallion is moving forward with her Suga project despite an ongoing dispute with her label 1501 Certified Entertainment. The Roc Nation-managed artist has announced her intentions to release her EP on Friday (March 6), sharing the cover art and tracklist via social media.
“SUGA 3/6 #REALHOTGIRLSHIT,” she wrote on Instagram.
Megan’s swift rollout comes after she put 1501 on blast for allegedly blocking her from releasing new music. The problems with her label stem from an attempt to renegotiate her contract and ultimately resulted in a lawsuit, which provided her with a temporary restraining order to drop music on March 6 as planned.
Megan Thee Stallion's Lawsuit Against 1501 Label Implicates J. Prince As Intimidator
Former MLB player Carl Crawford, the CEO and founder of 1501, has claimed Megan’s been holding back money owed to his label for months. He also blames JAY-Z and Roc Nation for causing the issues between his imprint and Hot Girl Meg. But Megan’s team alleges the hold is due to 1501 collecting money from her for two years without her being paid and provided with proper accounting.
Although a Harris County judge granted Megan a temporary restraining order against 1501 and paved the way for her to release the Suga, the situation remains in flux. Complex obtained legal documents revealing Crawford filed an emergency motion to dissolve the restraining order, which could throw a wrench into Megan’s plans if granted.

Legit label concern or low grade bait to hype dis?
She’s gonna have that snitch gunna ( most over used local name for a wack rapper) the game got corny so fast.
Huh?
This album looks like she’s about to get out of that contract by handing in a trash 9 track debut. You can tell by the tracklist off rip. Its coming this Friday randomly? She’s got another album ready for summer in the tuck.
This is an EP so I dont think your theory is true regarding getting out of the contract. This is not a debut
Megan Thee Stallion is just another hoe thot rapper straight from the assembly line. She about to be run out of Houston and the South. Hoe career is about to be over and Jay-Z won’t help. Jay-Z fucked up too by putting in nose in other people’s business
hoe thot — hoe that hoe over there rapper
SMH at what this album is about to do
She’s so fucking hot bro. Just hope the album isn’t hot ‘poubelle’
*in a specific part of the world, in a specific time IN the world
This ep is kinda hot trash, that’s sad tho… she was smacking last year, all that ego done popped her bubble. I hope she regain momentum, hopefully she playing chess and turned this hot mess in as a sandbag technique to fool 1501 into a renegotiation….
She’s hot… until she speaks, raps or purrs.
Yooo, why yall keep deleting my shit? Im not even saying anything controversial.
.. ya know when you F’d up and you don’t have to step up and correct a wrong but you can and should correct the wrong? That’s were I’m at right now.
I didn’t pay attention to the details of the above article and mentally thought this story was about Cardi B… I posted a comment below and am now taking it back. My comment was to the wrong female rapper. After watching a breakfast club interview of Megan then doing more research to understand the “details”… Megan had a life I could have only dreamt about. For me, I’m an ol school head and way more hardcore “hard body animal rap” and might not bump Megan, but gotta give respect where it’s due! Megan’s paid her dues and had a life style of growing up in the studio! Once I found Hip-Hop in my youth, all I wanted to do was record.
To end this, I offer my apology, peace and respect to Megan Thee Stallion.
Original B-Boy hiphoppa
I really don’t get y’all saying she can’t rap. She can legit spit. Honestly, she crafts rhyme schemes better than a lot of guys that are in the game now. I just don’t get the hate.
