Megan Thee Stallion has amended a lawsuit against her 1501 Ent. label with reason to believe she’s fulfilled her contract with the release of her Traumazine album.
Per Rolling Stone, the Houston Hottie is requesting a Texas judge rule that her LP is the final obligation to satisfy her deal with 1501 and free her from her tumultuous relationship with the label and its boss Carl Crawford.
Meg has upped her demands in her lawsuit against 1501 as well. She previously wasn’t seeking money but is now looking to be compensated with $1 million in damages for what the 27-year-old believes was 1501’s efforts to derail her career and take advantage of her.
1501 is still pursuing its own lawsuit against Megan Thee Stallion, claiming it’s owed millions of dollars as part of their 2018 contract where 1501 agreed to recoup 30 percent of her touring and merchandising profits.
1501 is also pushing back against Megan’s claims that her Something For Thee Hotties project qualifies as an album because it includes previously-released music as well as new songs.
“Carl be so mf mad ahhhh haaaa that’s why you can’t make no more money off me,” she tweeted on August 11 prior to Traumazine‘s release signaling that she was no longer financially tied to 1501.
In a follow-up tweet, she wrote: “I know he over there wiping the shit out that head with that towel cursing hard af.”
Thee Stallion hinted at her hand being forced to release Traumazine on Friday after songs were leaked, along with her cover, art last week.
“I can’t catch a break my label hate me and my shit always leak,” she wrote. “At this point invite the hotties to the studio and shoots.”
Traumazine finds Meg at her most vulnerable and features cameos from Future, Key Glock, Latto, Pooh Shiesty, Rico Nasty, Jhené Aiko, Lucky Daye, Sauce Walka, Dua Lipa and more.
The project bowed in at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 66,000 total album-equivalent units sold and marks her fifth consecutive top 10 placement on the albums chart.
Want in one hand, and shit in the other.
I’m usu not a woman basher but Meg is a garbage human being. Artists never understand your first label invested the money that got you hot enough to be on Roc Nation’s radar. Talent doesn’t make you hot money and connections do. Disagree? Look at all Puff’s artists after they left BadBoy.
bro i just need twenty on pump 2 and this twisted tea
Puff financially screwed over nearly everyone he signed. They had the talent and connections he just smothered everyone for daring to work outside him. If we’re going by the connections argument roc nation is obvs the better spot for her to move to, because outside of her and maybe 2 other artists on her label no one’s checking for 1501. The whole crux of the argument between them is that 1501 never really spent any (or mismanaged) time, energy, or money into promoting her and/or getting connections. If all that is found to be true (and it’s looking likely) her f them attitude isn’t surprising
I don’t like this bitch period. All her white handlers tell her to act like everything is some Color Purple drama. All these black men who helped her discovered her, paid for her producers, engineers. studio time, she has betrayed in the worst way. It’s business and she has not been abused IN ANY WAY. ITS OFFENSIVE THAT SHE SELLS HER MUSIC ACTING LIKE BLACK MEN ARE ABUSING HER. FCK HER
She’s never brought race into it. If you also think she has no white handlers at 1501 ent you must be dumber than you sound. Just because she has beef with two men who happen to be black doesn’t mean she has a vendetta against y’all smh. Doja has done wayyyyyyyy more to be anti-black man (chats with neo n@z1s, only dating white, weird colorist remarks in general) where’s this same energy from black men? Yall continue to give her a pass cuz you wanna smash tho lmaoo ridiculous
shut the fuck up
Still there’s something special and unique about Megan tho… I just can’t quite put my finger on it guys but I like her, maybe not so much her music but that latest song that’s out now entitled “her” to me sounds pretty dope, R.I.P. to her mom family.
