Megan Thee Stallion’s issues with her label quickly went from social media to a Texas courtroom. Hot Girl Meg has reportedly sued 1501 Certified Entertainment after calling out the imprint for blocking her from dropping new songs.
According to TMZ, a Harris County judge has granted Megan a temporary restraining order that will allow her to release music as she planned on Friday (March 6).
During an Instagram livestream on Sunday (March 1), the Roc Nation-managed artist publicly revealed 1501 was stopping her from putting out any music after she attempted to renegotiate her contract.
Megan Thee Stallion Claims Her Label's Blocking New Music Over Contract Renegotiation Attempt
“We are very happy the Court granted our TRO and thrilled that the world should be able to now hear Megan’s new music on March 6. We will now proceed with the other claims set forth in the [lawsuit],” Megan’s attorney Richard Busch told TMZ.
Megan’s lawsuit airs out some of the details of her contract with 1501, which was founded by former MLB player Carl Crawford.
The suit reveals she received a $10,000 advance for a contract that gives the label 60 percent of her recording income. She also says her 40 percent has to cover costs for engineering, mixing and collaboration fees.
Megan’s contract allegedly demands all money from her touring and live performances be paid directly to 1501 as well. The label is supposed to provide her with proper accounting of what she’s owed, but she has accused 1501 of giving her incomplete information that’s “purposefully and deceptively vague.”
The lawsuit also brings up Crawford’s connection to Rap-A-Lot founder J. Prince.
Megan has accused her label boss of using Prince’s reputation to intimidate others in the music industry. She specifically cites one example in which Crawford allegedly pressured a producer to provide beats by using the Rap-A-Lot founder’s name.
“Prince is notorious in the industry for strong-armed intimidation tactics, and the comment was taken as a physical threat of harm,” the suit states.
Megan is suing Crawford and 1501 for $1 million in damages. Although his name is mentioned in the suit, Prince isn’t listed as a defendant.

A couple of Houston Dudes who were up and coming wound up dead talking shit about J. Prince and Rap-A-Lot. This dummy signed a contract without reading it. Ride out that counteract and sign with a real label. 150what? Maybe she can join De La Soul…
My Gawdddd. A slave deal. $10K
Shows you its all a illusion.. I can hustle any generic items on the streets and built up 10k easy.. Im convinced these “artists” are mostly thirsting for the fame, because if they were really on their business savy they wouldn’t be selling their soul by signing these slave deals.. 60% of earnings to the label and she pay for all production costs out of her 40% share.. Smh.. She was out her goddamn mind to sign that bullshit
Sure “Jedi.” Were waiting on you to hustle up that 10K on “the streets” which will turn into millions out of comparison. Jackass. Since you have all of this imaginary pull, please use your influence in Narnia to keep Trump form a second term. Thanks. Shout out to your moms who’s basement you live in. Dork.
Soon as I clicked to reply it the box said “Reply to this dummy”.. Lol.. I ain’t even gotta type nothing else.. The universe already stamped exactly what u are.. A dummy…thanks for the energy, hater.. My demons appreciate it.. Please type more so they can feed on your astral body
Spectacular! Keep grinding bro don’t let this dummy tell you what you can’t do. Btw your original comment was 100% on point. Thirsty ass people in love with fame. No business savy whatsoever. Signing bad deals and getting played.
Wow $10k advance? Label takes 60% ? No wonder she has to twerk every 2 seconds and post it. What ever happen to getting a lawyer to read the contract before you sign? After she pays all that other shit wtf she taking home? Potatoes?
Dumb ass Megan
Not to mention her 40% must cover expenses LOL
Don’t mess with Lil J.
Y’all gonna let me have those beats for free, in the name of J. Prince. Amen
So this trannys as snitch now too? Fuck this bitch your the dumbass that agreed to give 60% of your earning to a company that doesnt even cover your recording costs or touring costs outa there 60% what a dumn bitch haha
That’s hogwash didnt have to look at it when you first seen the so called fucked up contract but dont say anything about you double crossing Carl when you tried to ease your way to rock nation and thought you was going to breach the contract through Jay Z influence and go to his label. That’s why Carl got the best man to help him in the industry j prince who seen the fuckery for over 30 years so just wait to your deal ends and then go somewhere else.
Please. Speak. English. Idiot.
.
That’s a dude!!!
Sounds like Megan is snitching on J. Prince.
Snitchin is for street dudes. No hard working man or woman gonna let some gangbanging punks stop their income.. move out the way or go 2 jail.. if ur a street dude its different
I like thicc bois
She’s a dumbass for signing that deal, but how fucked up are these record execs that they are fucking up their own people. That is a dead ass slave deal.
So when you go negotiating for a new car or a house do you not come with a lower than market average offer and work your way up? Its not the record execs fault this dumb bitch is too stupidto read and comprehend basic math
Bruh she’s a 7 at best first off. As an artist she another Nicki clone. Just opinions…
Must be into trannys cause it lookin like one all day
Whoever convinced her to sign this TLC deal is good and I gotta say that meg must be one gullible ass fool for putting her name on that contract. What the hell is she getting out of this deal exposure because they getting a huge cut out of her recording, they taking all of the touring including merch income, and she’s left to foot the bill for making the music that the label is profiting from.
Though she was a Boss Bitch
Thought she was a Boss Bish
Sorry this bich is unattractive just another piece of industry ass stupid dum as fuck can she read
Your momma a ugly bitch
All this noise and I bet the music that’ll be released on Friday will be basura caliente. All this to salvage a career full of coochie and the bag raps…Cardi, Nicki, Megan…they churning em out off an assembly line. It’s like on the Child’s Play…they coming off the line with arms on the head, legs out the crack of they ass. Female rappers and thugs are the crackbabies of Hip Hop. Jean Grae, Shortie No Mas, Rah Digga are exceptions…even Color Purple ass Rapsody I’ll give a pass to.
Can’t blame the label, you sign the deal. This is what happens to young rappers desperate for fame, success and opportunity . Also keep in mind no name artist rappers, singers, producers come into the business with no leverage to negotiate. She will get out of this deal pretty easily I think. Why hasn’t Roc Nation management team took care of this upfront they lacking. For Carl Crawford what are you doing? You basically called a man so he can stick his hand i
your pockets. Crawford was reactive instead of proactive, when you seen she had any glimpse of a chance of blowing up
that’s when you should have double back and re negotiated that deal gave her more. It would have made her feel power right before she gained leverage and would have extended the deal and you would have made more money. J prince can’t help you, he will help himself tho lol.
Well, that isn’t going to go over well. What she think? Going to the courts going to stop her having to drop that money off for a pass? Doesn’t work like that cupcake. Bigger people than you had to pay the fee.
J Prince the so called gangster of the South will strongarm her like a pimp. Sorry to say but you’ll be his slave
Yeah Meg, signing to a notorious drug dealing gangster is probably a bad idea. It’s like signing to Suge
Jay then snaked his way into another one off these clowns mind that he gonna do them better SMH. Now Crawford you put your trust in J Prince let’s see if it workout for you or if you just given away free money now little rapper girl with 15 min of Fame better watch how you move in a cutthroat biz social media will cause you alot of pain for calling people out very disrespectful. Now J Prince you gotta show and prove you aligned yourself up with 1501 let see you do what you rep says Jay just struck first we watching
She only giving one side of the facts to make it appear as if she is a victim. She gets half of her masters and 40% of her royalties. NO NEW ARTIST has ever gotten that. Plus this was a deal that HER MOTHER and T. Pharris put together with HER LAWYERS.
