Megan Thee Stallion has turned up the heat on her upcoming trial against her former label, 1501 Entertainment, filing a motion to demand some key evidence from her former best friend.

Court documents obtained by Radar Online reveal that the “Hot Girl Summer” rapper has filed a deposition demand and a motion to compel against her former best friend, Kelsey Harris, on Wednesday (May 31).

In these demands, which were made through Megan Thee Stallion’s attorneys, Harris will not only be required to answer questions under oath on videotape, but will be required to turn over all pertinent text communication between herself, Tory Lanez, and 1501 label head Carl Crawford.

In addition to demanding to see the text communication between the parties, Megan Thee Stallion has demanded to know whether Crawford approved of Harris’ diss song, “Bussin Back,” which was made against her ex-bestie, and which was also introduced as evidence in the Tory Lanez shooting trial.

This request, according to the American Bar Association, is a normal one and is part of what is known as the discovery phase of trial, which is when both parties in a case agree to show evidence they plan to introduce at trial. Discovery prevents “trial by ambush,” which means neither Megan Thee Stallion nor 1501 Entertainment will be allowed to introduce “surprise” evidence at trial.

But as of this writing, it is unclear whether 1501 Entertainment — the opposing side — filed a motion to quash, or any motion in opposition, of the demand.

This demand by Megan Thee Stallion is just the latest turn of events in a trial which has had several twists and turns since its inception.

Just last week, the Houston hottie made a motion to depose 1501 executive Darien Smith — who also happens to be the boyfriend of Harris.

Per the court docs, Megan has requested to depose Darien because he allegedly has “first-hand knowledge” regarding this debacle with her former label head Carl Crawford.

She’s also accused the label of failing and refusing to work with her “in good faith to schedule these depositions.”

“The Court should compel 1501 to comply with its discovery obligations, produce outstanding documents, and produce the deponents requested for depositions to ensure all outstanding discovery is completed by July 5, 2023. The clock is ticking. Pete is eager to obtain closure; this action has been pending long enough,” the legal document read.

Prior to this, Megan filed a motion in court claiming that Crawford was taking the money meant for her.

The trial against 1501 Entertainment is scheduled to begin on August 7.
